| Om du bare vil vaere med, så *holder det i massevis'. all you need is the motivation to take part Explanation: This one is a bit tricky because it has two possible meanings: "If all you want to do is join (an activity), that's fine" or "(To start a club) all you need is the motivation to take part/join" I'd go with the latter in this case, given the context. You can even keep the ambiguity by not including the words in the parenthesis :-). |
