A boat was bought yesterday evening. Now he is a happy boat owner. Explanation: The original sentence is somewhat impersonal. No idea about instant online translator for Norwegian. Only dictionaries, but the word stock leaves much to be desired. zzz |

Det ble båtkjøp i går kveld. Nå er jeg en lykkelig båteier. Explanation: Made a little more personal by using "I" instead of "one". |

Det ble båtkjøp i går kveld. Nå er man lykkelig båteier. Explanation: If you want a translation into Norwegian, this is a possibility. It is impossible to say whether the impersonal pronoun "man" refers to "I" or "we". If referring to "I", the Norwegian tranlsation would be "Nå er jeg lykkelig båteier". If "we", the Norwegian translation would be "Nå er vi lykkelige båteiere". Still, the suggested the translation is possible. |
