I sometimes read the posts on this discussion page, and I must admit that it can make me feel such a sense of powerlessness. It sends a chill down my spine. | BLARK_translated | Plagi viðhvørt at lesa innleggini á hesari kjaksíðuni, og má viðganga, at tað kann fáa meg at kenna eina slíka máttloysiskenslu. Tað rennur mær kalt niður eftir rygginum. |
Let me imagine that this is the first time I touch on the question: What is it, really, that is being argued about? | BLARK_translated | Lat meg ímynda mær, at hetta er fyrstu ferð, eg raki við spurningin: Hvat er tað í veruleikanum, kjakast verður um?: |
The year is 2000. Faroese people (and a few others) argue about the subject: Should Faroese rule over Faroese, or should Danes rule over Faroese. | BLARK_translated | Árið er 2000. Føroyingar (og einstøk onnur) kjakast um evnið: Skulu føroyingar ráða yvir føroyingum, ella skulu danir ráða yvir føroyingum. |
I open my eyes wide and read again: Yes, indeed, the sad and unbelievable thing is that SOME FAROESE PEOPLE THINK THAT THE DANES SHOULD RULE THE CITIES IN THE FAROE ISLANDS. | BLARK_translated | Eg spíli eyguni sundur og lesi umaftur: Jú sanniliga, tað syrgiliga og ófatiliga er, at SUMMIR FØROYINGAR HALDA, AT DANIR SKULU RÁÐA FYRI BORGUM Í FØROYUM. |
So it is that one must ask: Why? Such an unnatural position MUST have one or another natural answer — it DEMANDS it. | BLARK_translated | So er tað, at ein noyðist at spyrja: Hví? Ein so ónáttúrlig støða MÁ hava eitt ella annað náttúrligt svar - tað KREVUR hon. |
If this is read in about a hundred years, I have no doubt that people will think someone has been pulling someone's leg here — because it can't be true! It's so illogical! It's so far from all laws of nature. Why would the Faroese want Danes to rule them? Why would Americans, for example, wish Europeans to rule over th... | BLARK_translated | Um hetta verður lisið um hundrað ár, so ivist eg ikki í, at fólk fara at halda, at her hevur setursnissan spælt onkrum eitt puss - tí tað kann ikki passa! Tað er so ólogiskt! Tað er so langt frá øllum náttúrulógum. Hví skulu føroyingar ynskja sær danar at ráða sær? Hví skuldu amerikumenn t.d. ynskt eftir, at europear s... |
What is the person who does not want to manage for themselves? If they are helpless — sick or disabled — and therefore dependent on help from others, then that may be the case, and one may perhaps have to accept this possibility if there is no one else, or because one does not know of another option. | BLARK_translated | Hvat er tað menniskja, ið ikki vil ráða sær sjálvum? Er tað óhjálpið - sjúkt ella avlamið - og tí bundið at hjálp frá øðrum, so kann tað vera tað, tað er, og ein noyðist kanska at taka við hesum møguleikanum, um eingin annar er, ella tí ein ikki veit um annan. |
But can it really be the case that the report is the one that is truly no less disgraceful: | BLARK_translated | Men kann tað veruliga vera soleiðis, at frágreiðingin er hin, sum sanniliga ikki er minni ússalig: |
Babba DK (Papa Doc?) says: "OK, as long as you live in my houses, I will take care of you, but then you must also do as I say. There's no use making demands; you accept what I provide you, and I will pay the costs. I don't want to hear any more nonsense from you!" | BLARK_translated | Babba DK (Papa Doc?) sigur: "OK, so leingi tú býrt í mínum húsum, skal eg syrgja fyri tær, men so skalt tú eisini gera, sum eg sigi. Einki við at seta fram krøv; tú tekur við tí, ið eg ætli tær, og eg rindi kostnaðin. So vil eg ikki hoyra meira tvætl frá tær!" |
Seriously, is this the ideology of unionists and social democrats — like helpless imbeciles under the wide wings of the Danish realm? Where are our old values such as self-reliance, feet under our own table, a man in his own house? | BLARK_translated | Álvaratos, er hetta ideologiin hjá sambands og javnaðarfólki - sum ómælandi ómyndingar undir veingjarbreiði danaveldisins? Hvar eru okkara gomlu virðir sum sjálvbjargni, føtur undir egið borð, maður í egnum húsi? |
Has all of this been sold for mammon, so that you can lie back and gape, while others stuff some morsel they don’t need into your mouth? | BLARK_translated | Er alt hetta selt fyri mammon, so tit kunnu liggja afturá og gapa, meðan onnur stappa onkran mola, tey ikki hava brúk fyri, í gákin á tykkum? |
Could it be that they are afraid for their own income? How typical is it not that Faroese people, while they study in Denmark, are so incredibly liberal, but when they have gotten into their fat, public positions to sit in, all that liberalism evaporates. The “comfort” is so pleasant, and then everything that has to do... | BLARK_translated | Man tað ikki vera soleiðis, at hesir óttast fyri teirra egnu úrtøku? Hvussu typiskt er tað ikki, at føroyingar, meðan teir lesa í Danmark,eru so ómetaliga frælslyntir, men tá teir so eru komnir í teirra feitu, almennu sessir at sita, so fordampar alt tað frælslynta. "Mageligheitin" er so deilig, og so hvørvur alt, sum ... |
We can do it, we have tried that so many times. We are a enterprising people, we are a capable people, we are an enterprising, capable, diverse, Christian people, and we have THE ALMIGHTY HIMSELF on our side, if we place ourselves in His hands. We have tried that for centuries. Slavery is unchristian; it does not belon... | BLARK_translated | Vit duga, tað hava vit roynt so mangan. Vit eru eitt rakst fólk, vit eru eitt dugnaligt fólk, vit eru eitt rakst, dugnaligt, fjølbroytt, kristið fólk, og vit hava SJÁLVAN HIN ALVALDA í okkara parti, um vit leggja okkum í Hansara hendur. Vit hava roynt tað í øldir. Trælalyndið er ókristiligt; tað hoyrir ikki heima í ein... |
If we stand together, we will gain our freedom; so let Nyrup & Co just shout "BØH", all they can muster. | BLARK_translated | Standa vit saman, so fáa vit okkara frælsi; lat so bara Nyrup & Co rópa "BØH", alt tað, teir orka. |
Thanks for a factual reply. Likewise, I wish you and everyone here a happy Easter. | BLARK_translated | Takk fyri eitt sakligt svar. Somuleiðis ynski eg tær og øllum her eini góð páskir. |
These are truly times of change. Perhaps the most comprehensive period of change we have had in our history. | BLARK_translated | Hetta eru veruliga broytingatídir. Kanska tann mest umfatandi broytingartíd vit hava haft í søgu okkara. |
You have gained weight, I understand — and of course that is your right. | BLARK_translated | Tú hevur tikid stødi skilji eg - og tad er sjálvandi tín rættur. |
One other thing, however, is that I cannot say for sure how I will vote this autumn. Because we still do not know the results of the negotiations. | BLARK_translated | Eitt annad er tó at siga vid vissu hvussu eg fari at atkvøda í heyst. Tí enn kenna vit ikki samrádingarúrsliti. |
Do you think you already know how you will vote? | BLARK_translated | Meinar tú at tú longu nú veit hvussu tú fer at atkvøda? |
I think it is so clear that the Danish government and their men in the Faroe Islands do everything they are able to influence the sceptical ones with speeches and the threat of excessively short adaptation time. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi at tad er so týduligt at danska stjørnin og teirra menn í Føroyum gerda alt teir eru mentir at ávirka tey ivasomu vid rædumyndum og hóttanini um ovurstutta tillagingartíd. |
Quite ironic that the same star (and many before her) wants all conceivable special arrangements for Denmark in connection with the EU adaptation — and for as long as possible. | BLARK_translated | Rættuliga ironiskt at sama stjørn (og nógvar undan henni) vil hava allar hugsandi serordningar fyri DK í samband vid EU tillagingina og so leingi saum gjørligt. |
I think we should try to understand what the tactic is from the Danish government and not let ourselves be governed so easily. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi vit skulu royna at skilja hvør taktikkurin er frá donsku stjørnini og ikki lata okkum stýrast so lætt. |
I have great respect both for national feelings and for the union with the state. And of course: That all Faroese people are very grateful for our language, culture, not least for “Merkið” (the flag), and are happy about our rights that we (ordinary Faroese people) have in Denmark. I am also convinced that all Faroese ... | BLARK_translated | Eg havi stóra virðing fyri bæði tjóðskaparkenslum og ríkisfelagsskapi. Og púra vist er: At allir føroyingar eru sera takksamir fyri okkara mál, mentan, ikki minst fyri "Merkið" og eru glað fyri okkara rættindi sum vit (vanligu føroyingar) hava í Danmark. Eisini eri eg sannførd um, at allir føroyingar virða teir menn, s... |
All Faroese people agree that the Home Rule Act must be reviewed - There is no doubt among anyone, but the question is: What does "Evstavald" and "Skiftistíð" mean? No one knows precisely - not even the coalition parties, in my view. | BLARK_translated | Allir føroyingar standa saman um at Heimastýrislógin skal endurskoðast - Her er ongin ivi hjá nøkrum, men spurningurin er: Hvat merkir "Evstavald" og "Skiftistíð"? Eingin veit nágreiniliga - heldur ikki samgonguflokkarnir - eftir mínum tykki. |
In my conviction we stand at a crossroads: Independence or Commonwealth/Union. | BLARK_translated | Eftir míni sannføring standa vit á einum vegamóti: Loysing ella Ríkisfelagsskapur. |
Many thanks for your sensible post here on the site yesterday. | BLARK_translated | Mange tak for dit fornuftige indlæg her på siden i går. |
I hope we will also see your article printed in the Faroese newspapers next week. | BLARK_translated | Jeg håber at vi også får dit indlæg at se på tryk i de færøske aviser i næste uge. |
Sigurð Joensen was not the only one who noticed the connection between language and mind. That is old. But that those connecting them only think in concrete terms is shameful. | BLARK_translated | Sigurð Joensen var ikki tann einasti ið gjørdi vart við sambandið millum mál og heila. Tað er gamalt. Men at sambandsmenn bert hugsa konkret, tað er skammiligt. |
Social democrats are after all so vain that they only think about themselves. (Though without knowing it). | BLARK_translated | Javnaðarmenn eru hóast alt so mikið frægir at teir bert hugsa um seg sjálvar. (Tó uttan at vita av tí). |
Just look at the big headlines in Dimmu, e.g. "man arrested by the police." Brilliant. The same thing appears in Sosialurin. o.u. 2 weeks ago. | BLARK_translated | Hyggið bara at teim stóru stavunum í Dimmu, t.d. "maður tikin av løgregluni". Genialt. Tað sama kemur fyri seg í Sosialinum. o.u. 2 vikum síðani. |
Connected people from Eysturoy always use the word "Fakta." Fakta is a Danish supermarket chain. | BLARK_translated | Sambandskir eysturoyingar brúka altíð orðið "fakta". Fakta er ein donsk handilsketa. |
No Hanus, it is to avoid a repetition of the black-mouth adventure that the Faroe Islands must have full sovereignty. The union period was arranged such that everyone believed it would work. It did not. It still does not, so we have to do it ourselves. What else did you expect? That Danish politicians would look after ... | BLARK_translated | Nei Hanus, tað er fyri at sleppa undan endurtøku av svartkjaftaævintýrinum at Føroyar skulu hava fullveldi. Sambandstíðin var soleiðis háttað, at øll trúðu at tað gekk. Tað gjørdi tað ikki. Tað ger tað heldur ikki, tískil mugu vit klára tað sjálvi. Hvat annað hevði tú roknað við? At danskir politikarar hava at røkja fø... |
A little bit of stiffness serves no purpose, not even for the relationship. | BLARK_translated | Eitt sindur av briksli tænir so ikki nøkrum, heldur ikki sambandinum. |
A delegation never means that the owner/manager controls the ship. A captain always has the responsibility. | BLARK_translated | Ein útdelegering merkir ongantíð at reiðarin stýrir skipinum. Ein skipari hevur altíð ábyrgdina. |
They want to have a kind of 1980s shipping industry back in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Tit vilja hava eitt slag av 80'ara reiðaravirksemi aftur í Føroyum. |
The crew, the cook, and the captain must tell the shipowner who is to go and where in the cupboard it should be placed. | BLARK_translated | Manningin,kokkurin, og skiparin, skulu siga reiðaranum, hvør skal við, og hvar í skápið skal standa. |
Everyone believed, and called the others black reactionaries, but the result was disastrous, and cost dearly. | BLARK_translated | Allir trúðu, og kallaði hinar fyri svartar afturhaldsmenn, men úrslitið var syndarligt, og kostaði dýrt. |
But on the other hand. Why should one learn from experience when one can stare oneself blind? | BLARK_translated | Men hinvegin. Hví skal man læra av roydnum, tá man kann stara seg blindan? |
Thanks for the response, Demos. I assume that today the government is the skipper while Denmark is the shipowner. | BLARK_translated | Demos takk fyri svari, eg gangi út frá at í dag er Landsstýrið skiparin meðan reiðarin Danmark. |
One thing is what the heart says and another what the mind says. | BLARK_translated | Eitt er hvat hjarta sigur og eitt annað hvat heilin sigur |
First of all, we are not talking about a "solution" in the sense that I think Hanus and Jógvan Joensen may understand the word. | BLARK_translated | Fyri tað fyrsta, so snakka vit ikki um "loysing" í tann forstand, sum eg kanska haldi Hanus og Jógvan Joensen uppfata orðið. |
Sovereignty means nothing more than supreme authority, being sovereign. Or that we have full rights over the country. That we, the people of the Faroe Islands, have the right to decide how the country and all matters pertaining to it are governed. | BLARK_translated | Fullveldi merkir ikki meir enn evsta vald, tað at vera suverenur. Ella at vit hava allan rættin yvir landinum. At vit, føroya fólk, hava rættin at gera av hvussu landið og øll viðurskiftið tí viðvíkjandi, verður stýrt. |
"Fullveldi" does not mean that we Faroese must now do every single nod and dot alone. Nations in the world work together on various things, and we necessarily have to cooperate with other countries. | BLARK_translated | Fullveldi" vil ikki siga, at vit føroyingar nú skulu gera hvørt einasta nikk og prikk einsamallir. Tjóðir í verðini arbeiða saman um ymiskt, og vit hava fyri neyðini at samarbeiða við onnur lond. |
But if we have sovereignty over our country, it is for us to decide who we cooperate with and how much, etc. Then we are the owners of the ship called the Faroe Islands. If the Danes are part of the crew or they work for us at the shipping company office, that doesn’t matter. We must make it clear that it is we who own... | BLARK_translated | Men hava vit fullveldi yvir landinum hjá okkum, er tað vit sum gera av, hvørjum vit samstarva við og hvussu nógv osfr. So eru vit reiðarar á skútuni Føroyar. Um so danskarar eru við í manningini ella teir arbeiða fyri okkum á reiðaríkontórinum, tað kann so gera tað sama. Vit skulu hava staðfest at tað er vit sum eiga s... |
And that is why I have used an example from our history. It shouldn't have been that difficult to understand. | BLARK_translated | Og tað er tí eg havi nýtt dømi úr søgu okkara. Tað burdi ikki verið so torført at skilt. |
I have become so that I have come to ask some questions here. Unfortunately I cannot see that any answer has come, so I try again with the same and new questions. | BLARK_translated | Eg havi verði so at mær komin at seta nakrar spurningar her. Tíverri dugi eg ikki at sýggja at nakað svar er komið, so eg royni aftur við somu og nýggjum spurningum. |
3) Who takes care of bombs, old emergency rockets and explosives when the marine station is closed? | BLARK_translated | 3) Hvør tekur sær av bumbum, gomlum neyðrakettum og spreingievni tá marinustøðin er stongd? |
4) If Denmark is still to handle 90% of all foreign affairs, while the government has the domestic and well‑bred ones, do the Faroe Islands then have full sovereignty with their own right of decision? | BLARK_translated | 4) Um Danmark framvegis skal passa 90% av øllum uttanríkismálum, meðan landsstýri hevur tey løttu og vældámdu, hevur Føroyar tá eitt fullveldi við egnum avgerðarætti? |
5) DMI made and ruined weather in the Faroe Islands (probably because it rains so often), who will take over after this institution, or should DMI still be trusted and who pays for it? | BLARK_translated | 5) DMI gerð og rindar verðri í Føroyum (tað er helst tí tað regnar so ofta), hvør skal taka yvir eftir hendan stovnin, ella skal DMI framvegis verða álitið og hvør rindar? |
I could imagine receiving an offer for the above-mentioned questions. | BLARK_translated | Omanfyristandandi spurningar kundi eg hugsa mær at fingið eitt boð uppá. |
You are a victim of your own demagoguery. What has the question about the matter, about sailing the world’s oceans, to do with the question about finding a solution? | BLARK_translated | Tú ert offur fyri tíni egnu demagogi. Hvat hevur spurningurin um málið, at sigla heimshøvini. við spurningin um loysing at gera? |
TALK ABOUT it and even this website will be controlled from Copenhagen. | BLARK_translated | SNAKKA UM so verður sjálvt henda heimasíða stýrd úr Keypmannahavn. |
One thing is to be afraid of the facts when they are challenged. Another is to bury your head in the sand and believe that a different world will appear when you pull your head back up. | BLARK_translated | Eitt er at ræðast fakta, tá tjakast verður. Annað er at stinga høvdið í sandin, og halda, at ein onnur verð sær dagsins ljós, tá man dregur høvdið uppaftur. |
I don't have time for that kind of arguing to be discussing specific matters with Hanus. Your interference may be the best example of why nobody argues with you. | BLARK_translated | Hatta slagið av kjaki tími eg ikki at verða við prátaði við Hanus um nøkur ítøkilig evni. Íblanding tín man vera besta dømi, um hví eingin kjakast við teg. |
I really think we would have been better served (Danish expression) by a proper discussion than by a personal and categorical attack! | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi virkiliga at vit høvdu verið betri tjent (danskt útrykk) við einum ordiligum kjaki, enn einum persón og flokka briksli! |
That doesn't seem particularly constructive to me. Do you want to argue about the question of sovereignty, or do you want to badger and accuse people for similar and different things? | BLARK_translated | Hatta virkar mær ikki serliga konstruktivt. Vilja kjakast um fullveldis-spurningin ella vilja briksla og ákæra persónar fyri líkt og ólíkt? |
Shouldn't we try to argue on a serious level instead, otherwise there's no point in it. Or what? | BLARK_translated | Skulu vit ikki heldur royna at kjakast á einum seriøsum plan, annars er eingin meining í tí.ella hvat? |
I didn't think about your family when I wrote this. | BLARK_translated | Eg hugsaði ikki um familjuna hjá tær, tá ið eg skrivaði hatta. |
After independence is confirmed, it is important that the Faroese Government obtains representation in strategic positions abroad. | BLARK_translated | Aftaná at fullveldið er staðfest, er tað týdningarmikið at Føroya Landsstýri fær sær umboð í strategiskum støðum í útlondum. |
In the commercial area this becomes an advantage. We can also expand relations with Great Britain, Ireland and countries further away without having to ask the Danes first. | BLARK_translated | Á tí kommerciella økinum gerst hettar ein fyrimunur. Eisini kunnu vit útbyggja sambandið við Stórabretland, Írland og lond longur burturi uttan at spyrja danir fyrst. |
Do you have no meaning? A meaningless man in the middle of a meaning | BLARK_translated | Hevur tú onga meining? Ein meiningsleysur maður mitt í eini meining |
You are a teacher, Manni. You know some facts. How are the negotiations with Høgni going otherwise? | BLARK_translated | Tú ert lærari, Manni. Okkurt fakta veitst tú. Hvussu gongur annars við samráðingunum við Høgna? |
No answers came up to the questions. Nor will it be you who decides who should ask. | BLARK_translated | Einki svar kom uppá spurningarnar. tað verður heldur ikki tú, sum avgerð hvør skal spyrja. |
Yes I'm a teacher, but what do you mean? Not that — I don't expect anything. | BLARK_translated | Ja eg eri lærari, men hvat tekst tú við? Ikki tí,eg vænti mær ikki nakað |
When you yourself come with claims, you must be able to prove them. | BLARK_translated | Tá tú sjálvur kemur við pástandum, mást tú kunna prógva teir. |
Do not let the spirit of stubbornness and resistance gain possession of your souls. | BLARK_translated | Latið ikki afturhalds og mótloysis andan vinna á tykkara sálum. |
They were dreamers, of course, Høgni Hoydal is too, and we self-reliant-minded people are also dreamers. But dreams become reality; that is what I prove by writing in Faroese. | BLARK_translated | Teir vóru droymarar jú, tað er Høgni Hoydal eisini, og vit sjálvbjargnishugaðu eru eisini droymarar. Men dreymar gerast veruleiki, tað er tað at eg skrivi á føroyskum eitt prógv um. |
So when you use the word "dreamer" about someone, you should know that this is a very positive word. | BLARK_translated | So at tá tit nýta orðið droymari um onkran, tá skulu tit vita, at hetta er eitt sera positivt orð. |
Nólsoyar Páll was a dreamer when he had to teach Faroese people to sail again. | BLARK_translated | Nølsoyar Páll var ein droymari tá hann skuldi læra føroyingar aftur at sigla. |
Jóanes Paturson and others were dreamers and moreover troublemakers, when they wanted the Faroese language recognized in school and church. etc. etc. | BLARK_translated | Jóanes Paturson og aðrir vóru droymarar og harafturat tápugásir, tá teir vildu hava føroyska málið viðurkent í skúla og kirkju. osfr. osfr. |
It is not coalition parties that create progress anywhere in the world. Social Democrats scream about the public pension; the public pension came about because the Americans put pressure on the Danes, according to the black book. | BLARK_translated | Tað eru ikki sambandsflokkar ið skapa framburð nakrastaðni í heiminum. Javnaðarmenn reypa av fólkapensjónini, fólkapensjónin kom tí amerikumenn løgdu trýst á danir, sambært svørtubók. |
The offshore oil system went ashore for the first time in 1951, and the second time in 1992. | BLARK_translated | Hjálandaskipanin fór fyrru ferð á heysin í 1951, seinnu ferð í 1992. |
No Labour Party can create anything in the Faroe Islands, neither the Danish one nor the Faroese branch. | BLARK_translated | Eingin javnaðarflokkur kann skapa nakað í Føroyum, hvørki tann danski ella føroyska filialið. |
Sovereignty doesn't just mean a flag at the UN, it means that we can trade freely around the world. | BLARK_translated | Fullveldi merkir ikki bert eitt flagg í ST, tað merkir at vit kunnu handla frítt um allan heimin. |
That Heðin 'with the Golden Needle' Mortensen is trying to frighten people, because officers on Danish ships must carry Danish passports, that is also a bluff. Danish shipping companies will not sack all the Faroese overnight. This is coalition-bluff, the era of the Nyrup people is also bluff. | BLARK_translated | At Heðin við Gullnálini Mortensen roynir at forskrekkja fólk, tí yvirmenn á donskum skipum skula bera danskt pass, tað er eisini bluff. Donsk reiðarí fara ikki at sekkja allar føroyingarnar eftir einum degi. Hatta er sambandsbluff, skiftistíð Nyrupsmanna er eisini bluff. |
All the countries of the world write their history on the path of freedom; anything else is illogical. | BLARK_translated | Øll heimsins lond skriva søgu sína á frælsisleið, alt annað er ólogiskt. |
THERE IS ONLY ONE AGREEMENT ACROSS PARTY LINES, AND THAT IS THE SOVEREIGNTY INTENTION. IF IT IS NOT CARRIED OUT, THERE WILL BE COMPLETE CHAOS IN THE FAROE ISLANDS. | BLARK_translated | TAÐ FINST BARA EIN SEMJA TVØRTURUM FLOKSMØRK, OG TAð ER FULLVELDISÆTLANIN. VERÐUR HON IKKI FØRD Á MÁL, VERÐUR FULLKOMIÐ KAOS Í FØROYUM |
Otherwise, the latest voter survey showed that a very clear majority supports the government’s course: sovereignty and a more reasonable distribution system. In reality, the survey showed an even larger majority for this than the last parliamentary election. | BLARK_translated | Annars vísti síðsta veljarakanning, at ógvuliga greiður meiriluti er fyri stevnu landsstýrisins: Fullveldi og rímiligari skiftisskipan. Í veruleikin vísti kanningin størri meiriluta fyri hesum, enn farna løgtingsval. |
But one thing we know: There is no agreement between the Social Democratic Party and the Union Party. There is only one agreement across party lines, and that is the sovereignty plan. | BLARK_translated | Men eitt vita vit: Tað finst eingin semja millum Javnaðar- og Sambandsflokkin. Tað finst bara ein semja tvørtur um floksmørk, og tað er fullveldisætlanin. |
And that four parties have joined together on this matter means that we currently have the widest agreement on this question that has ever existed in the Faroe Islands. If the plan for sovereignty is not brought to fruition, there will be complete chaos in the Faroe Islands, because there is no agreement on anything el... | BLARK_translated | Og at fýra flokkar eru gingnir saman í hesum máli merkir, at vit í løtuni hava breiðastu semju um hendan spurning, sum nakrantíð hevur verið í Føroyum. Verður fullveldisætlanin ikki førd á mál, verður fullkomið kaos í Føroyum, tí tað er ikki semja um nakað annað. |
It is not the Faroese government, but the Danish government, that has the opinion polls against it. If the opinion polls were correct, the Faroe Islands would have gotten full independence, and the one who negotiated that from the Danish side would have been Anders Fogh Rasmussen. But it is elections that decide this —... | BLARK_translated | Tað er ikki landsstýrið, men danska stjórnin, sum hevur veljarakanningarnar ímóti sær. Skuldu veljarakanningar rátt, skuldu Føroyar fingið fullveldi, og tann sum samráddist um tað frá danskari síðu, skuldi verið Anders Fogh Rasmussen. Men tað eru altso valini, sum avgera hetta - ikki kanningarnar. |
That the messed-up network cards need to be "rebooted" — we can do that another time. | BLARK_translated | At teir forstokkaðu sambandsskøltarnir skulu "rebootast", tað kunnu vit gera eina aðru ferð. |
The Faroe Islands are the Faroe Islands and not Iceland or Denmark — or any other country. | BLARK_translated | Føroyar eru Føroyar og ikki Ísland ella Danmark - ella nakad annad land. |
I think one can say a few principled things with certainty by comparing. For example, I believe it is logical and correct to say that since so many other small nations have managed to obtain full sovereignty — and have done better after liberation (in recent times this mostly concerns island states in the Pacific) — it... | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi at man kan siga nøkur princippiell ting vid vissu vid at samanbera. T.d. haldi eg at tad er logiskt og rætt at siga at eftirsum so nógvar adrar smátjódir hava klára at fingid fullveldi - og hava klára seg betur aftaná frígeringina (í nýggjari tíd er mest talan um oyggjaríki í Kyrrahavsøkinum) so er rímulgt at ... |
I also think that it makes sense to look at peoples who have NOT managed to gain full sovereignty and to consider that our fate will in some respects resemble theirs if we do not become independent. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi eisini at tad gevur meining at hyggja eftir fólkasløgum sum IKKI hava megna at fingid fullveldi og rokna vid at okkara lagna fer í ávísan mun at líkjast teirra um vit ikki gerast fullveldi. |
But taking individual small examples from one country and saying that it will be like that in the Faroe Islands if we get independence or if we don’t get independence is completely nonsense. | BLARK_translated | Men hetta at taka einstøk smádømi úr einum landi og siga at so fer at blíva í Føroyum um vit fáa fullveldi ella um vit ikki fáa fullveldi er púra burturvid. |
You can "prove" anything between heaven and earth that way. But you only prove nothing about the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Tú kanst "prógva" alt millum himmal og jørd á tann hátt. Men tú prógvar bara einki um Føroyar. |
It is also often so easy to find facts that "counterprove" someone else. | BLARK_translated | Tad er eisini ofta so lætt at finna fakta sum "mótprógvar" onkrun ødrum. |
For example, all this talk about the welfare in Iceland. I don't know much about Iceland. But I do know that Iceland has one of the highest average life expectancies in the world (perhaps the highest?), likewise they have one of the lowest child mortality rates. And that tells me something important about the welfare t... | BLARK_translated | T.d alt hetta tosid um vælferdina í Íslandi. Eg veit ikki nógv um Ísland. Men eg veit so at Ísland hevur ein tann hægsta midallivialdurin í verdini (kanska tann hægsta?), líkaleidis hava tey eina tad lægstu barnadeydiligheitina. Og hetta sigur mær nakad av týdningi um vælferdina har. |
On the other hand, Denmark is the only country in the Western world where the average age has DECREASED in recent years. What does that say about the welfare there? | BLARK_translated | Hinvegin so er Danmark tad einasta landid í vesturheiminum har midallivialdurin tey seinastu árini LÆKKAR. Hvat sigur tad um vælferina har? |
Now, what does this have to do with Faroese sovereignty? Almost nothing — I just want to show how easy it is to take individual “facts” and end up in senseless wordplay about my aunt and my cousin. | BLARK_translated | Nú, hvat hevur hetta vi"Føroyskt fullveldi at gerda? Nærum púrt einki - eg vil bara vísa hvussu lætt tad er at taka einstøk "fakta" og enda í meiningsleysum ordkleyvaríum um ommu tína og syskjinabarni mítt. |
The coalition that is currently in power has a clear mandate to consult about sovereignty. | BLARK_translated | Samgongan sum nú er hevur fullgreitt mandat at samrádast um fullveldi. |
I think you have to be both blind and stupid not to see that this is the aim of the DK state. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi at man má verda bædi blindur og býttur at ikki síggja at hetta er endamálid hjá DK statinum. |
Jens Pauli Heinesen wrote an article in Dagbladet in the mid-'60s called: "The Faroese man — the eternal householder." This struck many a good Faroese person. Why? Well, because the truth is so hard to hear. | BLARK_translated | Jens Pauli Heinesen skrivadi eina grein í Dagbladnum midskeidis í '60unum sum kalladist: "Føroyingurin - hin ævigi húskallurin". Hetta loypti ødi í mangan gódan føroying. Hví? Jú, heslt tí at sannleikin er so illa lýddur. |
Right now this shell-of-a-house mentality is strong in many (people), caused by the blowout from the Danes and their Faroese cloak-pocket boys. | BLARK_translated | Beint nú er hetta húskallalyndi sterkt í nógvum orsaka av útspælinum frá dønum og teirra føroysku klædssekksdreingjum. |
We should not be mocked for asking ST to remain in the negotiations. | BLARK_translated | Vit eiga ikki at smædast fyri at bida ST verda vid undir samrádingunum. |
We should continuously remind the Danes of all the exceptions, safeguards and special arrangements they have obtained in connection with the EU despite having been members for 28 years, and that we of course should get a similar understanding because we need similar arrangements. This is not begging — it is our obvious... | BLARK_translated | Vit eiga stadiliga at minna danir á øll tey undantøk, fyrivarni og serordningar teir hava fingid í samband vid EU hóast teir hava verid limir har í 28 ár og at vit sjálvandi eiga at fáa eitt líknandi forstáilsi fyri at okkum tørvar líknandi ordningar. Tad er eingin biddaragond - tad er okkara sjálvsagdi rættur. |
Imagine how politically and socially charged it will become if the independence plan collapses and it ends with the Danes dictating a solution or with quarrels among Faroese people causing a result that no one is satisfied with! Imagine that over the next 52 years we will spend most of our political energy arguing abou... | BLARK_translated | Tonkji tykkum hvussu politiska og samfelagsliga klimadi blívur um fullveldisætlanin brestir og tad endar vid at danir diktera eina loysn ella at klandri millum føroyingar ger at vit fáa eitt úrslit sum ongin er nøgdur vid! Tonk tykkum at vit tey næstu 52 árini fara at brúka meginpartin av okkara politisku krefturm uppá... |
Anyone who thinks about it understands that changes that bring greater Faroese freedom and responsibility MUST happen now. Likewise, no party will get all of its goals through. We must learn to compromise. A huge responsibility lies on all of us. Not least on the party leaders. | BLARK_translated | Einhvør sum hugsar seg um skilur at broytingar sum vidføra størri føroyskt frælsi og ábyrgd MUGU koma nú. Líkaleidis at eingin flokkur fer at fáa øll síni mál ígjøgnum. Vit mugu læra okkum at kompromissa. Har liggur ein øgilig ábyrgd á okkum øllum. Ikki minst flokksleidarunum. |
Regardless of which party you are a member of, it is also your responsibility to make your party take this responsibility as seriously as possible. | BLARK_translated | Líkamiki hvørjum flokki tú er limur í so er tad eisini tín ábyrgd at fáa tín flokk at taka hesa ábyrgd í størsta allvára. |
