    what language is that? that’s so interesting that there’s some very specific words out there that can’t be explained in other languages.

      Norwegian. Middle-north dialect, to be specific

        I’ll admit I read that as Middle-Earth dialect on first glance.

          There are dozens of us!

          Det er dusiner av oss! (Although that sounds a bit… off)

              “Det finnes dusinvis av oss” would perhaps be a better translation, but it’s not really an expression commonly used in Norway, so it still feels a bit awkward to say.
