That a sovereign state does not have "administrative cooperation", a common king/president and currency with other countries! | BLARK_translated | at ein suverænur statur hevur ikki "fyrisitingarligt samstarv", felags kong/forseta og gjaldoyra við onnur lond! |
that a “Long or short transition period” (15 years?) has absolutely no meaning. In any case we will get a “Faroese way of life” — and nothing else! | BLARK_translated | at ein "Long ella stutt skiftistíð" (15 ár?) hevur als ongan týdning. Vit fáa undir øllum umstøðum ein "føroyskan livistand" - og einki annað! |
that our revenue base is still only our fishing industry - and alone it cannot carry the Faroese economy, neither in 3-4 nor in 15 years! AND | BLARK_translated | at okkara inntøkugrundarlag er enn bert okkara fiskistovnur - og einsamallur klárar hann ikki at bera føroyska búskapin, hvørki um 3-4 ella um 15 ár! OG |
My thoughts about the Faroe Islands being organized in a realm partnership with Denmark and Greenland: | BLARK_translated | Mínir tankar um, at Føroyar skulu skipast í ríkisfelagsskapi við Danmark og Grønlandi: |
Denmark administers/assumes the costs for the matters that have not been taken over — and we have the same rights in Denmark as before. | BLARK_translated | Danmark umsitur/ber kostnaðin fyri tey mál - ið ikki eru yvirtikin - og vit hava somu rættindi í Danmark sum higartil. |
Today is our Flag Day — even though we are in a realm partnership with Denmark and Greenland! | BLARK_translated | Í dag er okkara Flaggdagur - hóast vit eru í ríkisfelagsskapi við Danmark og Grønlandi! |
My view regarding “Sovereignty” and “Union-state” has nothing to do with my sense of nationality or with anything “un-Faroese,” such as that I am not fond of my homeland, language, and culture, etc.! On the contrary. | BLARK_translated | Mín hugsjón viðv. "Fullveldi" og "Ríkisfelagsskapi" hevur einki við mína tjóðskaparkenslu ella við nakað "óføroyskt " at gera, so sum, at eg ikki eru góð við mítt føðiland, mál og mentan v.m.! Tvørturímóti. |
Times of change are ahead and no option is easy — that’s perfectly clear. | BLARK_translated | Broytingartíðir eru fyri framman og hvørgin kosturin er mjúkur - Tað er púra greitt. |
Do you have any suggestions for how the Faroe Islands should be organised in the future? | BLARK_translated | Hevur tú nøkur boð uppá, hvussu Føroyar skal skipast í framtíðini? |
There are many with me who fear the process. We fear the undemocratic manner that, for example, the Social Democratic Party uses. | BLARK_translated | Tað eru nógv við mær, sum óttast gongdina. Vit ræðast ódemokratiska mátan, ið eitt nú Javnaðarflokkurin brúkar. |
They make an agreement with the Danish government: so a small minority goes out against the majority. This is undemocratic and sneaky. | BLARK_translated | Teir gera avtalu við donsku stjórnina: also ein lítil minniluti gongur út um meirlutan. Hetta er ódemokratiskt og luskut. |
That you and others think it’s perfectly fine makes me even more frightened. | BLARK_translated | At tú og aðrir halda tað vera í fínasta lagi ger meg uppaftur bangnari. |
I fear that our welfare will be conditional on ties with Denmark. | BLARK_translated | Eg ræðist, at vælferð okkara skal treytast av sambandi við Danmark. |
I fear that the highest authority over our country will be located in Copenhagen. | BLARK_translated | Eg ræðíst, at evsti myndugleikin yvir okkara landi skal liggja í Keypmannahavn. |
I am afraid that we will not have our own citizenship. | BLARK_translated | Eg ræðist, at vit ikki skulu eiga okkara egna ríkisborgararætt. |
I fear that we out in the world will not be recognized as a nation. | BLARK_translated | Eg ræðist, at vit út í heimi ikki skulu verða viðurkend sum tjóð. |
I am afraid that we will be an ethnic minority in Denmark for all time. | BLARK_translated | Eg ræðist, at vit í allar ævir skulu vera etniskur minniluti í Danmark. |
I fear those of our fellow countrymen who collaborate with Poul Nyrup Rasmussen. | BLARK_translated | Eg ræðist teir av okkara landsmonnum, ið samstarva við Poul Nyrup Rasmussen. |
I fear the anti-democratic forces that are sneaking into political parties. | BLARK_translated | Eg ræðist antidemokrtatsku kreftirnar, sum sníkja seg inn í polistikar flokkar. |
I fear for the future if the Union Party and the Social Democratic Party alone get a majority in the parliament. Then they will start to waste our savings and tie us and future generations to Denmark. | BLARK_translated | Eg ræðist framtíðina um Sambandsflokkurin og Javnaðarflokkurin einsamallir fáa meirlutan á tingi. Tá fara teir at oyða okkara uppsparingar binda okkum og komandi ættarlið undir Danmark. |
Are you afraid — what is it you fear? Are we all just miserable, pitiful animals? Are we merely lame, blind and deaf or slightly gifted needy animals who must have others to lead us? | BLARK_translated | Tit ræddu, hvat er tað, tit óttast fyri? Eru vit bara ússalig olmussudýr øll somul? Eru vit bara lamin, blind og deyv ella smátt begávað neyðardýr, ið mugu hava onnur at leiða okkum? |
Have you heard about Hirtshals? Could it be that there are Faroese people who have got an entire (Danish) town to flourish? | BLARK_translated | Hava tit hoyrt um Hirtshals? Man tað ikki vera nakað um, at tað eru føroyingar, ið hava fingið ein heilan (danskan) bý at blóma? |
Is it the Faroese people who are wrong, or what? Shouldn't it rather be the government here in the country that's wrong? | BLARK_translated | Er tað galið við føroyingunum, ella hvussu? Man tað ikki heldur vera stýrinum her á landi, galið er við? |
Who decides what our government looks like? We voters? That's right! It is US who decide what we want. | BLARK_translated | Hvør ger av, hvussu stjórn okkara sær út? Vit veljarar? rætt gitt! Tað eru VIT, ið gera av, hvat vit vilja. |
Let us move forward, so we can focus our energy on MANAGING OUR ECONOMY, our INDUSTRY, our FISHING RESOURCES. | BLARK_translated | Latið okkum koma víðari, so vit kunnu savna okkara orku um at STÝRA OKKARA ØKONOMII, okkara VINNULÍVI, okkara FISKIRÍKIDØMI. |
Who decides how, for example, the distribution between fishing vessels, processing plants, and fish sales is organized? | BLARK_translated | Hvør ger av, hvussu t.d. býtið millum fiskiskip, framleiðsluvirki og fiskasølu verður skipað? |
Once again, get rid of inferiority complexes, let go of the belief that everything that is not Faroese is better than what is Faroese. | BLARK_translated | Einaferð enn, sleppið fyritaksloysinum, sleppið álitinum á, at alt, ið ikki er føroyskt, er betri enn tað, ið føroyskt er. |
With the fish we could feed about 40,000 and with the oil perhaps a few hundred thousand more! But the oil is only a temporary gain, so forget it! | BLARK_translated | Við fiskinum kundu vit breyðføða uml. 40000 og við oljuni kanska fleiri 100 túsund! Men oljan er bert løtuvinningur, so gloym tað! |
Independence means that we should govern our own homes. | BLARK_translated | Fullveldi gongur út uppá at vit skulu ráða í egnum húsum. |
Independence does not mean cutting off all ties with Denmark in the scientific, commercial and cultural fields. | BLARK_translated | Fullveldi gongur ikki út uppá at kvetta alt samband við Danmark á tí vísindaliga, vinnuliga og mentunarligaøkinum. |
There is, however, one Faroese person who does not intend to have anything to do with Danes; his name is Páll Poulsen, a weathercockered fellow who has nothing else to do than call people one thing and another. | BLARK_translated | Tað finst tó ein føroyingur, ið ikki ætlar at hava nakað við danskarar at gera, hann eitur Páll Poulsen, ein rustaður veðurhani, ið ikki hevur annað at gera enna at kalla fólk bæði eitt og annað. |
It’s not clear what opinion Páll is supposed to change; it seems to me as if he has no opinion at all, apart from thinking that everyone are idiots or the like, who don’t support full sovereignty. | BLARK_translated | Hvørja meining Páll skal skifta er ikki gott at vita, ta fyrikemur mær sum um hann onga meining hevur, burtursæð frá at øll eru idiotar ella slíkt, ið ikki ganga inn fyri fullveldi. |
Should sovereignty give us a political system that punishes local idiocy? | BLARK_translated | Fullveldi skal geva okkum eina politiska skipan, ið straffar lokalidioti? |
Yes, Páll I am a sovereign, but even so I understand the arguments of those who are not, which you do not, and that is very poor of you. | BLARK_translated | Jú Páll fullveldismaður eri eg, men fyri tað skilji eg argumentini hjá teimum, ið ikki eru, men tað gert tú ikki, og er tað ógvuliga fátæksligt av tær. |
Do you know a game the Danes call "SKAK"? Learn it and relate it to the future of the Faroe Islands. I hope you understand that it is not enough to watch a single move ahead. | BLARK_translated | Kennur tú eitt spæl í danir kalla "SKAK". Lær teg tað og set tað í samband við framtíð Føroyar. Vónani sæt tú at tað ikki er nokk at hyggja ein leik framm. |
I assume that you have given some thought to how the Faroe Islands should be arranged in the future. Share them so we can see if there is anything that can be used. | BLARK_translated | Eg gangi út frá at tú hevur gjørt tær nakrar tankar um hvussu Føroyar skal skipast í framtíðuni. Kom við teimum, so vit kunnu sýggja um tað er nakað ið kan brúkast. |
Society is not the same. Today you are not at a public meeting, but sit in front of the computer and talk about the future of the Faroes. Before, the boat was in the nest, the cow in the cowshed, etc.; people were more self-sufficient when what they needed was nearby. Today we are more dependent on each other and on so... | BLARK_translated | Samfelagið er ikki tað sama. Í dag ert tú ikki á fólkafundi, men situr framman fyri telduna og tosar um framtíð føroyar. Fyrr var báturin í nestinum, kúgvin í fjósinum o. s. fr. fólkið var meira sjálvbjargið, tá tað tey skuldu brúka var í nánd. Í dag eru vit meira avhengi av hvørjum ørum og samfelagnum umframt grannalo... |
At minimum I had expected a few signs about the future. It's almost only Carl who sees the writing on the wall. And has some visions. | BLARK_translated | Tað minsta eg hevði roknað við vóru nøkur boð uppá framtíðina. Tað er næstan bara Carl ið sær skriftina á vegginum. Og hevur nakrar visiónir. |
The socialists could have given some orders, but you can hear almost nothing but clacking. | BLARK_translated | Javnaðarmenn kundu givið nøkur boð, men ein hoyrir næstan bert briksl. |
The Home Rule Act totally failed in 1992. Those who haven’t understood this have only deserved that the same scheme repeats itself and about 10,000 people flee the country. That’s what they did from 1991–95. If no other constitutional/governance arrangements apply, it can easily happen that, for example, the undersea t... | BLARK_translated | Heimastýrislógin spældi totalt fallitt í 1992. Tey sum ikki hava skilt hettar, hava ikki uppiborið annað enn at sama skemtið endurtekur seg og eini 10000 fólk rýma av landinum. Tað gjørdu tey frá 1991-95. Verða ikki onnur stýrisskipanarlig viðurskifti galdandi, kann lættliga henda at t.d. undir-sjóvartunnilin einans ko... |
Those things with the UFOs in Gundadalur and Svangaskarð are striking examples of idiocy. No part of the system sanctions such dog’s life. Why? | BLARK_translated | Hatta har við UFO'ini í Gundadali og Svangaskarði eru málandi dømi um idioti. Eingin liður í skipanini sanktionerar slíkt hundalív. Hví? |
You Hanna, what do you think people lived on before the Home Rule Act? Then no money came from Denmark, and why do you think everything went into "fish". For 52 years. | BLARK_translated | Tú Hanna, hvat heldur tú fólk livdu av áðrenn heimastýrislógina. Tá kom eingin peningur úr Danmark, og hví heldur tú at alt fór í "fisk". Í 52 ár. |
As a mother I want my children to have the same opportunities that I have received, and therefore I will vote NO in the referendum. | BLARK_translated | Sum mamma ynski eg, at míni børn fáa somu møguleikar, sum eg havi fingið, og tí fari eg at atkvøða NEI á fólkaatkvøðuni. |
One can dream about many things — but the reality is that we still only have the fishing industry to rely on — and it alone cannot carry the Faroese economy. | BLARK_translated | Ein kann droyma um mangt og hvat - men sjálvur veruleikin er, at vit enn bert hava fiskastovnin á at líta á - og hann klárar ikki einsamallur at bera føroyska búskapin. |
For at least 52 years we have had the opportunity to find other sources of income, but no other source of income has yet been found. | BLARK_translated | Í minst 52 ár hava vit havt møguleikan at finna aðrar inntøkumøguleikar, men enn er eingin annar inntøkumøguleiki funnin. |
If oil is found, the situation is completely different. | BLARK_translated | Um olja verður funnin, so er støðan ein heilt onnur. |
As a mother, I do not dare that the fate of our children should lie with foreigners. I am sure that most mothers agree with me on this. | BLARK_translated | Sum mamma tori eg ikki, at lagnan hjá børnum okkara skal liggja hjá útlendingum. Eg eri vís í, at flestu mammur eru samdar við mær í hesum. |
Therefore we will all stand together for our fatherland and vote J A! | BLARK_translated | Tí fara vit allar at standa saman um okkara føðiland og atkvøða J A! |
Tomorrow is Flag Day. It will be exciting to see who the speakers are. Likely several politicians will be among them. Incredible! | BLARK_translated | Í morgin er flaggdagur. Spennandi verður, hvørjir røðararnir vera. Helst fara fleiri sambandshugað at teljast millum teirra. Ótrúligt! |
Yes, that's how it goes: They fought weakly against the flag and now they half-raise our banner. | BLARK_translated | Ja, soleiðis gongur: Teir bardust sum svakir ímóti flagginum og nú hálova teir merki okkara. |
This is also how things will go with self-rule: Unionists and members of the Social Democrats fight with dirty and dishonorable weapons against sovereignty. But believe me, when sovereignty is won, they will also defend the city. | BLARK_translated | Soleiðis fer gongdin eisini at vera við sjálvstýrinum: Sambands- og javnaðarmenn berjast við skitnum og ósømiligum vápnum ímóti fullveldinum: Men trúgvið mær, tá ið fullveldið er vunnið, fara teir eisini at verja borg. |
Some people think about buying themselves a new car. You can see in their expressions how happy they become. Until the bill arrives. | BLARK_translated | Summi fólk blíva mett av at keypa sær ein nýggjan bil. Tú sært á eygnabráunum hvussu glað tey blíva. Inntil rokningin kemur. |
Denmark is joining the euro now, so what will we be considered then, the euro? Or. | BLARK_translated | Danmark fer uppí euruna nú, hvat skulu vit so blíva mett av, euroni? Ella. |
The whole Home Rule Act has been like a catechism for the Social Democratic Party. They governed almost all the years. And it ended terribly badly in 1992. Have people already forgotten this? | BLARK_translated | ØLL heimastýrislógin hevur verið sum Katekismus hjá javnaðarflokkinum. Teir stýrdu øll árini, so at siga. Og tað endaði grúuliga galið í 1992. Hava fólk longu gloymt hettar? |
A meaningless man, in the middle of a meaning, that is probably a moderate man. You never know where you have him, that is the problem. | BLARK_translated | Ein meiningsleysur maður, mitt í eini meining, tað er vælsaktans ein javnaðarmaður. Tú veit aldrin hvar tú hevur hann, tað er trupulleikin. |
Isn't it common in other countries to make plans for the future of the homeland? | BLARK_translated | Er tað ikki vanligt í øðrum londum at leggja ætlanir fyri framtíðina hjá føðilandinum? |
The Social Democratic Party has done nothing for two years except try to trip up the government. | BLARK_translated | Javnaðarflokkurin hevur ikki gjørt annað í tvey ár enn at roynt at spent bein fyri Landsstýrinum. |
The broadcaster has promoted this Ejdesgaard as if he had gold in his lap. What is this, parliamentarism? | BLARK_translated | Utvarpið hevur promoverað handan Ejdesgaard, sum um hevði hann gull í skjáttuni. Hvat er hetta, parlamentarisma? |
To say that people who do not agree with you are unredeemed and afraid is so ugly. | BLARK_translated | At siga at fólk, ið ikki eru einig við tær, eru ófrelst og bangin. er í so ljót. |
What the chairman of the Social Democratic Party did 22 years ago may be irrelevant; we all have the right to change our minds, but I doubt whether you will be able to allow yourself to do so in the future at all. | BLARK_translated | Hvat formaður javnaðarflokksins hevur gjørt fyri 22 árum síðani kann vera líkasmikið, vit hava øll loyv at skifta meining, men eg ivist í, um tú yvirhøvir kann loyva tær tað í framtíðini. |
We must note that some of these threads have become heavy iron chains. | BLARK_translated | Vit mugu konstatera at nakrir av hesum træðrum er vorðnir tungar jarnketur. |
Can someone tell me why we shouldn't manage (or run) things in our own home? | BLARK_translated | Kann nakar siga mær hví vit ikki skulu ráða heima hjá okkum sjálvum? |
Some think that if we govern ourselves, things will go the same way as in Iceland. These also want to be included among those who say things are going badly for Iceland. Here I have not claimed that things are going badly or well in Iceland, but we lack the arguments to show that things are going badly in Iceland. | BLARK_translated | Onkur meinar at um vit ráða sjálvi so ferð at gangast sum hjá Íslandi. Hesi vilja eisini vera við at tað gongur illa hjá Íslandi. Her havi eg ikki pástaði at tað gongur illa ella gott hjá Íslandi, men vit mangla argumentir fyri at tað gongur illa hjá Íslandi. |
How does one guard against a possible future dissatisfaction? Well, you ensure that people get at least what they expect, and preferably a little more. This is known in commerce/psychology as the "well-being factor". | BLARK_translated | Hvussu byrgir ein uppfyri einari møguligari komandi ónøgd, jú man syrgir fyri at fólkið fær sum minimum tað tey vænta, og helst eitt sindur meira. Hetta er kent innan handilsverðina/psykologiðina sum "trivnaðarfaktorurin". |
I don't see it as a mission to convert anyone. But at the very least I had expected that people would have given some thought to how the country should be organized in the future. | BLARK_translated | Eg síggi tað ikki sum eina missión at umvenda nakran. Men eg hevði í minsta lagi roknað við at fólk høvdu gjørt sær nakrar tankar um hvussu landið skal skipast í framtíðini. |
The radio in Sortudík took the lead in the misinformation agitation by giving Ejdesgaard special airtime. | BLARK_translated | Utvarpið í Sortudíki gekk á odda í fordummilsisagitatiónini við at lata Ejdesgaard serliga senditíð. |
I hear no talk of a legal reckoning over the corruption and all the ships whose owners drained the public coffers. | BLARK_translated | Eg hoyri ongan tosa um eina rættaruppgerð við fútaskipanina og øll skipini, hvørs reiðarar tømdu landskassan. |
I also don't understand why Social Democrats have become as reactionary as, for example, Dan Petersen. It's unpleasant. | BLARK_translated | Eg skilji heldur ikki hví javnaðarmenn eru vorðnir líka reaksjonerir sum t.d. Dan Petersen. Tað er óhugnaligt. |
In the plan the Supreme Court is placed in Denmark; how long do people expect such an arrangement can work? | BLARK_translated | Í upplegginum er hægstirættur lagdur í Danmark, hvussu leingi rokna menn við at ein tílík skipan kann virka? |
Denmark is not entirely spotless regarding human rights. According to Amnesty, the Danish police beat an African tourist in Kastrup a few years ago. "Someone" once leaked a letter about "benevolent judges." What is that? | BLARK_translated | Danmark er ikki heilt stovureint innan mannarættindi. Sambært Amnesty hevur donsk løgregla bukað ein afrikanskan turist í Kastrup fyri nøkrum árum síðani. ""Onkur" lak einaferð bræv út um "velvillige dommere". Hvat er tað"? |
Should laws not be followed? Or should we act like social democrats and the rest of the petty bourgeoisie and shrug our shoulders at our own country? | BLARK_translated | Skulu lógir ikki fylgjast? Ella skulu vit gera sum javnaðarmenn og restin av smáborgarskapinum og yppa øksl at okkara egna landi? |
With each passing day it becomes increasingly clear that the sense of belonging is the dominant factor in all independence discourse. If you do not sing along in the Independence Choir you are a traitor. Hallelujah for those who praise and say beautiful words about our country. God save the one who asks questions. | BLARK_translated | Fyri hvønn dag sum gongur gerst alt týðuligari, at undirlutakenslan er tann dominerandi faktorurin í øllum fullveldiskjaki. Syngur tú ikki við í Fullveldiskórinum ert tú ein svíkjari. Halleluja fyri teir, sum rósa og siga vøkur orð um okkara land. Guð náði tann, sum setir spurningar. |
I agree with Eidesgaard’s assessments. He runs errands for the Danish mother party, he is very opportunistic, he is a turncoat and basically he has only one thing on his mind: that HE should sit at the center and have all the power. Whatever the cost. | BLARK_translated | Eg eri samdur vid metingunum av Eidesgaard. Hann rennur örindi fyri danska módurflokkin, hann er sera oppurtunistiskur, hann er ein vinglusköltur og i grundini hevur hann bert eitt í huganum: at HANN skal sita í centrum og hava alt vald. Kosta hvat tad kosta vil. |
But don’t forget the ordinary supporters of the Social Democrats - there are many good people there who want independence. Those who voted in the last election for a party that said it wanted self-government. That it was opportunism from the party leadership we have, after all, been able to establish — that the leaders... | BLARK_translated | Men gloymi ikki vanliga javnadarveljaran - har finnist nógv gott fólk sum vil fullveldi. Tey atkvöddu vid sísta val á ein flokk sum segdi seg vilja sjálvstýri. At tad var oppurtunisma frá flokksleidsluni hava vit jú kunna konstatera aftaná - at leidslan dansar eftir floytuni hjá Nyrup hava vit eisini säd. |
But I am, however, convinced that a large portion of the social democrats will vote for full sovereignty. Today they are fearful and doubtful - do not know whom to believe. | BLARK_translated | Men eg eri tó sannfördur um at ein stórur partur av javnadarfólkunum koma at atkvöda fyri fullveldinum. Í dag eru tey bangin og ivasom - vita ikki hvörjum tey skulu trúgva. |
Deep inside, even a hardened unionist is also a true Faroese person who wants the very best for their country. | BLARK_translated | Innast inni er sjálvt ein forherdadur sambandsmadur eisini ein rättur föroyingur sum vil alt tad besta fyri sítt land. |
And when we know that the chairman of the Social Democratic Party would have gotten into parliament for the Republican Party in 1978, then it becomes very, very embarrassing. | BLARK_translated | Og tá ið vit vita at formaðurin í javnaðarflokkinum mundi sloppið á ting fyri tjóðveldisflokkin í 1978, tá gerst tað sera, sera pínligt. |
They are, because they do not want to go along with a negotiation result that is not yet available. They are arguing (or nagging). | BLARK_translated | Tað eru teir, tí teir vilja ikki taka undir við einum samráðingarúrsliti, sum ikki fyriliggur enn. Teir tvætla. |
Empty postulate about nothing, and Eidesgaard has contradicted himself at least a hundred times. Nonsense and grumbling. | BLARK_translated | Innantóm postulat um einki, og Eidesgaard hevur mótsagt sær sjálvum minst hundrað ferðir. Svass og vrevl. |
I think it's more realistic to come up with proposals that can be used in the future, rather than this scare campaign and ugly witch hunt against Høgni that the egalitarians are organizing. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi at tað er meiri realistiskt ot koma við uppskotum sum kunnu brúkast í framtíðini, heldur enn hesa ræðslukampanjuna og ljótu heksajaktina ímóti Høgna sum javnaðarmenn skipa fyri. |
I have followed closely, and it took months before Jóannes came up with this nonsense self-government law. He waffles and he is embarrassing. | BLARK_translated | Eg havi fylgt væl við, og tað tók mánaðir áðrenn Jóannes kom við hasum svassinum sjálvsstýrislóg. Hann vrevlar og hann er pínligur. |
Dear Páll, if the Social Democrats don't want to accept sovereignty in the same way as you do, are they then cowardly? | BLARK_translated | Góði Páll, fyri tað um javnaðarmenn ikki vilja takað undir við fullveldinum á sama hátt sum tú so eru teir, ræðsluslidnir? |
Try and stop dragging the argument down; rather keep it at the level that Á. G. Jacobsen and Jógvan Joensen maintain. | BLARK_translated | Royn og lat vera við at draga kjakið niður, royn heldur halt tað á einum støði, sum Á. G. Jacobsen og Jógvan Joensen gera. |
For example in the field of education. Why is there no meteorologist at the university? | BLARK_translated | T.d. á útbúgvingarøkinum. Hví er eingin veðurfrøðingur á fróðskaparsetrinum? |
Thank you — it is as rare as seeing a puffin on Christmas Eve to read such a lively and sensible article in print as the one A. G. Jacobsen has written below. Heartfelt thanks for that. It is so delightful to see such a sensible speech instead of all the whining and evasions. | BLARK_translated | Tak er sjáldsamt sum lundi á jólanátt at síggja eina so lívsjáttandi og skilagóða grein á prenti, sum Á. G. Jacobsen hevur skrivað her niðanfyri. Hjartans tøkk fyri tað. Tað er so gleðiligt at síggja so skilagóða talu í staðin fyri alt grenjið og undanførslurnar. |
By "Playboy" I meant the big-grown youngster who keeps sucking his mother's tit, you know, and doesn't want to grow up. | BLARK_translated | Við Playboy meinti eg hin trøllvaksna ungan, ið blívur við at súgva móðir júgur, tú veitst, og ikki vil gerast vaksin. |
Collaboration is good, on equal footing. You give and receive. Otherwise it becomes dependency, because then you are bound to do what the other party dictates. | BLARK_translated | Samstarv er gott, á líka føti. Tú gevur og fært. Annarleiðis við avhengigheit, tí tá ert tú bundin at gera tað, sum hin parturin ásetur. |
Of course we should examine what can be examined, but if we do not have all the answers immediately (some things cannot be known in advance), we cannot blame everyone for that. We must have a bit of idealism and optimism. | BLARK_translated | Sjálvandi eiga vit at kanna tað, ið kannast kann, men um vit ikki hava øll svarini beinanvegin (sumt kann man ikki vita frammanundan), so kunnu vit ikki sleppa øllum á bláman fyri tað. Eitt sindur av idealismu og optimismu mugu vit hava. |
I like the way you present it and more or less agree, but almost everyone must admit that if the Faroe Islands become fully sovereign they will cooperate with other countries (Denmark) in many areas. | BLARK_translated | Mær dámar væl tað tú førir fram og eri so at siga samdur, men flest øll hava ásanna, so kemur fullveldi Føroyar at samstarva við onnur lond (DK) á sera nógvum økjum. |
I don't think it is right to deal with problems only as they arise; instead we should anticipate them so the solution is ready. | BLARK_translated | Eg meini ikki tað er rætt at taka trupulleikarnar so hvørt teir koma, i staðin skulu vit síggja teir frammanundan so loysnin er klár. |
Let us imagine that our Playboy was asked the question you ask. Undoubtedly he would have answered: No, let it be, I’m fine as I am. Why should I work when I can get out of it? | BLARK_translated | Latið okkum ímynda okkum, at okkara Playboy fekk spurningin, ið tú setur. Óivað hevði hann svarað: Nei, lat gá, eg havi tað fínt, sum eg havi tað. Hví skal eg arbeiða, tá eg kann sleppa undan? |
Personally, I believe that what is all-important is that we WANT to manage on our own; then we will do so, because then we arrange our circumstances accordingly. | BLARK_translated | Persónliga haldi eg, at tað, ið er altumráðandi, er, at vit VILJA klára okkum sjálvi; so gera vit tað eisini, tí tá innrætta vit okkara umstøður eftir tí. |
Otherwise, that is exactly what our politicians are doing: trying to clarify such questions, so the answers will likely come when they are ready. Let us wait until then. | BLARK_translated | Annars er tað júst tað, okkara politikarar gera, at royna at fáa greiði á slíkum spurningum, so svørini fara helst at koma, tá tey eru klár. Latið okkum bíða so leingi. |
The main point is that we Faroese stand together as Faroese. We love our country, and we will be incredibly proud the day we see that we truly manage to govern ourselves, right? | BLARK_translated | Høvuðsakin er, at vit føroyingar standa saman sum føroyingar. Vit elska okkara land, og vit verða ómetaliga errin tann dag, vit síggja, at vit veruliga megna at stýra okkum sjálvum, ha? |
I am so moved and agree with what you say. Let us try to keep the debate at a decent and serious level. | BLARK_translated | Eg eri so rørandi einigur við tí tú sigur. LAt okkum royna at halda kjakinum á einum siðiligum og seriøsum støði. |
It is not appropriate to misuse terms like “mentioned to be.” It is best to think before one embarks on such wordplay! | BLARK_translated | Ikki sømir seg at misnýta slík hugtøk sum nevnd vera. Best er at hugsa seg um áðrenn man hættar sær út í slíkan orðadrátt! |
I just want to be able to say that what bothers me a bit about this whole issue — about sovereignty, supreme authority and the like — is that I see every day a lot of pretty concepts being thrown out into the air, from all directions. | BLARK_translated | Eg vil bara sleppa at siga, at tað sum harmar meg eitt sindur, við øllum hesum málinum, um fullveldi, evsta vald og tílíkum er, at eg síggi dagliga eina rúgvu av føgrum hugtøkum verða slongd út í luftina,ur øllum ættum. |
I just wished that people would stop throwing concepts around like that into the air, but instead they spoke openly and honestly. | BLARK_translated | Eg vildi bert ynskt, at menniskju lótu vera við at slongja hugtøk út soleiðis í luftina, men í staðin tosaðu opið og erliga |
Does anyone have a good argument for why Faroese people should not govern their own country? | BLARK_translated | Hevur nakar eitt gott argument fyri at føoyingar ikki skulu ráða í sínum egna landi? |
Come up with some more concrete solutions for how we solve the tasks that the Danes handle for us today. Then we will be on the right track. | BLARK_translated | Kom so við eitt sindur meira konkretum loysnum uppá hvussu vit loysa tær uppgávurnar sum danir klára fyri okkum í dag. So eru vit á rættu leið |
