No, Jens Chr.! The voter has STILL NOT spoken! You probably do not understand/cannot tolerate that the Faroese person demands more than pretty words from the coalition parties. | BLARK_translated | Nei, Jens Chr.!Veljarin hevur ENN IKKI talað!. Tú skilir/tolir ivaleyst ikki, at føroyingurin krevur meir enn vøkur orð frá samgonguflokkunum. |
The terms "voter", "Faroese person" or "opinion poll" are in this context completely irrelevant. | BLARK_translated | Heiti: "Veljari", "føroyingur" ella "meiningskanning" er í hesum sambandi fullkomiliga óviðkomandi. |
I do not want such politics, and I have taken my position. | BLARK_translated | Eg ynski ikki sovorðnan politikk, og havi tikið mína støðu. |
The Social Democrats and other unionists are trying to mislead the voter. They want to update the Home Rule Act, nothing else. Exactly the same as Pól Nýrupp and his imperialistic government. | BLARK_translated | Javnaðarmenn og aðrir sambandsmenn royna at villleiða veljaran. Teir vilja dagføra heimastýrislógina, einki annað. Júst tað sama, sum Pól Nýrupp og hansara imperialistiska stjórn. |
They cannot avoid the fact that the choice is between FREEDOM and UNFREEDOM, it's that simple. | BLARK_translated | Teir kunnu ikki koma uttan um tann veruleika, at valið stendur ímillum FRÆLSI og ÓFRÆLSI, so einfalt er tað. |
Now another voter survey has confirmed that the majority of the people of the Faroe Islands want freedom and independence. According to the survey, 49.7% support the coalition in its policy, 39.7% are opposed. | BLARK_translated | Nú hevur aftur ein veljarakanning staðfest, at meirlutin av Føroya fólki vil frælsi og fullveldi. Sambært kanningini stuðla 49,7% samgonguni í sínum politikki, 39,7% eru ímóti. |
That is to say that more and more Faroese people are supporting sovereignty. | BLARK_translated | T.v.s. at alsamt fleiri føroyingar taka undir við fullveldinum. |
But of course it will not be opinion polls that decide which direction we take, because we cannot do without the democratic majority. | BLARK_translated | Men tað verða sjálvandi ikki veljarakanningar, sum koma at avgera, hvørja leið vit ganga, tí vit kunnu ikki koma uttan um demokratiska meirlutan. |
The opposition, led by the Social Democrats, must smear themselves with this! | BLARK_translated | Hetta má andstøðan við javnaðarflokkinum á odda smyrja seg við! |
Hanna! The voter has NOT spoken! I hope you understand that. A random opinion poll has been conducted BUT the voter speaks every 4th year (sometimes it is, however, shorter in between). Such a "voter survey" is at most interesting and can otherwise only be used as pressure against our elected representatives. Hopefully... | BLARK_translated | Hanna! Veljarin hevur IKKI talað! Tað vóni eg, tú skilur.ein tilvildarlig meiningskanning er gjørd MEN veljarin talar 4. hvørt ár(onkuntíð er tó styttri ímillum).ein slík "veljarakanning" er í mesta lagið áhugaverd og kann annars bert nýtast sum pressión móti fólkavaldu umboðum okkara. Vónandi ert tú samd við mær í, at... |
“It is difficult to predict, especially the future,” said a good Danish man. But Hanus Petersen knows the whole future as a Faroese version of the Oracle of Delphi. No, he himself, not all that glitters is gold, and I will not be swayed by Danish envy. | BLARK_translated | Det er svært at spå, især om fremtiden", segði góður danskur maður. Men Hanus Petersen kennir alla framtíð sum ein føroysk útgáva av Oraklinum í Delfi. Nei, hann sjálvur, ikki er alt gull, ið glitrar, og eg lati meg ikki tøla av donskum eygnarivi. |
Administrative cooperation between the authorities in both countries will be ensured in the treaty to the extent necessary. Special provisions and arrangements will be made for: | BLARK_translated | Fyrisitingarligt samstarv millum myndugleikarnar í londunum báðum verður tryggjað í sáttmálanum í tann mun tørvur er á tí. Serstakar ásetingar og skipanir verða gjørdar fyri: |
Foreign affairs, courts, prosecution, law enforcement, custody and prison services, financial supervision and deposit insurance scheme, health sector, public welfare, air traffic and ship inspection. AND THAT "Equality in nationality will be established between Faroese and Danes, so that the rights and duties of Faroes... | BLARK_translated | Uttanríkismál, Dómstólar, ákæruvald, løgverju, varðhald og kriminalforsorg, Fíggjareftirlit og innskjótaratrygdarskipan, Heilsuøki, Almannaøki, Flogferðslu og Skipaeftirlit". OG AT "Javnstøða í tjóðskapi verður ásett millum føroyingar og danir, so at rættindi og skyldur føroyinga og dana verða tryggjað í londunum báðum... |
And what does the prime minister dare to say on the radio tonight: "That people are afraid of a shorter transition period"? Has the prime minister not at all understood that Faroese people are a people with respect for themselves and therefore do not meddle with their already "transition period" (i.e. we govern while t... | BLARK_translated | Og hvat billar løgmaður sær inn at siga í útvarpinum í kvøld: "At fólki er bangin fyri stuttari skiftistíð"? Hevur løgmaður als ikki skilt, at føroyingar eru eitt fólk við virðing fyri sær sjálvum og skoyta tí ikki um teirra longu "skiftistíð" (t.e. Vit valda, meðan danir gjalda). Nei, antin skulu vit hava "loysing", y... |
No matter what negotiating outcome (“nice words”) the coalition parties come up with, they have the big problem that the voter absolutely does not want such politics in the future. Is it surprising that the voter turns their back on these coalition parties, Álvur? | BLARK_translated | Líkamikið hvat samráðingarúrslit ("vøkur orð") samgonguflokkarnir koma við, so hava teir tann stóra trupulleika, at veljarin ynskir als ikki sovorðnan politikk í framtíðini. Er undur í, at veljarin vendur hesum samgonguflokkum bakið, Álvur? |
Which economy is better off, the Faroese or the Danish? | BLARK_translated | Hvat vinnulív hevur tað betur, tað Føroyska ella tað danska? |
Otherwise I have difficulty taking Kári Petersen seriously when he cannot express himself clearly. He wrote about the economy in the future, that it will be “óstabilur”. 'Ostur' (cheese) and 'bilur' (car). The man of course means 'óstøðugur' (unstable). And then he also uses the word 'einstáttaður' about that same econ... | BLARK_translated | Annars havi eg eg ilt við at taka Kára Petersen í álvara, tá ið hann ikki dugir at málbera seg skilliga. Hann skrivað um búskapin í framtíðini, at hann verður "óstabilur". Óstur og bilur. Maðurin meinar eyðvitað óstøðugur. Og so nýtir hann eisini orðið "einstáttaður" um henda sama búskað. Búskapur og annað FÆR IKKI VER... |
It is precisely within the EU’s DIS system that it has become more and more difficult for Filipinas and others to make themselves heard / to assert themselves. | BLARK_translated | Tað er júst í DIS skipanini innanfyri EU, at tað er vorðið truplari og truplari hjá philipinarum og øðrum at gera seg galdandi. |
Another example, of an open admission and practical benefit for us, which has no importance for them. | BLARK_translated | Aftur eitt dømi,um ein opinlýsan og praktiskan fyrimun fyri okkum, sum ongan týdning hevur fyri teir. |
I don't think it matters that much if the requirement is that the education is Danish. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi ikki at tað ger so nógv, um kravið, er, at útbúgvingin er donsk. |
But still, there wouldn’t be any tax if we also excluded some other approvals that we thought were missing in Denmark. | BLARK_translated | Men allíkvæl, so hevði tað ikki skatt, um vit eisini útegaðu okkum nakrar aðrar góðkenningar, har vit hildu at tær manglaðu í Danmark. |
And we can certainly do that within the Commonwealth. Don’t forget that. | BLARK_translated | Og tað kunnu vit saktans innanfyri ríkisfelaggsskapin. Gloym ikki tað. |
They are often found on board ships that are registered in the DIS (Danish International Ship Register, where, for example, almost the entire Danish merchant fleet is registered). | BLARK_translated | Teir finnast fjølmentir umborð á skipum, ið er skrásett í DIS (Dansk International Skibsregister, har t.d. næstan allur danski handilsflotin er skrásettur. |
What is wrong is that the degree must be approved in Denmark. | BLARK_translated | Tað sum er galið, er at lesturin skal vera góðkendur í Danmark. |
And what, by the way, is wrong with conditions attached to SU? | BLARK_translated | Og hvat er annars galið við treytum í sambandi við SU? |
They are now almost never found on board ships within the EU anymore. | BLARK_translated | Teir finnast at kalla ikki umborð á Skipum innanfyri EU longri. |
Let us take over the ship inspection. The Danish (foreign) requirements are too strict and “unfair/impractical”. | BLARK_translated | Latum okkum yvirtaka skipasýnið.Donsku (útlendsku krøvini) eru ov strong og "óføroysk". |
So Marjun — it depends on the level one chooses to travel on, as a person and as a society. | BLARK_translated | So Marjun - tað velst um tað støðið man velir at ferðast á, sum fólk, og sum samfelag. |
With all due respect to us. There live 60 million inhabitants in Germany, and about 5 million inhabitants in each of the other countries. | BLARK_translated | Við allari virðing fyri okkum. Tað búgva 60 mió íbúgvar í Týsklandi, og einar 5 mió íbúgvar í hvørjum av hinum londunum. |
Go to the SU website, and you'll see that you won't automatically be able to take SU with you to other countries. | BLARK_translated | Far inn á heimasíðuna hjá SU, so sært tú, at tú ikki treytaleyst fært SU við tær í onnur lond. |
The People’s Party has a clear position. It estimates a self-sustaining economy with 20–25,000 inhabitants, even though in reality we have 45–46,000 inhabitants. | BLARK_translated | Fólkaflokkurin hevur greiða støðu. Hann roknar sjálvberandi búskap við 20.-25.000 íbúgvum, hóast vit í verunleikanum eru 45.-46.000 íbúgvar, |
The Republican Party says: "Responsibility", "Time of Change", which means: "We rule while the Danes pay" and "Liberation at any cost" — so we can (nowadays) think? In plain terms the party says: "Hanna can buy herself a house, a car, a boat and boathouse etc., and then she must watch/think after the 'purchase' about h... | BLARK_translated | Tjóðveldisflokkurin sigur: "Ábyrgd", "Skiftistíð", ið merkir: "Vit valda, meðan danir gjalda" og "Loysing fyri ein og hvønn prís" - tí so kunnu vit (nústaðni) hugsa?. Í greiðari merking sigur flokkurin: "Hanna kann keypa sær hús, bil, bát og neyst v.m., og so skal hon síggja/hugsa aftaná "keypið", hvussu "tað" skal gan... |
The Self-Government Party does not understand at all that Hanna is learning from her mistakes. | BLARK_translated | Sjálvstýrisflokkurin skilir als ikki, at Hanna lærir av sínum mistøkum. |
Well, Germans are not in a state partnership with Denmark, they have the same opportunities. And the Swedes and Finns, they long ago freed themselves from Denmark. But they have the same opportunities. Could it be because independent nations can negotiate and bind themselves in agreements that create the kinds of ties ... | BLARK_translated | Jamen týskarar eru ikki í ríkisfelagskapi við danmark, teir hava somu møguleikar. Og Sviar og finnar, teir hava langsíðani loyst frá danmark. Men teir hava somu møguleikar. Kann tað vera tí at sjálvstøðugar tjóðir kunnu forhandla seg'og binda seg í avtalur sum skapa sovorðnar sømdir sum tú tosar um. |
Then we can even make our own agreements that can be adapted to a Faroese need. | BLARK_translated | Tá kunnu vit enntá gera okkara egnu avtalur sum kunnu vera tilllagaðar einum føroyskum tørvi. |
If you follow our study advisers, there is probably no better study system in the world than the one we have in the Commonwealth. | BLARK_translated | Ifylgi okkara lestrarvegleiðarar, finst valla nøkur betri lestrarskipan í heiminum, enn tann vit hava í ríkisfelagsskapinum. |
Working-class children, like children of those in power, can attend school in Denmark, as elsewhere in Europe, and have financial support from Denmark with them. | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðarabørn, sum stjórabørn, kunnu lið um lið lesa í Danmark, sum aðrastaðni í Europu, og hava stuðulin úr Danmark við sær. |
Heard an interview on the radio this morning with a leader who hailed from the French capital and had the support of Denmark. Had also gotten cheap admission to the EU school. | BLARK_translated | Hoyrdi eina samrøðu í útvarpinum ímorgun, við ein føring, sum las í franska høvðusstaðnum, og hevði stuðulin við sær úr Danmark. Var eisini sloppin bíliga inn í EU skúlan. |
The same opportunities have Faroese seafarers, thanks to the red EU passport, etc. | BLARK_translated | Somu møgulleikar hava føriskir sjómenn, takka vera reyða EU-passinum osfr. |
We have such fantastically many opportunities for personal development, thanks to the platform that the national community provides for us in the global society. | BLARK_translated | Vit hava so fantastiska nógvar persónligar menningarmøgulleikar, takka verið tí pallinum sum ríkisfelagsskapurin er fyri okkum í heimssamfelagnum. |
I do not believe that we can get it better under any other system than within the unity of the realm. | BLARK_translated | Eg trúgvi ikki, at vit kunnu fáa tað betri undir nakrari aðrari skipan, enn innanfyri ríkisfelagsskapin. |
But I proceed on the assumption that we will gradually take over areas of language that cannot be taken back. | BLARK_translated | Men eg gangi inn fyri, at vit sohvørt yvirtaka málsøki,sum ikki kunnu takast aftur. |
And we can do that, once we are ready. | BLARK_translated | Og tað kunnu vit gera,so hvørt vit eru tilreiðar. |
To be in a constitutional union with Denmark, on the other hand, has great significance for our personal development opportunities, you say. | BLARK_translated | At vera í ríkisfelagsskapi við Danmark, hevur hinvegin stóran týdning fyri okkara persónligu menningarmøgulleikar", sigur tú. |
Can you elaborate on this further — especially what you mean by 'personal'? | BLARK_translated | Kanst tú útdjúpa hetta nærri - serliga hvat tú meinar við persónligu? |
Yes, united. The support is gradually decreasing. But I would prefer that we got confirmation in a document that we had supreme authority, that is, the decision-making power over all matters concerning our citizens, as soon as possible. I do not like that the decision-making power lies outside the Faroese people. | BLARK_translated | Jú, einigur. Minka studningin líðandi. Men mær hevði nú dámt best, um vit fingu staðfest við einum dokumenti, at vit høvdu evsta vald, also avgerarrættin á øllum viðurskiftum sum viðkoma okkara borgarum, sum skjótast. Mær dámar ikki at avgerarrætturin liggur uttan fyri føroyska fólkið. |
And yes, we certainly have a lot to be happy about here in the Faroe Islands. On that we are united. This must be one of the best countries in the world. But that does not mean that we cannot make it even better, of that you are surely also in agreement. | BLARK_translated | Og jú, vit hava sanniliga nógv at glaðast um her í føroyum. Har eru vit einigir. Hetta má vera eitt av teimum bestu londunum í verðini. Men tað vil ikki siga at vit ikki eisini kunnu gera tað enn betri, har ert tú sikkurt eisini einigur. |
Wouldn't it be easier to start by paying for the areas of law that have already been taken over, before everything is taken over at once? | BLARK_translated | Hevði tað ikki verið lættari, at minka byrja við at rinda fyri tey málsøki sum longu eru yvirtikin, áðrenn alt verður yvirtikið í einum? |
Yes, yes, sitting and shouting or shouting and eating dinner doesn’t create much that’s constructive by itself. I don’t think I said otherwise. So I also think that it must be reasonably prioritized in order to build the country. | BLARK_translated | Jú jú, at sita og rópa ella ropa og eta døgurðar skapar ikki nógv konstruktivt í sær sjálvum. Tað haldi eg meg heldur ikki hava sagt. So tað haldi eg eisini at tað má raðfestast skilagott fyri at byggja landið. |
Otherwise I think that you have started to use a somewhat negative tone in the discussion. That's a pity, because it makes it harder to keep it at a civil level. | BLARK_translated | Annars haldi eg at tú ert farin at nýta ein nokkso negativan tóna í kjakinum. Tað er spell, tí so blívur tað verri at halda tí á einum hampuligum støði. |
Otherwise I don't think the argumentation is really fair regarding the hospital and such. I don't think you're answering what I said properly. Shouldn't we try to talk this through as constructively as possible? | BLARK_translated | Annars haldi eg ikki at argumentatiónin er ordiliga reel viðvíkjandi sjúkrahúsinum og tí. Eg haldi ikki tú svarar tí sum eg segði ordiliga. Skulu vit ikki royna at práta hetta ígjøgnum so konstruktivt sum gjørligt. |
I just mean that we shouldn’t complain so much when we are actually among the best-off people in the world. | BLARK_translated | Eg meini bara at vit ikki skulu grenja so nógv tá vit í roynd í veru eru millum beststillaðu fólk í heiminum. |
First of all, it is a contradiction to say that we should have a self-sustaining economy within the realm with Denmark, because our economy, as it is, consists of subsidies from the Danish authorities, which also have the ultimate decision-making power over us. | BLARK_translated | Fyri tað fyrsta, so er tað ein sjálvmótsøgn at siga, at vit skulu hava ein sjálvberandi búskap í ríkisfelagsskapinum við Danmark, tí at okkara búskapur, sum er, bestendur av veitingum frá danska valdinum, sum hartil hevur evsta avgerðarrætt yvir okkum. |
Yes, as a small country, we must prioritize what is more important. | BLARK_translated | Jú,mensum eitt lítið land, mugu vit raðfesta hvat í er meira týdningarmikið. |
And with equal footing like that, we will have one vote just like all the other countries in such associations. | BLARK_translated | Og hattar við jøvnum føti, so koma vit at hava eina atkvøðu eins og øll onnur lond í slíkum felagskapum. |
There will probably always be a difference in who has greater influence, but the basic idea of democracy is precisely to give the people and the Faroes a chance to take part in making the decisions (even if we never get onto the Security Council)! | BLARK_translated | Soleiðis kemur sikkurt altíð at vera munur á hvør hevur størri ávirkan, men grundhugsanin við demokrati er væl at geva palleba og føroyum ein møguleika at vera við at taka avgerðirnar (um vit so ongantíð koma í trygdarráðið)! |
Happy. ST is an association where people get together to eat dinner and chat with each other about everything. | BLARK_translated | Fegin. ST er ein felagsskapur, har fólk koma saman at eta døgurðar og práta hvønnannan um koll. |
Large and fat leaders from poor countries walk around and flaunt themselves, while the citizens in their homeland starve. | BLARK_translated | Stórir og feitir leiðarar frá fátøkum londum, ganga runt og flotta sær, meðan borgararnir í teirra heimlandi svølta. |
And not to insult you. But a small country like the Faroe Islands will never be able to negotiate on an "equal footing" with any of the larger countries. | BLARK_translated | Og ikki fyri at fornerma teg. Men eitt lítið land sum Føroyar, kemur so ongantíð at samráðast á "jøvnum føti" við nakað av teimum størru londunum. |
I was reading a Danish newspaper (Weekendavisen) and saw there a harsh criticism of the Danish hospital system. However, this is not anything new, because when I lived down there about two years ago the same discussion was very much in the press. | BLARK_translated | Sat og las eina danska avís (weekend-avisen) og sá har ógvusligan kritik av danska sjúkrahúsverkinum. Hetta er tó ikki nakað nýtt, tí tá eg búði niðri fyri eini tveimum árum síðani var sama diskussiónin nógv frammi í pressuni. |
The only thing I want with this is to say my thought about it. | BLARK_translated | Tað einasta eg vil við hesum er at siga mína hugsan um tað. |
I would have liked it if we also tried to understand which arguments are, in principle, about sovereignty and which have other justifications. | BLARK_translated | Mær hevði dámt væl um vit eisini royndu at skilja ímiilum hvørji argument eru principielt um fullveldi og hvørji hava onnur begrundilsi. |
To be a member of the UN, EU, EFTA, and other associations we must have sovereignty. But to make the hospitals better we do not need either a state union or sovereignty; as I said, it is a question of priorities. | BLARK_translated | Fyri at vera limur í ST, EU, EFTA, og øðrum felagskapum mugu vit hava fullveldi. Men fyri at gera sjúkrahúsini betri nýtist okkum hvørki ríkisfelagskap ella fullveldi, tað er sum sagt ein spurningur um at prioritera. |
If it matters to be part of the Danish realm, I would consider it far more important to be part of, among others, the UN. As is known, the UN is much larger, more diverse and more comprehensive than the Danish realm. In addition, in the UN we would have been on equal terms with other nations; we are not in the current ... | BLARK_translated | Um tað hevur týdning at vera í danska ríkinum, so vildi eg mett at tað hevur nógv størri týdning at vera við í m.a. ST. ST er sum kunnugt nógv størri, fjølbroyttari og meira umfatandi enn danska ríkið. Harafturat høvdu vit í ST verið við á jøvnum føri við aðrar tjóðir, tað eru vit ikki sum nú er í danska ríkinum. |
So I don't quite agree with you that it has no practical importance whether we are members of the UN. Can you justify that a bit more? | BLARK_translated | So eg eri ikki heilt samdur við tær í, at tað ongan praktiskan týdning hevur um vit eru við í ST. Kanst tú begrunda tað eitt sindur meira? |
But I think that we must make it perfectly clear that the present "state union" is not an ASSOCIATION in the true sense of the word. | BLARK_translated | Men eg haldi, at vit eiga at gera okkum púra greitt, at verandi "ríkisfelagsskapur" ikki er ein FELAGSSKAPUR í orðsins røttu merking. |
In a partnership there are two or more partners, all of whom have the same rights and the same obligations. | BLARK_translated | Í einum felagsskapi eru tveir ella fleiri partar, sum allir hava somu rættindi og somu skyldur. |
The government wants a close relationship and close cooperation between an independent Faroese state and the Danish state. | BLARK_translated | Landsstýrið vil hava tætt samband og tætt samarbeiði millum ein sjálvstøðugan Føroyskan stát og Danska státin. |
That changes will be made, we know, and all Faroese people agree that it is necessary to make changes. | BLARK_translated | At broytingar verða gjørdar, vita vit, og allir føroyingar eru samdir í, at neyðugt er at gera broytingar. |
The negotiations have not progressed at all yet, and therefore there is no point in making a big fuss about these opinion polls. | BLARK_translated | Samráðingarnar eru ongan veg komnar enn, og tí er eingin meining í at gera tað stóra bruturúr hesum veljarakanningum. |
The result may be something entirely different from what has been asked about in the voter survey. | BLARK_translated | Tað úrslitið verður kanska eitt heilt annað enn tað, sum nú hevur verið spurt um í veljarakanningini. |
The question will be, among other things, whether we want to be part of a community in close cooperation with Denmark, or whether we want to be governed from Denmark (and the EU). | BLARK_translated | Spurningurin verður m.a., um vit vilja vera ein partur av einum felagsskapi í tøttum samstarvi við Danmark, ella vit vilja vera stýrdir úr Danmark (og ES). |
Being in a constitutional association with Denmark, on the other hand, has great significance for our personal development opportunities. | BLARK_translated | At vera í ríkisfelagsskapi við Danmark, hevur hinvegin stóran týdning fyri okkara persónligu menningarmøgulleikar. |
Yes, in fact it turns out that small countries, like those in the Nordic countries for example, manage better than the large ones. China has a billion people and a fantastically large area, but it doesn’t do the best in the world either. For example, Norway and Iceland do much better than China, India and Pakistan, whi... | BLARK_translated | Ja faktiskt vísir tað seg at lítil lond, sum tey í norðurlondum t.d., klára seg betri enn tey stóru. Kina er ein milliard fólk og heilt fantastiska stórt øki, men teir klára seg ikki verðins best alíkavæl. Eitt nú Noreg og Ísland klára seg hópin betri enn Kina, India og Pakistan, sum eru tey fólkaríkastu londini (so ví... |
This tells me that size cannot be the decisive factor — neither the size in population nor in area. | BLARK_translated | Hetta sigur mær somikið sum at tað ikki kann vera støddin, ið er avgerandi - hvørki støddin í fólkatali ella areali. |
I totally agree with that knowledge. But I actually think I read in Danish newspapers about two years ago that Faroese people had the highest education level in the Nordic countries. I don’t know if that’s true, but in any case it’s quick for us to change course if we want, namely because we are such a small society. I... | BLARK_translated | Hattar við vitan eri eg 100 % samdur við. Men eg meini faktiskt at hava lisið í donskum bløðum fyri eini tveimum árum síðani, at føroyingar høvdu hægsta útbúgvingarstøðið í norðanlondum. Um tað passar veit eg ikki, men tað er í øllum førum skjótt hjá okkum at broyta gongdina um vit vilja, nevniliga tí vit eru eitt so l... |
But, for that there is no reason to leave the Realm (state union). | BLARK_translated | Men,fyri tað er ongin orsøk at fara úr ríkisfelagsskapinum. |
45,000 people have, for natural reasons, limited opportunities, and the nation would be completely drowned in the global community if it chose to stand alone. | BLARK_translated | 45.000 menniskjur hava av náttúrligum orsøkum, avmarkaðar møgulleikar, og tjóðin druknar fullkomiliga í heimssamfelagnum, um hon velur at standa einsamøll. |
All administration, and all legislative work etc., does not become 1000 times cheaper, and 1000 times smaller, if we are 1000 times fewer. | BLARK_translated | Øll umsiting, og alt lóggávuarbeiði etc, verður ikki 1000 ferðir bíligari, og 1000 ferðir minni, um vit eru 1000 ferðir færri. |
And as mentioned, it is knowledge that is the foundation of modern society. And with 45,000 people, it is a too-small resource base. | BLARK_translated | Og sum nevnt, so eru tað vitan sum er grundaralagið undir nútíðarsamfelagnum. Og sum 45,000 fólk, er tað eitt ovlítið tilfeingisgrundarlag. |
Am I the only one who is upset about this and wondering? Am I way off base or is there something in what I’m saying? | BLARK_translated | Er tað bara eg sum harmist um hettar og undrast? Eri eg langt av leið ella er nakað í hesum eg sigi? |
And do all members of the Labour Party agree with the current leadership in the party? | BLARK_translated | Og eru øll javnaðarfólk samd við núverandi leiðsluni í flokkinum? |
Even though I have said that whatever happens, we should still continue to work towards a Faroe Islands with full control over itself, I will also state my position on a matter of principle for me. | BLARK_translated | Sjálvt um eg havi sagt, at líkamikið hvat sker, so skulu vit framvegis arbeiða fram ímóti einum Føroyum við fullum ræði yvir sær sjálvum, ætli eg líka at siga mína støðu um eitt principielt mál fyri mær. |
I don't think there's any question about whether we will manage or not. Of course we will. All the other countries in the Western world manage, so why shouldn't we? We have much better conditions than many other countries. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi ikki tað er nakar spurningur um vit koma at klára okkum ella ikki. Sjálvandi gera vit tað. Øll onnur lond í vesturheiminum klára seg, hví skuldu vit so ikki. Vit hava nógv betri fortreytir enn nógv onnur lond. |
And I certainly don’t think that how well we manage should be dependent on Danish money. Of course we must take care of ourselves, that’s not a question in my view. | BLARK_translated | Og, eg haldi so slettis ikki at tað skal vera treytað av donskum pengum, hvussu væl vit klára okkum. Sjálvandi skulu vit taka okkúm av okkum sjálvum, tað er ikki nakar spurningur í mínari verð. |
These were just a few principled positions on this matter. I don’t know what the others say. | BLARK_translated | Hatta var bara nakrir principiellir holdningar í hesum málinum. Eg veit ikki hvat hini siga. |
Our only raw material is still just fish. Oil/gas has still not been found in areas around the Faroe Islands. “All those small businesses that flourish everywhere could just as well be located in the Faroe Islands as anywhere else,” I agree with you completely. But why can’t we Faroese start now — nobody forbids it, on... | BLARK_translated | Okkara einasta rávøra er enn bert fiskurin. Olja/gass er enn ikki funnið við øki við Føroyar. "Allar tær smáfyritøkur, sum blóma allastaðni, kunnu eins væl standa í Føroyum sum nakra aðrastaðni", gevi eg tær púra rætt í. Men hví kunnu vit føroyingar ikki byrja nú - eingin forbjóðar tí, tvørturímóti. So hví skulu vit bí... |
Unfortunately I have no trust in the coalition parties. What have they done in this election period, aside from giving themselves 50% higher salaries and better pension conditions — absolutely nothing! Otherwise they live off pure "castles in the air" these days, like "oil income" and "other" increases of 10 percent of... | BLARK_translated | Samgonguflokkarnar havi eg tíverri einki álit á. Hvat hava teir gjørt í hesum valskeiði, uttan at givið sær sjálvum 50% meiri í løn og betri pensiónsviðurskifti - Púrt einki! Annars liva teir av reinum "luftkastellum" í hesum døgum, so sum av "oljuinntøku" og "aðra" øking við 10 prosentum á bruttotjóðarinntøkuni nú (ut... |
I do not want that kind of "politics" and have therefore taken a stand on this serious matter. I am thinking about my children. | BLARK_translated | Eg ynski ikki sovorðnan "politikk" og havi tí tikið støðu í hesum álvarsmáli. Eg hugsi um míni børn. |
I am glad that we agree to some extent at least. But I think perhaps you have misunderstood a little. | BLARK_translated | Tað gleðir meg at vit eru samdir nakað av vegnum í øllum førum. Men eg haldi kanska tú hevur misskilt eitt lítið sindur. |
Regarding the Bill Gates theory you mention, I specifically think (and tried to bring this out in the other post) that he absolutely must not relax — that is the certain downfall. I think that, like him, we must remain awake and vigilant. We have come so far toward self-sufficiency, and now we must not lose that founda... | BLARK_translated | Í sambandi við Bill Gates teoriina sum tú nevnir so haldi eg nevniliga (og royndi at fáa tað fram í hinum innlegginum) at hann fyri alt í verðini ikki má leggja seg afturá, tað er tann vissi undirgangur. Eg haldi nevniliga at vit, eins og hann, mugu vera vakin framhaldandi. Vit eru komin so langt áleiðis í sjálvbjargni... |
And I also agree with you that even if a referendum on independence is rejected, we must continue to become self-reliant. | BLARK_translated | Og eg eri eisini samdur við tær, at hóast ein fólkaatkvøða um fullveldi verður feld, mugu vit halda fram við at gerast sjálvbjargin. |
So even though my wish is that we take full sovereignty, independence or whatever we choose to call it, now. So I rejoice, even if sovereignty were to be defeated, that we have put things on the agenda that are absolutely necessary. We must follow the path of self-sufficiency, and even if that means remaining within th... | BLARK_translated | So sjálvt um mítt ynski er at vit taka fullveldi, evstavald ella hvat vit velja at kalla tað, nú. So fegnist eg, hóast fullveldið skuldi verið felt, um at vit hava sett ting á dagskránna, sum eru alneyðug. Vit mugu ganga sjálvbjargnisvegin, um tað so verður innanfyri ríkisfelagskapin nøkur ár afturat, so eiga vit at st... |
If we are to “stand on our own feet,” the Faroe Islands must have a larger revenue base, and we still only have the fishing industry to rely on! That’s perfectly clear. Can our fishing industry alone finance our household? Consider that there is still a lot to be “taken over” on loan, such as the judiciary, the prosecu... | BLARK_translated | Skulu vit "standa á egnum beinum", so mugu Føroyar hava eitt størri inntøkugrundarlag, og enn hava vit bara fiskastovnin at líta á! Tað er púra greitt. Klárar fiskivinna okkara at fíggja einsamalt okkara húsarhald? Hugsa um, at enn liggur nógv á láni at "yvirtaka", so sum dóms-, ákæruvald, løgreglu v.m. "Hetta skulu vi... |
So, it is only the Union and Social Democratic parties that admit that fishing is our only source of income?! Was it Øregaard, the deceased, and the Union men who most loudly spoke about moving the fishing limit first out to 50 and then to 200 nautical miles? Don’t you remember how your party comrades ridiculed and moc... | BLARK_translated | So, tað eru bara sambands- og javnaðarflokurin, ið ásanna, at fiskiskapur er okkara einasta inntøkugrundarlag?! Vóru tað Øregaard, sáli og sambandsmenn, ið heitastir talaðu um at flyta fiskimarkið fyrst út á 50 og síðan 200 fjórðingar? Minnist tú ikki, hvussu hesir partamenn tínir speiróku og spottaðu Erlend Patursson,... |
Now nationalists don't like concrete questions to be asked here on the site. But couldn't someone still philosophize a little about the question of where on the budget that three-digit million amount we pay in interest and repayments on loans we owe to Denmark should be found in the future? | BLARK_translated | Nú dáma tjóðveldismenn ikki at konkretir spurningar verða settir her á síðuni. Men kundi onkur so ikki filosofera eitt sindur yvir spurningin um, hvaðani á fíggjarlógini tann trísifraða milliónupphæddin, vit gjalda í rentum og avdrøgum uppá lán, vit skilda Danmark, skal finnast í framtíðini? |
I hope you are not so naive as to expect that the debt will be written off. | BLARK_translated | Eg vóni ikki, at tit eru so bláoygdir at tit vænta, at skuldin verður strika |
Finally there was someone on this site who mentioned something concrete, and not attacks on something irrelevant, but mentions the Home Rule Act, and of course this 52-year-old Home Rule Act ought to be revised. Everyone wants that, including the Social Democratic and Union Parties (see their website on the web). | BLARK_translated | Loksins var ein her á síðuni, ið nevndi nakað ítøkiligt, og ikki álop á nakað óviðkomandi, men nevnir Heimastýrislógina, og sjálvsagt eigur henda 52 ára gamla heimastýrislóg endurskoðast. Tað vilja øll, eisini Javnaðar- og Sambandsflokkurin (sí teirra heimasíðu á vevinum). |
In the 1980s the Faroes' Health Service was renovated; among other things Klaksvík and Suðuroy Hospitals were significantly refurbished — for example operating rooms and hot baths were added — but unfortunately the National Hospital was left out of it (whether local politics was the reason, I do not know, unfortunately... | BLARK_translated | Í 80'unum varð Heilsuverk Føroya umvælt, m.a. vórðu Klaksvíkar og Suðuroyar Sjúkrahús umvæld munandi, eitt nú komu skurðstovur og heitir hyljar, men Landssjúkrahúsið var tíverri við sviðið soð (Um lokal politikkur var orsøkin, veit eg ikki, tíverri), og |
“Why is there money in the coffers again?” Is it only because the fishing industry and prices are good at the moment (plus a significantly increased government appropriation in this parliamentary session), Fridtjof? | BLARK_translated | Hví pengar eru í kassanum aftur"? Er bert tí, at fiskiskapur og prísir í løtuni eru góðir (+ munandi økta ríkisveiting í hesari tingsetu), Fridtjof! |
