norwegian word of the day

et uvær

  lit. an unweather

  n. a (bad) storm, a bad/severe weather

nynorsk: uvêr 

Jeg fikk ikke sove. Det var uvær som holdt meg våken.
I couldn't sleep. It was bad weather weather that kept me awake.

Uværet kunne man høre fra kjelleren. 
One could hear the bad storm from the basement. 

plural: uvær (same as the indefinite singular)
definite: uværet
definite plural: uværene

Note: when talking or writing about a storm, it’s more common to use the word “storm” than “uvær”. “Uvær” is a general word for bad or severe weather. It could just be thunder and lightning or just rain, and still be called “uvær”.

Utepils, usually referred to as the “the first drink of the year taken out of doors”, when the weather gets better and warmer after an extensive period of cabin fever. Though it is actually any beer enjoyed outside, at any time of the year, it is true that the first one of the season is a much anticipated ritual.

Zodiac Signs as… Emotions People Feel but Can’t Explain.

zodiacsociety:

  • Aries: Lachesism– The desire to be struck by disaster – to survive a plane crash, or to lose everything in a fire.
  • Taurus: Chrysalism– The amniotic tranquility of being indoors during a thunderstorm.
  • Gemini: Onism– The frustration of being stuck in just one body, that inhabits only one place at a time.
  • Cancer: Liberosis– The desire to care less about things.
  • Leo: Anecdoche– A conversation in which everyone is talking, but nobody is listening.
  • Virgo: Rubatosis– The unsettling awareness of your own heartbeat.
  • Libra: Nodus Tollens– The realization that the plot of your life doesn’t make sense to you anymore.
  • Scorpio: Opia– The ambiguous intensity of looking someone in the eye, which can feel simultaneously invasive and vulnerable.
  • Sagittarius: Rückkehrunruhe– The feeling of returning home after an immersive trip only to find it fading rapidly from your awareness.
  • Capricorn: Exulansis– The tendency to give up trying to talk about an experience because people are unable to relate to it.
  • Aquarius: Monachopsis– The subtle but persistent feeling of being out of place.
  • Pisces: Énouement– The bittersweetness of having arrived in the future, seeing how things turn out, but not being able to tell your past self.
