How do I say "Woohoo!" in Norwegian?
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.
- Sutta Nipata 3.725

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

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...

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

If you didn't care
What happened to me
And I didn't care for you

We would zig-zag our way
Through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain

Wondering which of the
Buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing

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.)
Yena yena hi maññanti,
tato taṃ hoti aññathā.


In whatever way they conceive it,
It turns out otherwise.
