English to Norwegian...

[Storm Hess]

Trying to find a proper translation from English to Norwegian and I keep getting conflicting results.

I want to translate "Storm's Violin" into Norwegian...simple, right?

One result gives me Storm's Fiolin...the other gives me Stormens Fiolin. Is 'Stormen' shown as a possessive noun?

What is the proper transltion from English to Norwegian?

Starting to learn Norwegian as well...trying to learn more about my heritage.

"Stormen" means The Storm. "Storm" means A Storm. You could say "Stormens Fiolin". (the storms violin / violin of the storm). Or if Storm is someones name, "Storms Fiolin".

Thank you!

And my hourly rate is reasonable

And you're more reasonable than google translator, too

Google can be pretty erm... creative sometimes.

The first lesson is simple. One important thing you have to know, when you ask Norwegians to teach you Norwegian, they will teach you to say something dirty or silly or outrageous and pretend it's something normal. Because that's funny and we like to laugh. I have seen it happen many times. People think they have learned to say "Hello, nice to meet you" but they are really saying something silly like "do you like my butt?". So beware of that. That's lesson 1.

And if I ask you to teach me dirty or silly or outrageous lines in Norwegian, will I end up accidentally learning to have a proper and decent conversation?
