AboutRoy Helge Rasmussen Expertise I live in the southern part of norway and can find my way around most of the country. I will answer questions about social life, culture, language and politics to the best of my knowledge. I am not so good at travel tips outside the south-eastern parts, although I will try to answer.
Experience I live here and have been guiding members of my family around when they visit from abroad for years.
Question I am interested in knowing if the correct translation of the word "once" is en gang? If so can you tell me the proper way to pronounce please or if not can you give me the proper translation as well as pronouncement...THANKYOU!!!!!
Answer Mostly, the meaning of "once" can be translated to 'en gang'. Literary it means [one time] or [one passing].
Id est: "once upon a time" = "it was one time" ='det var en gang'
The pronounciation could probably be approximated to
'deh vahR ehn gahng'
where h denotes that the previous vovel is not diphonticed but stays in its original form. The last word is pronounced like english "gang", but with the vowel from "bath". The R is the rolling R of spanish.
