it’s really a pity no one cares about foreign languages irl because I am a fountain of fun and interesting facts about linguistics and grammar and etymology but my peasant friends could not be any less interested

hi! do you know any Norwegian phrases / words to call your significant other? :) my girlfriend loves Norwegian and I'd like to surprise her!
Hey there! c: Here’s a short list of common endearments!
As for common phrases, maybe something like:
“Jeg er glad i deg” - “I love you” (used towards friends, family, and also your significant other if your relationship is rather fresh or you’re both very young etc.)
“Jeg elsker deg” - “I love you” (only used towards your significant other if you’re in a pretty serious and long-lasting relationship - also occasionally used towards family, though I personally find this quite uncommon)
“Du er det vakreste jeg vet” - “You’re the most beautiful thing/person I know” (lit. “You’re the most beautiful I know”)
“Du er så pen/kjekk” - “You’re so pretty/handsome”
Though if there’s a specific phrase you want me to translate, shoot me another ask! c:

listening to my favorite song after school ends
starting a book and knowing it will be great
taking the time to write my notes again with my favorite stationery
starting a new notebook with thousands of ideas
looking at my freshly-taken polaroid picture and seeing that it looks great
anticipating the release of a new book/album/video game
spending the weekend curled up in bed with Netflix
searching for new beautiful study spots
getting nice new messages on my blog
finally getting that A I worked for
when my new amazon delivery package arrives after weeks of waiting
starting a great new project or self-study course
Dark times all around but there are still people out there who love you
Do not hurt yourself, do not hurt others, get help, talk to someone, anyone. Humanity has survived before and we can do it now if we all just support each other. My country and my people let me down and endangered my life but there’s nothing I or anyone else can do about that so let’s try to spread the love that is so clearly lacking.
