You will never get an exact answer as to where every króna will come from in the future — neither under home rule nor under full independence. But aquaculture and the oil industry are in any case two sources of revenue that we can be fairly certain will grow in the future.
BLARK_translated
Tú fært aldrin neyvt svar uppá hvar hvør króna skal koma frá í framtídini - hvørki undir heimastýri ella fullveldi. Men alivinnan og oljuvinnan eru id hvussu er tvær inntøkukeldur, sum vid rættiliga stórari vissu fara at vaksa í framtídini.
I have great respect for what (let me be personal for a moment) Høgni did, and I think it's good to have a debate, and I see no problem with the Government working to resolve it — after all they were elected by the people, and that's what matters.
BLARK_translated
Eg havi stóra virðing fyri tí (lat meg vera perónligan einaferð) Høgni gerð, og haldi tað er gott við kjaki, eins og eg ongan trupulleika síggji í at Lansstýri arbeiðir við at loysa, teir eru jú valdir av fólkinum, og tað er tað sum telur.
Vígdis Finnbogadóttir also said on Svf last night that all the Nordic countries have their own cohesion, identity, and nationality, regardless of different economic systems.
BLARK_translated
Vígdis Finnbogadóttir segði eisini í Svf í gjárkvøldið, at øll norðurlondini hava sín egna samleika, sereyðkenni, og tjóðskap, óansæð hóast ymsar búskaparligar skipanir.
That is what should be displayed in Copenhagen under one roof.
BLARK_translated
Tað er tað sum skal sýnast fram í Keypmannahavn undir einum taki.
Regarding whaling matters, it is a full-time task for a minister in union affairs to organize things so that all such matters are properly dealt with.
BLARK_translated
Viðvíkjandi grindamálum, er tað ein fulltime uppgáva fyri ein landstýrismann í samríkjamálum, at skipa soleiðis fyri, at øll slík mál vera arbeitt uppá pláss.
That's the problem. And not that Denmark and the Faroe Islands cooperate.
BLARK_translated
Tað er tað sum er trupulleikin. Og ikki tað, at Danmark og Føroyar samarbeiða.
Vígdis Finnbogadóttir once said in a hearing that was on Danmarks Radio that only when Iceland got sovereignty were they respected abroad and could negotiate with whom they wanted and were also respected as a nation. Before, everything had to go through Denmark.
BLARK_translated
Vígdis Finnbogatóttir segði einaferð í eini hoyring, sum var í Danmarks Radio, at ikki fyrr enn Ísland fekk fullveldi, tástani vóru teir virdir úti í heimi og kundu samráðast við hvønn teir vildu og vóru eisini virdir sum tjóð. Fyrr skuldi alt ganga gjøgnum Danmark.
Now that I mention Vigdís. She was here once and travelled on invitation from the Faroese Home Rule Government, but the Faroese Government had to ask the Danish authorities for permission — is that a dignified position to be in, in one's own country?
BLARK_translated
Nú eg nevni Vígdis. Hon var einaferð her og ferðaðist eftir innbjóðing frá Føroya Landsstýri, men F.L. mátti biða donsku stjórnina um loyvi, er tað virðilig støða at vera í, í sínum egna landi?
In many cases the Danish government sits on both sides of the table when they are negotiating on our behalf abroad, for example in the whaling issue. Is this what union/social democrats want?
BLARK_translated
Í mongum føri situr danska stjórnin báðu megin borðið, tá teir skulu samráðast fyri okkum uttanlanda, t.d. í grindamálinum. Er hetta tað sum sambands/javnaðarmenn ynskja?
Hans, I was just thinking that “bekentir” is so ingrained that this one time could be allowed, because of course it means that we cannot allow ourselves that, or that it is unbecoming. I still think, as before, that we must be careful about our “office”.
BLARK_translated
Hans, eg hugsaði bara, at "bekentir" er so inngrógvið, at tað bara hesa einu ferðina kundi sleppa við, tí eyðvitað eitur tað, at vit kunnu ikki loyva okkum tað, ella at tað er ósømiligt. Eg haldi enn sum áður, at vit skulu vanda okkum um "amboð" okkara
No, we cannot be “acquainted” (wasn’t it “by the way” you who complained about spelling here on the page?:-), that the Danes should pay for us. Of course we must also get away from that!
BLARK_translated
Nei, vit kunnu ikki vera "bekentir" (var tað "forrestin" ikki tú sum gramdi teg um stavseting her á síðuni?:-), at danir skulu gjalda fyri okkum. Tað skulu vit sjálvandi eisini burtur frá!
Yes, Hans Pæturson. You stand on historical ground. But don’t forget that you are not alone. You swim in freedom and breathe fresh air, because others have gone before you and have paved, tended and cultivated the land. This has nothing to do with Danomania. But the situation is disgraceful. You want to be half, but I ...
BLARK_translated
Ja, hans Pæturson. Tú stendur á søguligari grund. Men gloym ikki, at tú ert ikki einsamallur. Tú svimur í frælsi og andar fríska luft, tí her hava verið onnur framman undan tær og slóðað og røkt og dyrkað landið. Hetta hevur einki við danaræðslu at gera. Men støðan er óvirðilig. Tú vilt vera hálvur, men eg vil vera hei...
Now you're making that classic mistake. Mixing nationality and republicanism together in one old-timer mix.
BLARK_translated
Nú gert tú tann klassiska feilin. At blanda tjóðskap og tjóðveldi saman í ein ellubita.
Leaders have given the Faroese school Faroese content, and leaders have likewise given the Faroese home rule system Faroese content.
BLARK_translated
Føringar hava givið føroyska skúlanum føroyskt innihald, og føringar hava somuleiðis givið føroysku heimastýrisskipanini føroyskt innihald.
It has nothing whatsoever to do with an economic system, whether it is called sovereignty, republic, or anything else.
BLARK_translated
Tað hevur onki sum helst við eina búskaparliga skipan, um hon eitur fullveldi, tjóðveldi, ella okkurt triðja at sum helst.
And in the global community, leaders often come to stand very lonely on a big stage.
BLARK_translated
Og í heimssamfelagnum, koma føringar at standa sera einsamallir á stórutá.
Because the plan is in the eyes of all modern leaders, a plan that in no way is sustainable.
BLARK_translated
Tí er ætlanin í eygunum á øllum modernaðum føringum, ein ætlan, sum ikki á nakran hátt er burðardygg.
Fridtjof, did some Dane bully you when you were a little boy? No, Lykketoft hasn’t found any shrimp and isn’t it lovely that there is entrepreneurial spirit in the Faroe Islands. It’s not the young people who run errands, rather it’s you old ones who have such subordinate feelings and Danophobia that half of it would b...

Yes, the landowner fulfills his obligations, because he does not want to lose the farmer. Also read about the boat bond. That picture holds true as well. Otherwise it is like talking to the party members as if to “death’s sausage”. Useless. The party members wander and drift in a desert. Ask yourself: Who gave the Faro...
BLARK_translated
Ja, góðseigarin røkir skyldur, tí hann vil ikki missa bóndan. Les somuleiðis um bátsbandið. Tann myndin heldur eisini. Annars er tað sum "dødens pølse" at tosa við sambandsfólk. Nyttuleyst. Sambandsfólk ganga og dreiva í einari oyðimørk. Spyr teg sjálvan: Hvør hevur givið føroyska skúlanum føroyskt innihald? Hvør hevur...
If we are the tenant/farmer, then the landowner pays us money for some obligations that are to be cared for on these cliffs on behalf of the landowner.
BLARK_translated
Eru vit bóndin, so rindar góðseigarin okkum pening fyri nakara skyldur sum vera røktar fyri góðseigaran á hesum klettum.
And I have not heard of other landowners who pay their farmers.
BLARK_translated
Og eg havi ikki hoyrt um aðrar góðseigarar, sum rinda bóndum sínum.
Fridtjof, yes, the white paper has a long list of areas where we need Danish help in order to "manage" on our own. If the Danes now want payment for what they did, it is not enough just to have a dream; it must also be financed.
BLARK_translated
fridtjof ja, hvítabók hevur ein langan lista yvir øki, har vit hava brúk fyri danskari hjálp fyri at "klára" okkum sjálvi. Um nú danir vilja hava gjald fyri tað teir gerða so er ikki nok bara at hava ein dreym, hann skal eisini fíggjast.
I have tried to bring up examples and asked how they can be solved; there are very few that are a suggestion for how it can be done.
BLARK_translated
Eg havi roynt at tiki dømi fram, og spurt hvussu tey kunnu loysast, tað eru sera fá sum eina hóming um hvussu tað kann gerðast.
Which world do you live in, Kári Olsen, I also said that one would/wouldn’t know how to use the position one is in now.
BLARK_translated
Hvørjari verð livir tú í, Kári Olsen, segði eg ikki eisini at man vildi/dugdi ikki at brúka tað støðu sum man nú einaferð er í.
Otherwise Thøger says the government simply doesn’t know what it wants and is unprepared, and moreover some of the government ministers are downright cheeky and rude. Thøger Seidenfaden does not make a fuss about the Faroese, but perhaps the Faroese are beginning to make a mockery of themselves. Then it is finished.
BLARK_translated
Annars sigur Thøger jú bara landsstýrið veit ikki hvat tað vil og er ófyrireikað og hartil er onkur av landsstýrismonnunum beinleiðis frekur og óhøfligur. Thøger Seidenfaden ger ikki gjøldur burturúr føroyingum, men kanska eru føroyingar við at spotta seg sjálvan. Tá er tað fullgjørt.
They have so diligently prepared for us leaders for shame, who want to be leaders in the Faroe Islands.
BLARK_translated
Teir hava so dyggiliga gjørt okkum føringum fyri skommum, sum vilja vera føringar í føroyum.
Do you think it can be compared to our situation in the kingdom? Don’t you think that we should govern ourselves in all matters that concern only us?
BLARK_translated
Heldur tú at tað kann samanlíknast við okkara støðu í ríkinum? Heldur tú ikki at vit ráða okkum sjálvum í øllum viðurskiftum sum hava við bert okkum at gera?
When a fellow social democrat here on the site wholeheartedly supports the slander of his own countrymen and says that 75% of Faroese people stand behind the insulting views of the aforementioned scout, it says a lot about his party — the Social Democratic Party.
BLARK_translated
Tá ið ein javnaðarmaður her á síðuni dyggiliga tekur undir við útspillingini av sínum egnu landsmonnum og sigur at 75% av føroyingum standa aftan fyri niðrandi sjónarmiðini hjá áðurnevnda speirekara, sigur hetta nógv um hansara flokk - javnaðarflokkin.
The Faroese society is one in which those who have control in financial companies are much more interesting to the ordinary public than your bureaucrats.
BLARK_translated
Føroyska samfelagið er eitt hvør í hevur ræðið í peningasmafeløgum er nógv meira áhugavert fyri vanliga føringin, enn títt evstatvass.
After the first consultation meeting between the Faroese government and the Danish government, Svend Åuken said on television: “The Faroese are completely euphoric because they smell oil in the ground. I find that very charming.” What would Åuken mean by that?
BLARK_translated
Eftir fyrsta samráðingarfundin millum landsstýrið og donsku ríkisstjórnina segði Svend Auken í sjónvarpinum: "Færinger er helt euforiske for de lugter olje i undergrunden. Det synes jeg er meget charmerende." Hvat mundi Auken meina við?
How could, for example, a Danish peasant manage his financial affairs and other matters, as long as the owner ruled over his entire life?
BLARK_translated
Hvussu kundi t.d. ein danskur bóndi fáa skil á sínum fíggjarviðurskiftum og viðurskiftum annars, so leingi góðseigarin ráddi fyri øllum lívi hansara?
You contradict yourself when you say that desire and logic are the same. They are as far from each other as can be. Desire is that you want to solve things at any price. Logic is that we want to have order in the country before we talk about a solution.
BLARK_translated
Tú mótsigur tær sjálvum tá tú sigur at trá og logikkur er tað sama. Tað er tað so langt frá. Trá er at tit vilja loysa fyri ein og hvønn prís. Logikkur er at vit vilja hava skil á landið áðrenn vit tosa um loysing.
That’s only if you think that Faroese people are Danes like all other Danes, that we are equal. But if you think that, you’re as pro-union as the unionists were in the early century when they felt “completely like Danes.” Not even Edmund was that far gone.
BLARK_translated
Tad er bert um tú hugsar, at føroyingar eru danir sum allir adrir danir, at vit eru javnsettir. Men gert tú tad, ert líka sambandskur sum sambandsmenn vóru fyrst í øldini, tá teir kendu seg "fuldstændig som danske". Sjálvt ikki Edmund so so langt úti.
If you think so, that is an insult to that you write in Faroese!
BLARK_translated
Um tú hugsar so, er tad ein andsøgn at tú skrivar á føroyskum!
And the government does not want a solution. The government wants full sovereignty, and an association in which the Faroe Islands are not subordinate but equal partners with Denmark.
BLARK_translated
Og landsstýrid vil ikki hava loysing. Landsstýrid vil hava fullveldi, og ein felagsskap, har Føroyar ikki eru undir- men síduskipadar Danmark.
If you think this is the situation now — why then do you have anything against it also being formalized and confirmed?
BLARK_translated
Um tú heldur at hetta er stødan nú - hví hevur tú so nakad ímóti at hon eisini verdur formalisera og stadfest?
Otherwise it shows so much, through that you do not want full independence, but the pure solution — why don’t you say that, instead of muddying the issue.
BLARK_translated
Annars lýsir tað so nógv ígjøgnum at titi vilja ikki fullveldi, men tað reinu loysing, hví siga tit so ikki tað, ístaðin fyri at grugga málið.
Demos, could it be that the Danes also translate the documents so that Faroese people don't have to have interpreters? I only heard in ÚF that the Prime Minister had made an agreement with Russia. How about the trade dispute between the Faroe Islands and the UK, isn't it a textbook example of good cooperation between t...
BLARK_translated
Demos, kan tað hugsast at danir eisini umseta skjølini, so føroyingar sleppa frá at hava tulkar? Eg hoyrdi bert í ÚF at Løgmaður hevði gjørt semju við Russland. Hvussu við marknaðartrætuni millim FØ og UK, er hon ikki eitt skúladømi um gott samstarv millum FØ og DK.
That the Faroese do not fight for independence with sweat, tears and blood is due to the country being divided into two equally large groups, each with its own wish for the country's future status. The question, then, is whether the situation should rather be compared to Northern Ireland instead of the countries you me...
BLARK_translated
At føroyingar ikki berjast fyri fullveldi við sveitta, tárum og blóði kemst av at landið er deilt í 2 líka stórar bólkar við hvør sínum ynski um framtíðarstøðuna hjá landinum. Spurningurin er tí um støðan heldur skal samanberðast við norður Írland ístaðin fyri tey londini sum tú nevnir.
Otherwise, a condition for legitimacy is that a large portion of the questions posed on this site receive a good suggestion for a solution, and the answer "that will probably do" cannot be used.
BLARK_translated
Annars er ein treyt fyri fullveldi at ein stórur partur av teimum spurningunum sum eru settir her á síðuni fáa eitt gott boð uppá eina loysn, og svari "tað gongur nok" kann ikki brúkast.

Um tú annars saknar argumentir frá mínari síðu so sig endiliga frá, so skulu tey koma.
The first example of what Faroese legal security would look like if a solution had become reality under the leadership of this government has now emerged.

Make sure that the coming Faroese judicial system is impartial and objective.
BLARK_translated
Sig so at tann komandi føroyska rættarskipanin ikki verður habil, og objektiv.
I don't think everyone wants to make freedom-loving Faroese people a laughingstock. What some (the practical ones) are calling for is: More concrete plans for how we will increase revenues and reduce the country's expenditures BEFORE we start thinking about loosening [things].
BLARK_translated
Eg haldi ikki at øll vilja láturliggera frælsisynski føroyinga. Tað, summi (tey praktisku) eftirlýsa er: Meiri ítøkiligar ætlanir fyri hvussu vit økja um inntøkurnar og minka um útreiðslurnar hjá landinum ÁÐRENN vit fara at hugsa um at loysa.
Your problem is that you don't understand what true freedom is.
BLARK_translated
Tín trupulleiki er, at tú ikki skilir hvat í veruligt frælsi er.
I also think it's outrageous to ridicule Faroese desires for freedom. What would we have said if someone had gone and made a mockery of the freedom aspirations of their black people in South Africa, the Kosovo Albanians, or anyone else. It's strange that there should be an entire movement in the Faroes trying to belitt...

The Danes wanted to have us in a nation within their home domain — so they put the home-domain law (heimabeitislógin) in place — together with union and commonwealth men from Little Denmark.

You don’t have to call it anything: “I think personally.” Either you believe that or you don’t. It’s also wordplay when youth in Spice Girls Boogie Woogie shoes say: “Do you mean that?” When they mean: “Believe it.”

Tú navnin einki eitur:" eg haldi persónlig.a" Antin heldur tú tað ella heldur tú tað ikki. Málspilla er tað eisini, tá ið ungdómur í Spice Girls Boogie Woogie skóm sigur:"Meinar tú tað". Tá ið tey meina:"Halda tygum tað."

I think that you should gradually try to find another definition of what freedom means, so that the Faroe Islands do not end up as a truly unfree nation after a settlement that a MAJORITY of just over 25% stands behind.

BLARK_translated
Halda vit fram við at fáa pening úr Danmark fyri einki kollsiglir hetta samfelagið rættuliga skjótt - hetta vita øll.
But the existence of some politicians depends on things going badly in the Faroe Islands. They know that as long as the flow of money from Denmark continues, living conditions in the Faroe Islands will worsen: businesses will stagnate and unemployment will grow. Then their political existence is secured!
BLARK_translated
Men tilveran hjá summum politikkarum er treytað av, at tað skal ganga illa í Føroyum. Teir vita, at heldur peningastreymurin úr Danmark fram, fara lívsumstøðurnar í Føroyum at versna: vinnulívið kødnar og vinnuloysið fer at vaksa. Tá er teirra politiski tilverurættur tryggjaður!

Okay — if you feel like a Dane, and have the perception that the Faroe Islands are an integrated part of Denmark just like Roskilde and Stubbekøbing, then it's clear: then we have sovereignty — like the Danes!

Ókey - um tú kennir teg sum dana, og hevur ta fatan, at Føroyar eru ein integreradur partur av Danmark líkasum Roskilde og Stubbekøbing, so er tad klárt: so hava vit fullveldi - sum danir!
But there are some of us who think that the Faroese nation is a distinct nation. Own language, own culture, own history, own society, own country.

Men vit eru summi sum hugsa, at føroyska tjódin er ein serstøk tjód. Egid mál, egna mentan egna søgu, egid samfelag, egid land.
It is not hatred of Danes to say this. The Danes also would not have liked it if sovereignty over Denmark lay in Germany. — Unless they considered themselves Germans.

When the Faroe Islands gain full independence everything will be so good. Leaders will stand together as one. We will show responsibility. No one will talk about union and separation. That is just positive. Politicians will cooperate to give citizens the best possible conditions. Everyone will be happy. Why not?
BLARK_translated
Tá Føroyar fáa fullveldi tá verður alt so gott. Føringar fara at standa saman sum ein maður. Vit fara at vísa ábyrgd. Eingin fer at tosa um samband & loysing. Bara tað er positivt. Politikarar fara at samstarvast um fáa borgaranum so góðar umstøður sum tilberð. Øll vera glað. Hví ikki?
Sovereignty: The exclusive right to wield legislative power, executive power and judicial power in a regime, and the exclusive right to represent the regime internationally.
BLARK_translated
Fullveldi: Einkarættur at skipa lóggevandi vald, útinnandi vald og dømandi vald í einum umveldi, og einkarrættur at umboda umveldid í altjóda høpi.
That is sovereignty. And the sovereignty of the Faroe Islands belongs to the Danish state authority.
BLARK_translated
Tad er fullveldi. Og fullveldi Føroya er hjá danska ríkisvaldinum.
No country in the world has sovereignty according to this dictionary definition. Or everyone. It depends on the interpretation of full authority.
BLARK_translated
Einki land í heiminum hevur fullveldi eftir hasi definitiónini hjá orðabókini. Ella øll. Tað veldst um tulking av fult ræði.
What kinds of agreements can an independent Faroe Islands make that we cannot make today?
BLARK_translated
Hvørjar avtalur kann fullveldi Føroyar gerða sum vit ikki kunnu ídag?
Now that you have made the effort with the mother-tongue dictionary, I can do nothing but see that one has full command of one’s affairs. Also Demos, sovereignty is here.
BLARK_translated
Nú tú hevur ómakað tær eftir móðurmálsorðabókini, so dugi eg ikki annað enn at síggja at man hevur fult ræði á viðurskiftum sínum. Also Demos, fullveldi er her.
Full sovereignty — to have full control over one's affairs, supreme authority, autonomy, political sovereignty; Iceland gained sovereignty in 1918 [Danish: suverænitet]
BLARK_translated
Fullveldi - tað at hava fult ræði á viðurskiftum sínum, fullræði, sjálvræði, politiskt fullveldi; Ísland fekk fullveldi í 1918 [da. suverænitet]"
Also, Hans - we do not have sovereignty in the Faroe Islands. You may think that we have enough self-determination, but that is not the same as having sovereignty. Sincerely, Demos.
BLARK_translated
Also, Hans - vit hava ikki fullveldi í Føroyum. Tað kann vera, tú heldur at vit hava nóg mikið av sjálvsavgerarrætti, men tað er ikki tað sama sum at vit hava fullveldi. Vinarliga, Demos.
Seriously, when I’m asked about the fishing agreements. And tell me this, when was any Roskilde resident asked? Mr. Kári Olsen, you show that you have Danophobia. "The Danes are buying the Faroe Islands' sovereignty." What nonsense is that, we are all part of the community and money flows both ways. You Danophobes are ...
BLARK_translated
Álvaratos, nær eri eg spurdur um fiskiveiðuavtalurnar. Og sig mær eitt, nær er nakar Roskildeíbúgvið spurdur. Harra Kári Olsen, tú vísir at tú hevur Danofobi. "Danir keypa fullveldi Føroya" Hvat er hetta fyri roks, vit eru øll við í felagsskapinum og so renna pengar báðar vegir. Tit Danofobar hava ilt í reyvina av at p...
We are some who are mature, pay for it and take responsibility, both for ourselves and for society.
BLARK_translated
Vit eru nøkur sum eru myndug, rinda fyri tað og taka ábyrgd, bæði av okkum sjálvum, men eisini av samfelagnum.
"We have sovereignty today," writes Hans Pæturson. Seriously — how far out can one end up?
BLARK_translated
Vit hava í dag fullveldi", skrivar Hans Pæturson. Álvaratos - hvussu langt úti kann man enda?
When was Mr. Pæturson asked for his opinion about any defense-political matter? Or a foreign-policy matter? Does the man know what sovereignty means?
BLARK_translated
Nær er harra Pæturson spurdur um sína meining um nakad verjupoliskt mál? Ella uttanríkispolitiskt mál? Veit madurin hvat fullveldi merkir?
The situation is that the Danish state each year buys the sovereignty of the Faroe Islands for 1.3 billion.
BLARK_translated
Stødan er, at danski staturin hvørt ár keypir fullveldi Føroya fyri 1,3 milliard.
Some want to become adults and pay for it. Others want to remain minors — and receive money in return.
BLARK_translated
Nøkur vilja gerast myndug og rinda fyri tad. Onnur vilja vera verandi ómyndug - og fáa pengar afturfyri.
Many like so much to go back into history. When the Maritime Bank went belly-up the first time (who saved it) there was no bloc.
BLARK_translated
Nógv dáma so væl at fara aftur í søguna. Tá Sjóvinnubankin fór á heysin fyrstu ferð (hvør bjargaði) tá var ongin blokkur
Thanks Benny for putting interpretations in my mouth that have nothing to do with reality. Who took responsibility for the lack of fisheries and the senseless subsidy policy? No, not the Danes, but us. Tax increases, forced savings, unemployment and emigration. MVG also came and on top of that a bunch of fees.
BLARK_translated
Takk Benny at tú leggir mær tulkingar í munn sum onki hava við veruleikan at gera. Hvør tók ábyrgdina av fiskaloysi og vitleysum studningspolitikki. Nei, ikki danir, men vit. Skattahækkingar, tvungin uppsparing, arbeiðsloysi og fólkafráflyting. MVG kom eisini og hartil ein rúgva av avgjøldum.
That it turned out to be most important to lower taxes on cars and now also on petrol, well that is another story. Today we have sovereignty. That some people suffer from Danophobia, well that must not destroy society.
BLARK_translated
At tað so vísti seg at verða allermest týdningarmikið at lækka avgjøld á bilum og nú eisini bensini, ja tað er ein onnur søga. Vit hava í dag fullveldi. At nøkur so líða av Danofobi, tað skal sgu ikki oyðileggja samfelagið.
What you mean is that we have acted without responsibility. You can thank the system for that. Freedom is not being allowed to vote in parliament. Freedom is taking responsibility.
BLARK_translated
Tað tú meinar við er at vit hava handla uttan ábyrd. Tað kanst tú takka skipani fyri. Frælsi er ikki at sleppa at atkvøða á fólkatingi. Frælsi er at taka ábyrd.
Nobody should walk on the lawn. They don’t allow foreigners because we’re shy.
BLARK_translated
Vid pijøvast ittkji ad genga ui skyuvla. Tea reagar ittkji yutlendingar kvussi vit steava.
Now life has returned to an old lie, that Faroese people get free medical treatment in Denmark. Unfortunate how short people’s memories are. About half a year ago Helena explained what this costs. It was not insignificant.
BLARK_translated
Nú kom aftur lív í eina gamla lygn, at føroyingar fáa ókeyipis sjúkraviðgerð í Danmrk. Ólukksáligt, sum fólk minnast stutt. Fyri hálvum ári ella so greiddi Helena frá, hvat hetta kostar. Tað var ikki smávegis.
It also surprises me that people from the south drive around in 2.0 engines; the road network is just as big as out there in Argir.
BLARK_translated
Tað undrar meg eisini at suðringar koyra runt í 2.0 motori, vegakervið er líka stórt sum tað úti á Argjum.
Benny, there is nothing wrong with wanting freedom, but it must be more than a façade where there is nothing behind it.
BLARK_translated
Benny onki er skeivt við at ynskja frælsi, men tað skal vera meira enn ein fasada, har onki er aftanfyri.
When you want to rule your own country, you must also have made some thoughts about how the country's revenues should be used so that the bright future will come. Please explain to us.
BLARK_translated
Tá tú vil ráða í egnum landi, so mást tú einini hava gjørt tær nakrar tankar um hvussu landsins inntøkur skulu brúkast, so tann bjarta framtíðin kemur. Vinarliga greið okkum frá
Isn’t the situation exactly that no one is freer than the Faroese. Here in the country it is the Faroese who are in charge and the Faroese even have 2 votes in the Danish Parliament. So there is no problem, Benny, because it is we ourselves who secure a bright future for us. The Faroe Islands already have full sovereig...
BLARK_translated
Er støðan ikki júst tann at ongin er meira frælsur enn føroyingar. Her á landið er tað føroyingar sum ráða og enntá hava føroyingar 2 atkvøður á Fólkatingið. So tað er ongin trupuleiki Benny, tí tað eru vit sjálvið sum tryggja okkum eina bjarta framtíð. Føroyar hevur longu sum er fullveldið.
In any case I am ashamed of those forces that do not want to govern in our own country. It may well be that it will cost sweat and tears. The question of sovereignty has nothing to do with whether one likes Danes or not — Danes are some of the finest people. The problem is convincing the irresponsible and fearful leade...
BLARK_translated
Eg havi í øllum førum skomm av teimun kreftum sum ikki vilja ráða í egnum landi. Tað kann gott vera at tað kemur at kosta sveitta og tár. Spurningurin um fullveldi hevur einki at gera við um man dámar danskarar ella ikki, danskarar eru av fittastu fólkum. Trupuleikin er at sannføra teir ábyrdaleysu & óttafullu føringar...
Yes, that is exactly the debate — not just here, but in society — that it ought to be about. How do we increase our exports. How do we get more legs to stand on. How do we reduce administrative expenses. How do we create a society that can manage without subsidies.
BLARK_translated
Ja, tað er júst tað kjakið - ikki bara her, men í samfelagnum - átti at snúð seg um. Hvussu økja vit okkara útflutning. Hvussu fáa vit fleiri bein at standa á. Hvussu minka vit um útreiðslurnar í umsitingini. Hvussu fáa vit eitt samfelag ið kann klára seg uttan stuðul.
But these are just small "details" that drown in a flood of incomprehensible feelings of guilt toward the Danes. Come on! It's not true that the Danes want the worst for us. Those who say that are just blinded by complexes and unrealistic, romantic dreams of "freedom."
BLARK_translated
Men hetta eru bert smáar "detaljur" sum drukna í einum meldri av ófatiligum minnilutakenslum mótvegis dønum. Come on! Tað passar ikki at danir vilja okkum tað ringasta. Tey ið siga tað eru bert blindaði av kompleksum og órealistiskum, romantiskum dreymum um "frælsi".
What is it then? Is it that we can get ourselves evicted from our homes — then we have no other obligation at all!
BLARK_translated
Hvat er so tað? Er tað, at vit sjálvi kunnu koyra okkum á húsagang - so hava vit ongan annan skylda uppá!
The point is that we ourselves can decide who rules the country - yes, we can choose for neo-Nazis to rule. Look at what happened in Austria. You never have more freedom than the outside world allows you.
BLARK_translated
Ella er tað, at vit sjálvi kunnu avgera hvør ræður í landinum - ja vit kunnu velja at nýnasistar skulu ráða. Hygg hvussu tað gekk Eysturríki. Tú hevur ongantíð meira frælsi enn umheimurin loyvir tær.
