How do I say "Woohoo!" in Norwegian?

Just say it in English. Some Norwegians have little dust on their eyes. They will understand.

Dear Kare,

Please pass on a very hearty "Woohoo" to the Norwegian Buddhist community and the hard-working translator for making the Dhamma a little more accessible to your countrymen and women.
kind regards

Ben

I believe the translator is none else than Kare himself...

sadhu!

Indeed, I believe he is!

Takk skal du ha, Kåre - det var veldig snilt av deg. Jeg får begynne å spare litt penger, så får vi se etter hvert.

mvh

Guilty as charged.

The Buddhist Society of Norway now sells the hard copy of this book. And printing, paper etc. costs money, so therefore the book also costs money. But the contents is also freely available online: http://dhamma.priv.no/digha.htm

In Kåre’s translation I believe “woohoo!” would be “Det er vidunderlig og fantastisk”. As in:

“Acchariyaṃ vata bho, abbhutaṃ vata bho, evarūpopi nāma uḷāro satthā bhavissati, evarūpaṃ uḷāraṃ dhammakkhānaṃ, evarūpā uḷārā visesādhigamā paññāyissantī” ti.
(Janavasabha Sutta, DN. 18)


“Det er vidunderlig og fantastisk at det finnes en så ypperlig læremester og en så ypperlig lære, og det er blitt bekjentgjort en så ypperlig vei til det herligste!”
(ibid. Kåre Lie trans.)


“It is wonderful, it is marvellous, that such a glorious Teacher should arise, that there should be such a glorious proclamation of Dhamma, and that such glorious paths to the sublime should be made known!”
(Maurice Walshe trans.)

Thank you, Ajahn!
Its great to see you here once again.
kind regards,
Ben
