  Uh. Norwegian chiming in. That translation is really bad. I would never translate slutt that literally means end or stop as graduate or the other way round. For graduate I would translate it to fullført (completed).

  Also datafag may be used some places i suspect, but I haven’t seen it used in higher education. Maybe it was used earlier. But now the terms datateknikk or informatikk are the most common. I have a degree named dataingeniør myself.

    Turns out, neither would Google translate

      The grammar is bad as well. The of is superimposed in the translation. It should have been slutten/enden av datafag to be correct Norwegian. But by then the joke is fully gone.

    You should bring back the usage of datafag as fast as possible

  Due to the Norwegian language conflict there have been various competing forms of written Norwegian over time, two of which have been officially recognized as equally valid by the Norwegian parliament since 1885. Both apparently changed their spelling of “slut” to “sludd” in the 21st century, Bokmål in 2005 and Nynorsk in 2012, presumably in an effort to encourage English speakers to make jokes about Swedes and Danes instead of them.

    Sure, except the Norwegian spelling is “slutt”. The pronunciation is a bit different from the English word “slut”, the English one uses more of a ø-sound for the u. “sludd” is the Norwegian word for sleet, which is a mix of snow and water. This is even stated by your sources.

  The first one is real but not the second.

    It probably is real. Google Translate gets updated and translations change over time. It used to translate “inglasat uterum” (Swedish) as “glazed uterus.”

    It means glass-encased veranda.

    It no longer translates it to that.

  • vivendi@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Use it as a part of some other compound. It will translate fine.

    For example, try slutt datafag lærd

      Just gonna slide in here to say that both that and the original is basically gibberish, my best-effort translation of the last one would just be “stop computer science educated”

    Is graduating not a synonym for ending?

    • TrickDacy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Kind of. I’m just saying they posted a screenshot of a translation not currently happening and I could easily see it be edited in browser with dev tools or Photoshop for Internet points

  Norwegian fаg (subject, discipline, etc) is cognate with English fack (sense: rumen) and Fach (method of classifying opera singers’ voices), all from Proto-West Germanic *fak (division, compartment, period, interval), which is speculated to come from the PIE root *peh₂ǵ- (attach, fix, fasten) which also gives us words as diverse as fang, fast, propaganda, hapax and peace.

  Å slutte (to end, stop, quit etc) from Low German sluten from Proto-Germanic *sleutaną (to bolt, lock, shut, close) which is where we get the word slot (sense: broad, flat wooden bar for securing a door or window) from. Believably from the PIE root *(s)kleh₁w- (hook, cross, peg; to close something) whence also words like close, clavicle, cloister and claustrophobia.

  This being said, slutt datafаg is not really a normal way to say “graduate computer science”. To me it reads more like commanding someone to “quit computer science!”, more like dropping out than graduating, right? A more normal phrasing in my eyes might be, I dunno, å fullføre utdanningen sin i datafаg, “to complete one’s education in computer science”.

  Discussing language and using English to do so, is hysterically ironic. “Is that how you pronounce it? I’ve only ever seen it written!”

  source

  • untorquer@lemmy.world ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The English interpretation of the Norwegian pronunciation still works since the ‘a’ sound is the same as in “dawn”.

      Yeah I only learned it verbally hanging out with the Norwegian family of a friend of mine. I didn’t speak much but I learned to understand quite a bit just from hanging out at their house all the time. And that was in the late 80s. I think I did okay. 😎
