The sounds of Norway

The following is a small collection of Norwegian swearwords, or words that can be utilized in a swearing context. (Pluss one non-swearword sounding much like one the swearwords. This has been provided so you can learn the difference.) The .wav files are linked from the appropriate words in the text, and can also be obtained as a single zipped archive. This page will expand in the future so check back in a week. If you have any requests, do send them to me.

Faen. (Same word, different file: Faen2.) In a dictionary it will be written as Fanden, and it literally means "the devil".
Helvete is norwegian for Hell.
Jævel means devil. Not the devil, just any old redskinned, horned, pitchforkwielding denizen of the netherworld.
Javel is an affirmative, used like OK, I just put it in here so you learn not to confuse it with the previous insult.
Kødd means, depending on where you're from, testicle, or penis.
Pokker is an euphemism for Kopper, the disease Pox.
Rævva is a less than PC word for butt and is often used as sort of an adjective.
Rasshøl means Asshole.
Pikk = dick
Fitte = cunt
Jævla is an adjectivization of Jævel and goes well with almost any noun.
Svarte = black. It's used in the phrases "Svarte helvete" and "Svarte faen" and by itself when you don't want to use the whole expression but need to cuss. "Svarte faen" could be missunderstood as a racist remark though, so be carefull.

All the wavs in one zipped file.
