Dictionaries and study-material

Nynorskordboka and Bokmålsordboka are available on the huge web of the world at this location: <http://dina.uio.no/ordboksoek.html> This page is entirely in Norwegian, though, so a minimal knowledge of Norwegian (or Swedish or Danish) is necessary.

In addition, the following dictionaries can be mentioned:

• W. A. Kirkeby. Norsk-engelsk ordbok (Kunnskapsforlaget). Especially good for Norwegian-speakers looking for the idiomatic way to say something in English.
• Aschehoug og Gyldendals Store norske orbok ("moderat bokmål og riksmål")
• W. A. Kirkeby. Engelsk-norsk ordbok
• Einar Haugen. Norsk-engelsk ordbok. Universitetsforlaget. OR the American edition, Norwegian-English Dictionary (not sure of publisher). Especially useful to English-speakers learning Norwegian; includes both Bokm}l and Nynorsk words.
• The latest, most up-to-date version of Guttu's dictionary is Norsk illustrert ordbok. Moderat bokmål og riksmål (Oslo 1993, 1009 pages). The format is now almost exactly like that of Bokmålsordboka (17cm x 25.5cm). Both are excellent dictionaries, which can be recommended. However, Norsk illustrert ordbok has a layout that makes it easier to find what you are looking for in big articles.

(1) Get Einar Haugen's Norwegian-English dictionary. It's great. (Also, it's got a introductory section that describes Nyn-Bokm.) It's written in English in the sense that the explanations, extended descriptions, etc, are in English, not Norwegian.

For English-Norwegian, I don't have any strong opinion. I have and use Kirkeby's Dictionary, and it's good.

The Haugen you should be able to order from your local bookstore. The Kirkeby might be harder. I can get you the particulars (publisher, ISBN number, etc). You might have to order it from Norway, but that isn't as hard as you think. Perhaps someone else in the group here will have suggestions.

(2) I started using the tapes "Norsk for Utlendingar" (Norwegian for Foreigners). This is used in Norway for teaching Norwegian to immigrants. I think it's great. I wish I'd started using it long ago. It's available in the USA from Audio Forum, with the Norwegian texts that go with it, plus an American supplement. For an outrageous price. But it's worth it.
