About Seerup, regarding nepotism, Nyrup and Lykketoft have been married to the same woman and Mrs. Lykketoft; she was a minister for the district in Ishøj. Architecturally she is a copied German fire station.
BLARK_translated
Tú Seerup apropos nepotismu, Nyrup og Lykketoft hava verið giftir somu frillu og frú Lykketoft, hon var ministari hjá ørkini í Ishøj. Arkitektoniskt er hon ein kopierað týsk brandstøð.
No, Morten Korch had turned himself into the hole. Danish justice is that Thorsen is acquitted because of a procedural error, while Trads, Kleinfisch goes to prison.
BLARK_translated
Nei, Morten Korch hevði vent sær í holuni. danskt rættvísi er at Thorsen sleppur fríur, vegna rættargongufeil, meðan Trads, kleinfisch fer í geglið.
Even if both turned for less than any package of care.
BLARK_translated
Sjálvt um báðir snýttu fyri minni enn nakar skipapakki. Believe me, there is a lot more than rotten apples in the State of Denmark.
And very typical of a Danish jurist to call himself Moltke, for he probably does not know that there was also a Moltke on the Germans' side in 1864.
BLARK_translated
Og meget typisk af en dansk jurist at kalde sig Moltke, for han ved næppe at der også var en Moltke på tyskernes side i 1864.
Do not let it be heard elsewhere that there are so few well-bred men here.
BLARK_translated
Lat tað ikki frættast aðrastaðni, at her finnast so lítið mergjaðir menn.
There is only one thing for the government to do: either give up or bring the Social Democratic Party in and follow their sensible proposal.
BLARK_translated
Tað er bara eitt hjá landsstýrinum at gera, tað er antin at gevast ella fáa javnaðarflokkin uppí og fylgja teirra skilagóða uppskoti.
That is an empty claim. Otherwise, these events you mention are more reminiscent of those involving your party colleagues.
BLARK_translated
Hatta er ein tómur pástandur. Annars minna hasi stevini tú nevnir meira um tey hjá tínum floksfeløgum.
Høgni Hoydal was again caught in a more serious lie tonight.
BLARK_translated
Høgni Hoydal bleiv aftur fangaður í einari grvari lygn íkvøld.
He claimed that the Danes do not want to pay us the block grant in the future.
BLARK_translated
Hann pástendur, at danir ikki vilja rinda okkum blokk framyvir.
Of course they do. As long as they have any obligations in the Faroe Islands. They have never said anything else.
BLARK_translated
Sjálvandi gera teir tað. Soleingi sum teir hava nakrar skyldur í Føroyum.Teir hava ongantíð sagt nakað annað.
The Prime Minister is trying to hang a signature from 1998 on the clothesline, in an attempt to justify his demands about the division of time.
BLARK_translated
Løgmaður roynir at roynir at hanga eina undirskrift frá 98 út á snóratræið, í einari roynd at rættvísisgera síni krøv um skiftistíð.
You must have misunderstood something. The Danes are not refusing us a solution.
BLARK_translated
Tú mást hava misskilt eitthvørt. Danir nokta okkum ikki loysing.
The problem is that the Faroese are kneeling down in the Prime Minister's Office asking for money, while at the same time they are asking Danes and Greenlanders to kiss their behinds.
BLARK_translated
Trupulleikin snýr seg um, at Føringar liggja á knæ niðri í forsætismálaráðnum og bidda um pening, samstundis sum teir biðja danir og Grønleindingar kissa seg.
the government [shows] by this attitude [ ], that it is prepared to respect the agreement it entered into with the country’s government on 10 June 1998 concerning the negotiations on Faroese sovereignty.
BLARK_translated
regeringen [viser] med denne holdning [ ], at den er indstillet på at respektere den aftale, den indgik med landsstyret den 10. juni 1998 om forhandlingerne om færøsk suverænitet.
These are the prime minister’s words, among other things, in a press release after the meeting in Copenhagen. But this is not insignificant, considering how little progress the negotiations have made so far.
BLARK_translated
Hetta eru orð løgmans m.a. í tíðindaskrivi eftir fundin í Keypmannahavn. Men hetta er ikki so lítið, tá ið vit hugsa um, hvussu stutt samráðingarnar enn eru komnar.
Of course the financial question will be resolved one way or another during the upcoming negotiations — but today I know as little about that as Karl Joensen and everyone else. The government has proven that the task has grown beyond it — and I thank the Lord every day that he did not put an Edmund Joensen or an Ejdega...

Yes, overall, this is the first time that racketeering has been directly conducted at the diplomatic level.
BLARK_translated
Ja, samanumtikið, er tað fyrstu ferð, at man beinleiðis hevur ført rukkulív á diplomatiskum stigi.
Goodbye happens when one does not want to listen to public opinion, but wants to rush something through, preferably to end up as a personal hero-idiot.
BLARK_translated
Spleiðis gongur tá man ikki vil lurta eftir fólkaopiniónini, men vil skunda okkurt ígjøgnum, helst fyri at enda sum persónlig hetja-idioti
I have always known that the solutionists are swayed by emotions and material thinking (the negotiations with the Danes speak clearly enough), but that they were as smitten with the armchair itself as with the lady in the armchair— that I did not expect.
BLARK_translated
Havi altíð vita, at loysingarmenn eru yvirtiknir av kenslum og materiellari hugsan (samráðingarnar við danir tala sítt týðiliga mál), men at teir vóru líka forelskaðir uppí lenistólinum, sum í damuni í lenistólinum, tað vardi meg ikki.
Yes, well, which municipality is cheap, but in total far too much is paid. The small municipalities have no chance to serve their citizens as well as the large ones. Thus the current solution is both poor and expensive and it only keeps the aforementioned village clan alive.
BLARK_translated
Jan, ja, hvør kommuna er bílig, men tilsamans verður goldið alt ov nógv. Tær smáu kommunurnar hava ongan møguleika at tæna sínum borgarum líka so væl sum tær stóru. Sostatt er núverandi loysn bæði vánalig og dýr og hon tændir bara fyrrnevnda bygdaklandri.
It is a downright undemocratic attitude to say that "if you do not vote as the ruler wants, then there will be no referendum."
BLARK_translated
Tað er beinleiðis ódemokratiskur hugburður at siga, at " um tit ikki atkvøða sum valdsharrin vil, ja so verður ongin fólkaatkvøða."
For me it is a matter of principle. Regardless of what is being voted on.
BLARK_translated
Tað er fyri meg ein prinsipiellur spurningur.Óansæð hvat atkvøtt verður um.
It brings nothing with it, other than a larger administration from merging municipalities. Look at how the Sandoyar secondary school lies in the middle. As it is now, the municipal councils are blamed, or if a merger becomes a reality, people will just blame internally. In any case, it is incredibly cheap to run most o...

The sovereignty plan has held so far. The process continues. The next meeting will be on June 15 and the referendum will be in the autumn.
BLARK_translated
Fullveldisætlanin hevur hildið higartil. Gongdin heldur áfram. Næsti fundur verður 15. juni og fólkaatkvøðan verður í heyst.
Now they are behaving like prickly pigs. Take now the solution like men, if you really mean that the union is so hopeless.
BLARK_translated
Nú nýsta teir sum stungnir grísar.Takið nú loysing sum menn, um tit veruliga meina, at ríkisfelagsskapurin er so vánaligur.
Everything will be so easy, and so fair, and so uniquely Faroese, and no crisis will ever come again, if the Faroe Islands secede from Denmark.
BLARK_translated
Alt verður so lætt, og so rættvíst, og so serføroyskt, og ongin kreppa kemur nakrantíð aftur, um Føroyar loysa frá Danmark.
What's the matter. Now present a proposal for the people of the Faroe Islands. But the answer may already be known in advance, so the side that has "the right opinion" wins.
BLARK_translated
Hvat bagir. Leggið nú eitt uppskot fyri Føroya fólk.Men svarið skal kanska fyriliggja frammanundan, so tann parturin sum hevur "ta røttu meiningina" vinnur.
Municipal mergers are not the solution if one wants to abolish rural areas. (they cannot be abolished, and they shouldn't be, because they are so charming).
BLARK_translated
Kommunusamanleggingar er ikki loysnin um ein vil avtaka bygdaklandur. (tað kann ikki avtakast, og skal tað heldur ikki, tí tað er so charming).
In Denmark the situation is exactly the same: if one region gets A, then another region gets B. It’s just not so obvious. For example the Great Belt connection which went through because motorways were built in northern Jutland. TV2 got through because of a Faroese vote — what did he get in return?
BLARK_translated
Í Danmark er støðan júst tann sama, at um ein landspartur fær A, so fær ein annar partur B. Tað er bara ikki so týðiligt. Eitt nú Stórabeltsambandið sum kom ígjøgnum tí at motorvegir blivu bygdir í norðurjyllandi. TV2 kom ígjøgnum orsakað av einari føroyskari atkvøðu, hvat fekk hann afturfyri.
And how is the situation in other countries then?
BLARK_translated
Og hvussu heldur ein so støðan er í øðrum londum.
It is welcome that the Danish government has now finally begun realistic negotiations with the Faroese Government. As things look now, the journey toward independence is progressing faster than the coalition had intended. These are joyful news and a major challenge for the Faroese nation.
BLARK_translated
Tað er at fegnast um, at danska ríkisstjórnin nú endiliga er farin undir realitetssamráðingar við Føroya Landsstýri. Sum útlitini eru nú, fer ferðin fram móti lýðveldinum at ganga skjótari enn samgongan hevur ætlað. Hetta eru gleðilig tíðindi og stór avbjóðing fyri føroysku tjóðina.
1. Three conditions for full sovereignty are met. Our youth are able to study in Denmark, and therefore it is possible to build up a society at a reasonable level. The Danes cover the cost of 55,000 for each one. “S.U.”—if we are to provide that ourselves, should we use the Icelandic model of lending money, or the Dani...

They will receive Nordic status in our society, like the other Nordic countries.

But Denmark surrendered the cormorant in 1940. Professor Debes once said that perhaps they will also find a cosmic connection.
BLARK_translated
Men Danmark gav altso skarvin yvir í 1940. Professor Debes segði einaferð at kanska finna teir eisini eitt kosmiskt samband.

The most terrible Sortudíkis agitator is this Helgi Jacobsen, who can neither speak Danish nor Norwegian. “Denne her aftale,” “disse visse” — that is not Danish.

With the following military-mindedness the radio and the newspapers always say “their” (baby language) instead of his or hers. Directly translated from Danish, amateurs. For example, the radio once said: “This man ran into a mine in his car.” It was not his car at all, but a military vehicle. There are many such things...

People from Klaksvík speak using the infinitive: “I was out on Argir and visited Sveipir.” That doesn’t happen in Tórshavn or out in Nólsoy. The village people are obsessed with the parade and the hot dog stand, and the youth of the village mostly live for the hot dog stand.
BLARK_translated
Klaksvíkingar tosa í infinitivi:"Eg var úti á Argir og vitjaði Sveipir". Slíkt kemur ikki fyri í Havn ella úti í Nólsoy. Bygdafólkið er forstýrað av paraboli og pylsuvognum og ungdómurin av bygd livir fyri tað mesta í pylsuvognum.
In the beginning it was 'ordet' and not 'in the beginning it was'. Quite right, Páll. 'At byrja við' or 'í byrjanini' is a Danishism that the broadcaster has adopted in the same way that Dimmalætting and Sosialurin adopted the Danishism 'hesin' where the Danes say 'denne'. For example: 'Den nye bil kom ud på broen før ...

Andras Samuelsen said a historically phrased sentence with a joke in it: "In the Faroe Islands, Faroese people shall rule and not Danish socialists."
BLARK_translated
Andras Samuelsen segði ein søguliga setning við fynd í: "Í Føroyum skulu føroyingar ráða og ikki danskir sosialistar".
But that was before Faroese social democrats started saying "there is no secret" in every speech and every article. There is no mystery!

Men tað var áðrenn føroyskir javnaðarmenn fóru at siga "tað er eingin loyna" í hvørjari røðu og hvørjari grein. Tað er einki dulsmál!
The government is responsible for subsidies and horse fodder. I also think the defense force should have horses grazing in Marknagil.

P.S. To doubt Jóannes Eidesgaard’s language skills — yes, that is revealing in itself — linguistically, both in speech and writing no one in the parliament comes close to him, and this also applies to Høgni Hoydal’s “artificial” academic-harbor language.

Otherwise I hope everyone will be like Høgni (last mentioned as "the problem-hugger"): We should consult with each other and not hit each other on the head.

The Danes said from the first day. If you want a solution — be my guest. If you want a Nordic treaty (on equal terms with Norway, Sweden) — be my guest.
BLARK_translated
Danir søgdu frá fyrsta degi. Vilja tit loysing - gerð so væl. Vilja tit ein norðurlendskan sáttmála (á jøvnum føti við Noreg, Svøríki ) - gerið so væl.
It’s becoming clearer and clearer. These are pseudo-discussions about nothing. Either we accept independence, or we remain in the statehood/union. Everything in between is nonsense. And 75% want the statehood/union.
BLARK_translated
Tað gerst greiðari og greiðari. Hetta eru Pseudosamráðingar um onki. Antin taka vit loysing, ella vera vit í ríkisfelagsskapi. Alt inn ímillum er nakað fjas. Og 75% vilja ríkisfelagsskap.

How long must we Faroese lie under foreign rule? When will we rise up and scrape off the Danish yoke? If not by peaceful means, then by force?
BLARK_translated
Hvussu leingi skulu vit føroyingar liggja undir fremmandum valdi? Nær reisast vit og skræða av okkum danaokið? Um ikki við góðum so við illum?
Low, you ride as usual. But okay; you have a small point there. Yes, I will run for office when it happens since I am in the process of moving home.

Jú. at mítt land gerst frítt og at vit kunnu samstarva á jøvnum fóti við m.a DK.
The helplessness continues. In the editorial the journalists at Sosialurin write like ignoramuses from Copenhagen: "The small matters must be addressed" (addressed with ð)

Fridtjof understands very well what you meant. That someone is not very good at spelling does not necessarily mean that they are incontinent, you know.

Is it a new spelling rule that "hetta" and "samanbera" have ð? (hettað and samanberað)?

The grammatical commentators on Olivantsíðan wrote "áðrenn juni mánaði er farin". They should have written "áðrenn juni mánaður er farin."

Jørgen, one can also ask: if a sovereignty depends on Danish goodwill, does that mean such a power has its basis for existence in order? That the Danes do not want to let us go must not be because they are so good to us and do not want to let us go up the mountain. :-)
BLARK_translated
Jørgen, ein kan eisini spyrja, um eitt fullveldi er treyta av danskari vælvild, hevur so hettað veldi so sítt eksistensgrunlag í lagi. At danir ikki vilja sleppa okkum, má tað ikki verða tí at teir eru so góðir við okkum, og ikki vilja sleppa okkum uppá fjall.:-)
I just wanted to know if anyone had been awakened. Of course we should cooperate with our neighboring countries as we did today, but what that cooperation should consist of is the question — and what do we want to receive and give?
BLARK_translated
Eg vildi bara vita um nakar var vakin. Sjálvandi skulu vit samstarva við grannalond okkara eins og vit gerða í dag, men hvat skal hettað samstarvi ganga út uppá, tað er spurningurin og hvat vilja vit hava og geva?
2000 - 1919 = 81 years. Many changes have happened in these last 81 years, so one cannot compare society then and now. Otherwise, I have not heard any Danish politician say that the Faroe Islands cannot secede from Denmark.
BLARK_translated
2000 - 1919 = 81 ár. Tað eru hendar nógvar broytingar tey seinastu 81 árini, so ein kann ikki samanberða samfelagið tá og í dag. Eg havi annars ikki hoyrt nakran danskan polittikara sagt at Føroyar ikki kan loysa frá Danmark.
Why should we travel halfway across the globe with an emergency patient? Why not try cooperation with our nearest neighboring countries — Norway, Iceland or Scotland?

Hví skulu vit fara um hálvan knøttin við einum akut-sjúklingi? Hví ikki roynt samstarv við næstu grannalond okkara - Noreg, Ísland ella Skotland?

BLARK_translated
Nú byrjar Hanus aftur uppá Ísland. Hevur hann longu gloymt, hvussu Manne setti hann uppá pláss seinast?
It occurred to me that the Danes have one trump card left. When they are to administer various areas of language/policy for the Faroe Islands, according to Faroese conditions, they can set counter-demands that make “the distribution” impossible to swallow for Faroese society. What then?
BLARK_translated
Tað rann mær í huga, at danir hava ein trumf eftir. Tá teir skulu umsita ymisk málsøki fyri Føroyar, eftir føroyskum treytum, so kunnu teir seta mótkrøv, sum gerð "útdeligerðigina" ógjørliga at slúka fyri tað føroyska samfelagið. Hvat so?
This is an incredibly helpless article that Bergur Dam has written. He began as a communist revolutionary and has now become a right-leaning social democrat. Sic transit gloria mundi.

Your noisy, pointlessly persistent drone on this page reminds me most of the buzzing of a fly: you join in on something interesting and then there’s a fly that keeps on flying round and round, in and out all the time with the same irritating buzz.

I remember well how Erlendur Patursson was described both similarly and differently by the unionists. The Black Book tells us that behind the stage curtain the embellishments and lies about Erlendur were completely boundless. The same happened once to farmer Jóannes.
BLARK_translated
Eg minnist væl hvussu Erlendur Patursson var skírdur bæði líkt og ólíkt av sambandsmonnunum. Svarta Bók sigur okkum at aftan leiktjald var orðayvirgandurin og lygnirnar um Erlend heilt markleysar. Sama hendi Jóannes bónda á sinni.
But which politicians chose Faroese people as the greatest, most important in past centuries? Well, precisely those two father and son.

That the Faroe Islands will gain full sovereignty is, to me, beyond doubt. The question is: when.
BLARK_translated
At føroyar fara at fáa fullveldi er fyri meg eingin ivi um. Spurningurin er: nær.
I think it is so unnecessarily sad and bitter to imagine that we will not achieve a decent result now and therefore will not get anywhere this time and for the next few years have to live with this in Faroese politics. The opposition bears a great responsibility for that.
BLARK_translated
Eg haldi at tað er so óneyðuga trist og beiskt at hugsa sær at vit ikki fara at fáa eitt verdugt úrslit nú og tískil ikki koma nakran veg á hesum sinni og so tey næstu árini at liva við hesum í føroyskum politikki. Har hevur andsstøðan eina stóra ábyrgd.
Otherwise I like reading the posts about how we should organize the country in the future. It becomes immediately noticeable that there is a much greater realism and sense of responsibility as soon as people begin to talk about a future where Faroese people themselves bear the responsibility. That is the right path.

Annars dámar mær væl at lesa innleggini um hvussu vit skulu skipa landið framyvir. Tað merkist beinanvegin ein nógv størri realisma og ábyrgdarkensla so skjótt fólk byrja at tosa um eina framtíð har føroyingar sjálvir hava ábyrgdina. Tað er rætta leiðin.
One can say whatever one wants about the people who want a relationship or a divorce, but let us talk about the matter and not the people behind it.

Ein kann meina hvat man vil um persónarnar sum vilja samband ella loysing, men lat okkum for f tosa um sakina og ikki mennirnar aftanfyri.
One of the conservative new-catch social democrats of the Social Democratic Party, Bergur P. Dam, calls the Faroese reactionary writing a PROVOCATION.
BLARK_translated
Ein av konservatisu nýoddamonnum Javnaðarfloksins, Bergur P. Dam, kallar ræsvísiskrøv føroyinga fyri PROVOKASJÓN.
This—that the Faroese are asking for negotiations about autonomy for the Faroe Islands—is a provocation!
BLARK_translated
Hetta, at føroyingar biða um samráðingar um sjálvstýri fyri Føroyaland er provokasjón!
I.e., that the majority of the member countries in the UN are provocateurs: The countries are so bold that they have taken self-rule. Too bad for Bergur Dam and others that imperialism is on the decline!
BLARK_translated
T.v.s., at meirturin av limalondunum í ST eru provokatørar: Londini eru so frek, at tey hava tikið sjálvsstýri. Synd fyri Berg Dam o.o., at imperialisman stendur á fallandi fóti!
Høgni Hoydal goes down in history as the biggest demagogue the Faroe Islands have had.
BLARK_translated
Høgni Hoydal fer í søguna, sum størsti demagogur Føroyar hava átt.
On the radio at midday, he said that he needed to find out whether the Danish star now intended to "cut all ties" with the Faroe Islands.
BLARK_translated
I útvarpinum á Miðdegi, segði hann, at hann mátti fáa at vita, um danska stjørnin nú ætlaði at "kvetta øll bond" við Føroyar.
Páll, do you remember one of the demands from that Danish star back then? They (why them, and not us?) demanded that the municipalities in the Faroe Islands be merged into larger units. Why do we still have so many municipalities? There should be at most 9 municipalities, preferably fewer. Why don’t we break with the o...
BLARK_translated
Páll, minnist tú eitt av krøvunum frá tí donsku stjørnuni á sinni. Teir (hví teir, og ikki vit?) kravdu at kommunurnar í Føroyum blivu lagdar saman í størri eindir. Hvi hava vit framvegis so nógvar kommunur. Tað skulu í mesta lagi verða 9 kommunur, helst færri. Hví bróta vit ikki uppúr nýggjum og hugsa um heildina ísta...
Your welfare is, like everything else, a question of implementation. In 1992 we got what we deserved. The crooks are still running loose.
BLARK_translated
Tú Demos vælferð er eins og alt annað ein spurningur um implementering. `i 1992 fingu vit tað vit høvdu uppiborið. skálkarnir teir ganga leysir enn.
“Welfare” certainly doesn’t mean that we should have three hospitals with no patients, or Tórsvøllur on every headland.
BLARK_translated
Vælferð" merkir væl ikki at vit hava trý sjúkrahús við ongum sjúklingum, ella Tórsvøllur á hvørjum tanga.
Pretty strange that no one thinks about the consequences when there is a shortage of both nurseries and nursing homes.
BLARK_translated
Nokkso løgið at eingin hugsar um konsekvens, tá ið tað mangla bæði vøggustovur og ellisheim.
Welfare is not something that grows in Denmark, but in the Faroe Islands nothing will happen until people work seriously. This small‑bourgeois naivety must stop.
BLARK_translated
Vælferð er ikki nakað sum veksur í Danmark, men í Føroyum verður so einki sum helst, fyrrenn fólk arbeiða í álvara. Hesin smáborgarligi naiviteturin eigur at halda uppat.
That departments at the National Hospital must close “at random,” while lawn-like football fields are everywhere, that is way too far gone.

At deildir á Landssjúkrahúsinum mugu steingja "at random", samstundis sum graslíkisfótbóltsvallir eru allastaðni, tað er ov langt úti.
Jørgen, the problem with coming together over the negotiations is that some believe it is not necessary to resolve them, others are afraid of the outcome, and there may be some who are indifferent.
BLARK_translated
Jørgen, trupulleikin við at standa saman um samráðingarnar er tann at nøkur halda at tað ikki er neyðugt at loysa, onnur eru bangin fyri úrslitinum og man tað ikki verða nøkur sum eru líkasæl.
The meeting today in Copenhagen is a waste of time. The leadership is taking over; it can be taken over “irreversibly.” It cannot be taken back.

Your problems are no problems. You just don't understand that.

Hanus Petersen must be completely crazy. He says that it is utterly pointless to negotiate with the Danes about Faroese independence.
BLARK_translated
Hanus Petersen má vera fulkomuliga vitleysur. Hann sigur, at tað vera púrt óneyðugt at samráðast við danir um føroyskt fullveldi.
Does the man not know that it is the Danes who have sovereignty over the Faroe Islands? Is he not aware that they are the ones who really hold power here in the islands, and that it is only Denmark we can negotiate with on the matter?
BLARK_translated
Veit maðurin ikki, at tað eru danir, ið hava yvirvaldsrættin yvir Føroyum? Er hann ikki greiður yvir, at tað eru teir, sum hava veruliga valdið her í oyggjunum, og at tað bert eru Danmark, vit kunnu samráðast við um spurningin?
Today we Faroese should stand together behind our negotiation committee. The minority must acknowledge that the “unity of the realm” is not on the agenda at all today — and it will never come back. What matters now is to achieve a good negotiation result, so real politics can once again be conducted in the Faroe Island...
BLARK_translated
Í dag eiga vit føroyingar at standa saman um okkara samráðingarnevnd. Minnilutin eigur at ásanna, at "ríkisfelagsskapurin" stendur als ikki á dagsskránni í dag - og kemur tað eiheldur nakrantíð aftur. Tað, sum umræður nú, er at fáa eitt gott samráðingárúrslit, so veruligur politikkur aftur kann førast í Føroyum.
At the same time, it is also important to eliminate/to address the poisonous relations between the Faroe Islands and Denmark.
BLARK_translated
Samstundis er eisini týdningarmikið at fáa billbukt við eitraðu viðurskfitunum millum Føroya og Danmarkar.
Yes, we have both complained and continued bravely, I should just say. Moses and Aaron led the people out of Egypt, but the people immediately began to complain — have Faroese people learned nothing from the Bible story? We are going to find out. It will be exciting.
BLARK_translated
Ja, vit hava hava bæði grenjið og tað treystliga framhaldið, skuldi eg bara siga. Móses og Áron leiddu fólkið úr egyptalandi, men fólkið byrjaði straks at grenja hava føroyingar einki lært av bíbliusøguni? Tað fara vit at finna útav. Spennandi verður tað.
Martin Luther King, were you anything more than a dreamer? And now you have made Faroese people dream as well. Give me real politics and secure frameworks instead. Freedom cannot be used, it doesn't put butter on the bread or upholstery on the sofa! Away with dreams and justice and freedom and such nonsense. It's harmf...
BLARK_translated
Martin Luther King, vart tú annað enn ein droymari? Og nú hevur tú fingið føroyingar at droyma eisini. Gev mær heldur real politikk og tryggar karmar. Frælsi kann ikki brúkast, tað gevur ikki smør á breyðið og polstur á sofuna! Gakk vekk við dreymum og rættvísi og frælsi og slíkum tvætli. Tað er skaðiligt.
Should a slave or a household servant without ordinary citizenship choose freedom, even though this may possibly cost him his master's pay?
BLARK_translated
Skal ein trælur ella húskallur uttan vanlig borgararættindi velja frælsi, hóast hetta møguliga kann kosta honum lønina frá harranum?
