In summary, the government’s problem has not become the word “Nation,” but rather that our people do not dare to set the vote day on “sovereignty,” because their fear is probably that we will get the same “status” as other Nordics and that we will lose the “subsidy from the national treasury” (the block grant). | BLARK_translated | Samanumtikið so er problemið landsstýrisins ikki orðið "Tjóð", men heldur tann, at okkara menn tora ikki at áseta atkvøðudagin um "suverænitet", tí teirra ræðsla er ivaleyst, at vit fáa sama "status" sum aðrir norðurlendingar og at vit missa "landskassayirskotið" (blokkin). |
They will not get "broad support" with this initiative, in my personal opinion. | BLARK_translated | Teir fáa ikki "breiða undirtøku" við hesum stevinum er mín persónliga meting. |
Now I don't know what you mean when you say: "Well, that's what your men have always said, that we are a nation. Now they have a problem explaining it." | BLARK_translated | Nú veit eg ikki, hvat tú meinar við, tá tú sigur: "Júmen tað er tað íð tykkara menn altíð hava sagt,at vit eru ein tjóð.Nú hava teir ein forkláringstrupulleika"? |
As an ordinary Faroese person, I know that today we are "a self-governing nation" (land and people) within the framework of the Home Rule Act in a state partnership with Denmark and Greenland, and the majority of the Faroese people know this and therefore have no "identity problem." So why should our men, for example, ... | BLARK_translated | Eg sum ein vanligur føroyingur veit, at vit í dag eru "ein sjálvstýrandi tjóð" (land og fólk) innan karmar Heimastýrislógarinnar í ríkisfelagsskapi við Danmark og Grønlandi, og hetta veit meginparturin av føroya fólki og hava tí ongan "identitetstrupulleika". So Hví skulu okkara menn, eitt nú biða ein fólkatingslim spy... |
The government’s problem is not: “no permission to ask the UN about anything” or “NATO” etc. No, this is rather to avoid deciding on the voting day about “sovereignty” (full sovereignty) in my opinion. | BLARK_translated | Landsstýrisins problem er ikki: "ikki loyvi at spyrja ST um nakað" ella "NATO" o. l. Nei, hetta er fyri at snúgva sær undan at áseta atkvøðudagin um "fullveldi" (fullan suverænitet)eftir mínum tykki. |
Our people must know that "Fullveldi" (sovereignty) is something we take without asking anyone. Denmark promised us a four-year transition period, and if I remember correctly, Nyrup said that our living conditions after sovereignty would come to resemble those of the Scots and the Portuguese. | BLARK_translated | Okkara menn eiga at vita, at "Fullveldi" (suverænitet) er nakað vit taka, uttan at spyrja nakran eftir. Danmark hevur lovað okkum 4-ára skiftistíð og minnist meg rætt, so segði Nyrup, at okkara livifótur eftir fullveldi fór at líkjast tí skotska, portugisiska livifótinum. |
1) Why should our men have "a third party in the negotiations as an observer"? | BLARK_translated | 1) Hví skulu okkara menn skulu hava "en tredjepart ind i forhandlingerne som observatør"? |
I think this is meant to create a dispute between the Faroe Islands and Denmark, because I am certain that our people know what “constitutional” position we are in and that nothing will come of a “dispute.” (Our people would probably have backed down if the UN had come into the negotiations, because “What now? In a 4-y... | BLARK_translated | Hetta er eftir mínum tykki, at skapa klandur Føroyar og Danmarkar millum, tí eg eri vís í, at okkara menn vita, hvørja "ríkisrættarliga" støðu vit eru í og at við "klandri" koma teir ongan veg. (Okkara menn høvdu ivaleyst bakka um ST kom uppí samráðingarnar, tí "Hvat nú? Um 4 ára skiftistíð er nóg mikið + hava fingið 9... |
2) Our men say: "in connection with a government official in the cabinet asking the UN a question.? So we know that it was not a question from the ordinary Faroese person, but on the contrary a political question, and our men know, as stated, what "constitutional" position we are in | BLARK_translated | 2) Okkara menn siga: ". i forbindelse med at en embedsmand i landsstyret stillede FN et spørgsmål.? So vita vit, at tað ikki var ein spurningur frá tí vanliga føroyinginum, men tvørturímóti ein politiskur spurningur, og okkara menn vita sum sagt, hvørja "ríkisrættarliga" støðu vit eru í |
3) I do not know in what context the Prime Minister was supposed to meet the Secretary General of NATO, and therefore I do not really have an answer to this question. | BLARK_translated | 3) Eg veit ikki í hvørjum sambandi løgmaður skuldi hitta aðalskrivaran í NATO, og tí havi eg heldur einki svar uppá henda spurning. |
4) I am Faroese and very good at my mother tongue, but to be honest, I speak and write Faroese at home, yet I neither speak nor write Faroese on an international level, so this question of "the Faroese language is the national language of the Faroe Islands" has no significance in my daily life, because I have that righ... | BLARK_translated | 4) Eg eri føroyingur og eri ógvuliga góð við mítt móðurmál, men rætt skal vera rætt, at eg tosi og skrivi á føroyskum her heima, men eg hvørki tosi ella skrivi føroyskum á internationalum plani, so hesin spurningur um at "det færøske sprog er Færøernes nationalsprog" hevur ongan týdning í mínum daglig degi, tí hendan r... |
We are not a nation, seen with Danish eyes. We will not receive any sovereignty under the government’s current proposal. With a referendum it will be approved. If the proposal is passed by a majority vote it will be invalidated under one or another pretext; if we then have not established that we are a nation, we canno... | BLARK_translated | Vit eru ikki ein tjóð,sæð við donskum eygumvit fáa ikki nakran suverenitet undir núverandi uppskotið hjá landsstírinum,við eina fólkaatkvøðu,verður tað góðtikið.Fær uppskotið meiriluta við atkvøðu verður hon ógylda,undir einum ella øðrum páskotið;hava vit tá ikki staðfest at vit eru ein tjóð,fáa vit onki gjørt við hett... |
If we get confirmation that we are a nation, we negotiate on equal terms with the Danes, and they then cannot disregard a majority in the Faroe Islands, like they did in 1946. Time is necessary for us, especially to show that we are a nation, otherwise we will not get any further. | BLARK_translated | Fáa vit staðfest at vit eru ein tjóð,forhandla vit á jøvnum føti við danir,og kunnu teir tá ikki síggja burtur frá einum meiriluta í Føroyum,eins og teir gjørdu í 1946.Tíð er neyðugt hjá okkum,staðiliga at vísa á at vit eru ein tjóð,vti koma ikki víðari annars. |
When the negotiations began, it was welcomed that we negotiated on equal terms, under conditions of international law; shortly thereafter Nyrup began to explain that we did not have the characteristics of statehood under international law. | BLARK_translated | Tá forhandlingarnar byrjaðu,varð góðtikið at vit forhandlaðu á jøvnum føti,undir fólkarættarligum treytum,fyri kortum byrjaði Nyrup at greiða frá,at vit ikki høvdu fólkarættligar eginleikar. |
AS LONG AS WE HAVE NOT CONFIRMED THIS TO NYRUP, AND TO THE NATION, exactly the same thing will happen as happened in 1946, if Nyrup will not get rid of the Faroe Islands under any circumstances. | BLARK_translated | SO LEINGI VIT IKKI HAVA STAðFEST HETTAR YVIRFYRI NYRUP,OG ALTJÓðASAMFELAGNUM,fer akkurát tað sama at henda,íð hendi 1946,tíð Nyrup vil ikki av við Føroyar undir nøkrum umstøðum. |
It is the Faroese government that is now playing with our sense of nationhood and “quarreling” with the Danes, because they do not dare to solve things, but for them to be so mean-spirited as to claim that “the Faroese are afraid of a four-year term of office,” they ought to receive such a “scarcity lash” that it would... | BLARK_translated | Tað er Føroya Landsstýri, ið nú spælir við okkara tjóðskaparkenslu og "klandrast" við danir, tí teir tora ikki at loysa, men so tað, at teir eru so nasadjarvir at loyva sær at bera fram "at føroyingar eru ræddir við 4-ára skiftistíð", áttu teir at fingið eina sovorðna "skortflongju" fyri at tað skuldi sviðið leingi aft... |
Otherwise a solution is not something one gets, but takes, without asking anyone for it, not even Nyrup. | BLARK_translated | Annars er loysing ikki nakað ein fær, men tekur, uttan at spyrja nakran eftir, heldur ikki Nyrup. |
I don't know who has informed you about the referendum, but someone is lying to you about it. | BLARK_translated | Eg veit ikki hvør hevur upplýst teg um fólkaatkvøðuna,men har hevur onkur logi fyri tær. |
There was never any doubt that the referendum would be binding, but they had not anticipated a majority in favour of independence. | BLARK_translated | Tað varð ongantíð ivi um,at fólkaatkvøðan varð bindandi,men teir høvdu ikki rokna við meiriluta fyri loysing. |
What is this nonsense about a qualified majority? There was a majority for it, and those who sit at home or do not vote have no influence, that's just how it is. | BLARK_translated | Hvat er hattar fyri tvætl við kvalifiseraðum meiriluta?Har varð meiriluti fyri,og tey íð sita heima og ella ikki velja hava onga ávirkan,tað er bara so. |
If we now held a referendum on whether we should continue to be together with Denmark, what would then be a qualified majority? 35% of the voters? That is what happened in ’46. Union supporters claimed that turnout was too low, and that all those who had not voted were union supporters. | BLARK_translated | Um vit nú skrivaðu út fólkaatkvøðu,um vit framhaldandi skula verða saman við Danmark,hvat er tá ein kvalifiseraður meiriluti? 35 % av veljarunum?Tað varð tað sum hendi í 46.Sambandsfólk pástanda at luttøkan varð ov lítil,og at øll tey í ikki høvdu valt vóru sambandsfólk. |
That was it, when the Danish star, and our men agreed before they began to negotiate that we negotiate on the basis of international law, but now our men had taken the shift time off the schedule, and then Nyrup had to come up with something else to create a distraction, and he has succeeded well at first glance. If yo... | BLARK_translated | Tað varð tað,íð danska stjørnin,og okkara menn vóru einigir um,áðrenn teir byrjaðu at forhandla um vit forhandla á fólkarættarligum støði,men nú høvdu okkara menn tikið skiftistíðina av skránni,og so mátti Nyrup finna uppá okkurt annað at skapa rok við,og tað hevur eydnast honum væl í fyrstu syftu.Hevði tú nakran rygg,... |
As far as I know the dispute also turned on “not a qualified majority”, what that then is, whether it is the turnout itself or whether it would be the votes that would have to be 55–60%, I am not sure, so whether this is nonsense or someone has lied to me, I cannot count the days in between, unfortunately. | BLARK_translated | Mær vitandi snúðið ósemjan seg eisini um "ikki ein kvalifiseraðan meiriluta", hvat tað so er, um tað er sjálv valluttøkan ella um tað vóru atkvøðurnar, ið skuldu vera 55-60%, eri eg ikki vís í, so um hetta er tvætl ella onkur hevur logið fyri mær, kann eg ikki telja dagar í millum, tíverri. |
I am aware that the negotiations are to take place "on equal terms" and/or with "mutual respect", and in my view the outcome of the negotiations is as follows: | BLARK_translated | Eg eri vitandi um, at samráðingarnar skulu fara fram "á jøvnum føti" og/ella við "gensidig respekt", og samráðingarúrslitið er eftir míni áskoðan soleiðis: |
2) Meeting: Returned home very satisfied. Had gotten 90% of the proposed agreement fulfilled, and now only “the heavy ball” remained, i.e. the financial part. | BLARK_translated | 2) Fundur: Komu heimaftur vælnøgdir. Høvdu fingið 90% av sáttmálauppskotinum uppfylt, og nú var bara "tann tungi bólturin" eftir, t.v.s. tann fíggjarligi parturin. |
3) Meeting: Returned dissatisfied. They had offered the Danes "oil", so that we could get a longer rotation period, i.e. 15 years. The Danes showed this offer of "oil", and our men were convinced that "the Danes do not want to negotiate" (ST and an Icelandic specialist have since become involved in the matter). | BLARK_translated | 3) Fundur: Komu heimaftur misnøgdir. Høvdu bjóða dønum "olju", soleiðis at vit kundu fáa eina longri skiftistíð, t.v.s. í 15 ár. Hesum tilboðið um "olju" sýttu danir fyri, og okkara menn vóru sannførdir um, at "Danir vilja ikki samráðast" (ST og íslendskur serfrøðingur eru síðan komið uppí málið). |
4) Meeting: Return home? Now it’s decided. The Danes do not want to recognize us as a “nation on the basis of international law”? | BLARK_translated | 4) Fundur: Koma heimaftur? Nú stendur fast. Danir vilja ikki viðurkenna okkum, sum "Tjóð á fólkarættarligum grundarlagi"? |
This is my opinion on the negotiation result. What is yours? | BLARK_translated | Hetta er so mín áskoðan á samráðingarúrslitinum. Hvat er tín? |
Now I was so hopeful you forgive me. | BLARK_translated | Nú varð eg í so drúgv vónandi fyrigevur tú mær. |
Here you can see it again, that it looks like you live in Denmark; if you did that, I would better understand your point of view. | BLARK_translated | Her sær man tað aftur,at tað sær út sum tú býrt í Danmark,tíð at gjørt tú tað,so skilji eg betur tíni sjónarmið. |
If you have only read articles in Danish newspapers, and editorials in Dimma, then you don't know — I don't believe this — you enjoy those pages so much that you have probably taken viewpoints from both sides. The conclusion must be that you have chosen to believe what the Danes say, and what our men say is the pitch-b... | BLARK_translated | Um tú bert hevur lisið greinar í donskum avísum,og oddagreinar í Dimmu,so veitst tú ikki eg trúgvi ikki hesum,tú trívist so væl á hesum síðum,at tú hevur helst fingi sjónarmið frá báðum síðum.Niðurstøðan má verða at tú hevur vælt at trúgva tí íð danir siga,og tað íð okkara menn siga er tann kóllsvørt lygn. |
What you repeat about the negotiations proves that you only believe the time the Danes say, and trample your own countrymen underfoot. | BLARK_translated | Tað tú endurgevur,um samráðingarnar,prógvar at tú trýr bert tíð íð danir siga,og traðkar tínar egnu landsmenn undir fótum. |
What I mean about the negotiations I have already explained quite clearly to you earlier on this page, so I don’t have the energy/time to do it again now. | BLARK_translated | Hvat eg meini um samráðingarnar,havi eg grundgivið nóg greidliga fyri fyri tær fyrr her á síðuni,so eg tími ikki at gera hettar einaferð afturat. |
Such people have not received respect anywhere in the world, but a small part of the people of the Faroe Islands kisses the ring together with them. | BLARK_translated | Slík fólk hava ikki fingið virðing nakrastaðni í heiminum,men ein lítil partur av Føroya fólki,kyssur koyrilin saman við teimum. |
My view is that if we want to separate from Denmark, then we should separate and ask no one, not even the Danish government, and therefore it is completely out of the question for us to occupy ourselves (complain) that the Danes are as unreasonable as is at all possible and their “pompousness” etc., in my opinion. | BLARK_translated | Mín áskoðan er, at vilja vit loysa frá Danmørkini, so loysa vit, og spyrja ongan eftir, heldur ikki donsku stjórnu, og tí er tað púra burturvið av okkum, at taka okkum av (grenja um), at danir eru so tvørligir sum yvirhøvur tilber og teirra "forhálingunum" v.m. eftir mínum tykki. |
But on the other hand, if the Danes do not accept that a majority is in favor of independence after the referendum, then the international community must step in, even if it has to be with blood and sweat, because they must/should recognize a majority, just like you and I. | BLARK_translated | Men hinvegin, um danir ikki viðurkenna, at ein meiriluta er fyri loysing eftir fólkaatkvøðuna, ja, so skal heimssamfelagið uppí, um tað so skuldi verið við blóð og sveitta, tí teir skulu/eiga at viðurkenna ein meiriluta, eins eg og tú. |
If it were so that the “step-by-step” policy did not gain support, but only the policy of the current Government did, I in any case would not have put the bloc “on the book,” because this, in my opinion, is just dressing oneself up “in borrowed plumes” and would not have given me personally anything, for example “highe... | BLARK_translated | Um so var, at "stig fyri stig" politikkurin ikki fekk undirtøku, men einans politikkur hjá núsitandi Landsstýri, so hevði eg í øllum førum ikki sett blokkin "inn á bók", tí hetta er eftir mínum tykki at pynta seg "í lånte fjer" og tíðans heldur ikki givið mær sjálvum, eitt nú "hægri løn + pensión" og "nýtt tinghús", "u... |
My political ideal is the "step-by-step" approach, and here I and the coalition are completely at odds, and probably because of that, I handle our Government poorly, i.e., their policy on the independence issue. | BLARK_translated | Mítt politiska hugsjón er "stig fyri stig" politikkurin, og her eru eg og samgongan rúkandi ósamd, og ivaleyst tí, fari eg "illa" við okkara Landsstýri, t.v.s. teirra førda politikki í fullveldismálinum. |
Yes, I am proud of my mother tongue and of being Faroese, and no one gets to play with my sense of national identity, neither this way nor that. To whom should I give thanks? Of course to the men who fought for this. It is certainly not our current government that deserves the credit for this. | BLARK_translated | Ja, eg eri glað fyri mítt móðurmál og at vera føroyingur, og eingin sleppur at spæla við mína tjóðskaparkenslu, hvørki so ella so. Hvørjum eg skal takka? Sjálvsagt teimum monnum, ið bardust fyri hesum. Tað er so ikki okkara núsitandi Landsstýri, ið eigur æruna av hesum. |
I don’t know which party you voted for before, but you have never been a supporter of self-government; you have written a lot on this page, but not a trace of national sentiment to be seen anywhere. | BLARK_translated | Ikki veit eg hvønn flokk tú hevur vælt fyrr,men sjálvstýrisfólk hevur tú ongantíð verði,tú hevur skriva eina rúgvu á hesari síðu,men ikki farrin av tjóðskaparkenslu at hóma nakrastaðni. |
You are proud to be good with the language; it is unfortunately easy for you to say that now, but the dark legacy you are a descendant of ruined many back then and does the same today. You may have once tipped some party on the right toward the center, but a self-rule person? No — you have never been one. | BLARK_translated | Tú breggjar tær av,at verða góð við málið,tað er óluksáliga lætt hjá tær,at siga tað nú,men tað svarta afturhaldi,í tú ert eftirkomari av,oyðilegði eina rúgvu tá,og ger tað sama í dag.Tú hevur møguliga vælt onkran flokk røttu megin miðjuna fyrr,men sjálvstýrisfólk?nei tað hevur tú ongantíð verið. |
Why are you running after the man/woman; why not after the ball instead? | BLARK_translated | Hví rennur tú eftir manninum/kvinnuni, hví ikki heldur eftir bóltinum? |
I really can’t see anything wrong with us getting the same “status” as other Nordics after independence. What do you see that’s wrong with that? | BLARK_translated | Eg dugi so ikki at síggja nakað skeivt í, at vit fáa sama "status" sum aðrir norðurlendingar eftir loysing. Hvat skeivt sært tú í hesum? |
Like a red thread running through his writing, the problem is that Denmark (Nyrup) is to blame for everything. | BLARK_translated | Sum ein reyður tráður ígjøgnum sína skriving, so er trupulleikin tann, at Danmark (Nyrup) hevur skyldina í øllum. |
Nyrup has, of course, said clearly and plainly: If the Faroese want independence, then we will get independence, even with a 4-year transition period + 90% of the draft agreement according to the Faroese Government. Here one simply needs to set a referendum to clarify this. | BLARK_translated | Nyrup hevur jú sagt klárt og greitt: Ynskja føroyingar loysing, so fáa vit loysing, enntá við 4 ára skiftistíð + 90% av sáttmálauppskotinum samb. Føroya Landsstýri. Her skal so bara ásetast ein fólkaatkvøða fyri at fáa greiðu á hesum. |
Does the Faroese Government have any problem at all with asking other Nordic countries, for example an Icelandic expert, whether we are a nation? (Where the answer was obvious and, as we all knew, that we have all the characteristics of being a nation). | BLARK_translated | Føroya Landsstýri hevur ongan sum helst trupulleika, at spyrja onnur norðurlond, eitt nú íslendskan serfrøðing um vit eru ein tjóð? (Har svarið var sjálvsagt og sum vit øll vóru vitandi um at vit hava øll eyðkenni at vera ein tjóð). |
So the question is: Why doesn’t the Faroese Government ask other Nordic countries (experts) whether what “Nyrup” is doing is right or wrong? | BLARK_translated | So spurningurin er: Hví spyr Føroya Landsstýri so ikki onnur norðanlond (serfrøðingar) um, um tað er rætt ella skeivt, ið "Nyrup" ger? |
Our men, in my opinion, do not dare to accept Nyrup's offer, and so they are now turning everything upside down. I think this shows that the shame is complete for us. | BLARK_translated | Okkara menn tora ikki at taka av Nyrupsa tilboðið eftir mínum tykki, og tí venda teir nú alt á høvdið. Eg haldi at hetta vísir, at skommin fullborin fyri okkum. |
I am trying to point out that today Danish institutions explain thousands of “things” for Faroese people. These “things” are something like a sovereignty that cannot exist without them. | BLARK_translated | Eg royni at vísa á at í dag greiða danskir stovnar í tusundavís av "tingum" fyri føroyingum. Hesi "tingini" eru nakað eitt fullveldi ikki kan verða fyri uttan. |
Have you forgotten how Kristian Magnussen and Óli Jacobsen, that idiot, blamed each other during the last time when Jóannes Eidesgård resigned from the government halfway through his term, when he was the leader? Or how Sámal Petur í Grund was undermined by Edmund Joensen, who caused the Self-Government Party to be dri... | BLARK_translated | Havur tú gloymt hvussu Kristian Magnussen og Óli Jacobsen,hin idioturin klandraðust undir síðstu hvussu Jóannes Eidesgård rýmdi úr landsstýrinum í hálvum gekki,tíð hann varð fornermaður?Ella hvussu Sámal Petur Í Grund varð sekkjaður av Edmund Joensen,íð hevði við sær at sjálvstýrisflokkurin rímdi úr tí samgonguni?So vá... |
Once again the Danish prime minister has shown himself to be an imperialist of the worst kind. | BLARK_translated | Enn einferð hevur danski forsætisráðharrin víst seg sum imperialist av ringasta slag. |
He does not regard us as equal to a nation. Faroese are not “subjects of international law” according to the common Danish understanding. Not because most people didn’t already know that. But now it is so firmly established! | BLARK_translated | Hann virðir okkum ikki so frætt sum tjóð. Føroyingar eru ikki "folkeretlsig objekt" eftir almennari danskari fatan. Ikki tí, hetta vistu tey flestu. Men nú er tað so sligið rimmarfast! |
Unbelievable that the leadership in the Social Democratic Party shamelessly runs errands for this swine dog | BLARK_translated | Ótrúligt, at leiðslan í javnaðarflokkinum fyrilitarleyst gongur ørindi fyri handan svínhundin |
Poul N. talks so often about the “Realm/Commonwealth” and how much he wants the Faroe Islands to be a part of it. Poul ought to know that a territorial division that has no rights in international law cannot be a part of a “Realm/Commonwealth”; rather, it can be a part of the “Kingdom” or the “Danish Realm.” | BLARK_translated | Poul N. tosar so ofta um "Rigsfællesskabet" og hvussu gjarna hann vil hava at Føroyar er ein partur av hesum. Poul átti at vita at ein landspartur ið ongi rættindi hevur í altjóða høpi, ikki kann verða ein partur av einum "Rigsfællesskab"; men har aftur ímóti ein partur av "Riget" ella "Det danske Rige". |
It should come as no surprise to anyone that Nyrup says he does not acknowledge the Faroe Islands as a "separate subject of international law." We do not think that, and if anyone believes that, they do not know what we are talking about. Or Nyrup is always automatically wrong. | BLARK_translated | Tað kann ikki koma óvart á nakran at Nyrup sigur at hann ikki viðkennir Føroyar sum "Et selvstændigt folkerets subjekt". Tað eru vit ikki og um onkur heldur tað, so vita tey ikki hvat vit tosa um. Ella tekur Nyrup altíð pr. automatik feil. |
The only right thing was for the Government to tell Nyrup and co. to thank Margrethe for the time and otherwise go take a hike. It's unbelievable how passive our leaders are. We should have gone out to Tinganes and chased the class-actor off the balcony. Otherwise, to come back down to earth, what if the leaders said t... | BLARK_translated | Tað einasta rætta var at Landstyrið bað Nyrup og co. takka Margretu fyri tíðina og annars kissa seg eitt vist stað. Tað ótrúðligt sum vit føringar eru passifiseraðir. Vit skuldu havt veri úti á Tinganesi og blaka klasseksdrongin á blámann. Annars, fyri at koma niður aftur á jørðina, Hvat nú um føringar søgdu takk fyri ... |
I have often asked whether the individual Faroese person would gain increased freedom if we became a sovereign state. | BLARK_translated | Eg havi mangan spurt um tann einstaki føroyingurin fær økt frælsi um vit verða ein suvirenur statur. |
As Faroese people we have the most practical rights in the Faroe Islands, Denmark and Greenland. These rights are being curtailed. We then come under the same rights as the other Nordic countries. | BLARK_translated | Sum Føroyingur hava vit tey best gjørligu rættindi í Fø, Dk og Grønlandi. Hesi rættindi verða skerd. Vit koma tá undir somu rættindi sum hini Norðurlondini. |
Icelanders cannot be made EU citizens if they want that. They would have to live in Denmark for years just to approach the rights that Faroese have today. | BLARK_translated | Íslendingar kunnu ikki gerða ES borgarar um teir ynskja tað. Teir skulu búgva í Danmark í áravís bert fyri at nærkast teimum rættindinum føroyingar í dag hava. |
I understand your answer to mean that we agree Faroese people have more opportunities than citizens of other countries. To me, freedom is having opportunities — that is, being able to choose for myself what and how I want to do something. | BLARK_translated | Eg skilji svar títt soleiðis at vit eru samdir um at føroyingar hava fleri vælmøguleikar enn borgarar í øðrum londum. Fyri meg er frælsi at hava vælmøguleikar, altso sjávlur sleppa at velja hvat og hvussu eg vil gera okkurt. |
Now it is such that we make fishing industry agreements with other countries, a trade agreement with the Russians, resolve market disputes with the UK. All more or less in cooperation with Copenhagen. We have the freedom to expand this cooperation, and gradually increase our self-sufficiency.

Alt meira ella minni í samstarvi við KBH. Vit hava frælsi at útbyggja hetta samstarv, og eftir hondini økja um okkara sjálvbjargni. Tað skert ikki burtur at nógv ekspertica liggur í skrivistovunum hjá ... |
Now it is such that I do not suffer from unfounded inferiority feelings; I know Faroese is my mother tongue. I am not in any way subjugated by oppression from Denmark or anything else. I am not in any identity crisis when I feel myself to be Faroese; I probably have it better than the inhabitants of most of the countri... | BLARK_translated | Nú er tað soleiðis at eg ikki líði av ógrundaum minnilutakenslum, eg veit føroyskt er móðurmál mítt. Eg eri ikki á nakran hátt niðurundirkomin av kúan frá Danmark ella øðrum. Eg eri ikki í nakrari identitetskrisu tá eg kenni meg sum føroying, eg havi tað helst betri enn íbúgvarnir í flest teimun londum sum eru vorðin f... |
It's about seeing reality in the eye. A flagpole in New York will not provide any more good options than we already have. | BLARK_translated | Tað snýr seg um at sýggja verðuleikan í eyguni. Ein flaggstong í New York vil ikki geva fleiri vælmøguleikar sum vit ikki longu hava. |
If we have any timely question to put to the UN or NATO, it can undoubtedly be done without problems through the channels that have been used over the past 50 years. | BLARK_translated | Um vit hava onkran tíðandi spurning at seta ST ella NATO, so kann tað uttan iva gerðast uttan trupulleikar gjøgnum tær rásinar sum eru brúktar tey seinastu 50 árini. |
Funny that you mention Hetland. Yes, there we see how lucky we are. How much the Faroe Islands have developed in the last 50 years while it looks like others have stayed in the same place. | BLARK_translated | Stuttligt tú nevnir Hetland. Ja har síggja vit hvussu heppin vit eru. Hvussu nógv hevur Føroya land ikki ment seg tey seinastu 50 árini meðan tað sær út sum hini hava staði í stað. |
Otherwise I would like to know what concrete possibilities full sovereignty gives in practice. Not big words about "being able to look others in the eye." No — just some examples of what changes would occur that cannot be implemented under a modern form of home rule. | BLARK_translated | Annars so vil eg gjarna vita hvørjir konkretir møguleikar eitt fullveldi gevur í praksis. Ikki stór orð um at vit "kunnu sýggja onnur í eyguni". Nei bara nøkur dømi um hvørjar broytingar verða, sum ikki kunnu gjøgnumførast undir einari nútímansgjørdari heimastýrisskipan. |
That Shetland has been lost is a sign that they lack self-respect politically; in other words there are far too many unionists there. If only we had unionists in the Faroes, you know Jógvan, we would still have the Royal monopoly, we would not have had our Faroese language, we would not have had our own flag, and many ... | BLARK_translated | Tað at Hetland er blivi burtur,er tíð teir mangla sjálvsvirðing tjóskaparliga,altso ov nógvir sambandsmenn eru har.Høvdu vit bert havt sambandsmenn í Føroyum,Veitst tú Jógvan.at vit høvdu framvegis havt Kongiliga einahandilin,vit høvdu ikki havt okkara Føroyska mál,vit høvdu ikki havt okkara egna flagg,og mangt mangt a... |
We can also take a country like Chechnya; they have one of the richest oil regions if you look at how they dress and arm themselves. A thirty-year-old man does not have a single tooth in his mouth and looks like an old man. The women walk like old grandmothers, in worn clothes and rubber boots, like our ancestors dress... | BLARK_translated | Vit kunnu eisini taka eitt land sum Tjetjenia,teir hava eitt tað stórsta oljuríkidømi í tú sæð hvussu tey ganga ílatin haryviri?Ein tretivu ára gamal maður hevur ikki eina einastu tonn í heysinum,og sær út sum ein oldingi.Konufólkini ganga sum gamlar ommur,við turriklæði og gummistúvlum,sum okkara forfedrar gingu ílati... |
It would have been the same for us if we had only contacts in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Soleiðis hevði eisini verði hjá okkum,um vit bara høvdu sambandsfólk í føroyum. |
Otherwise he could have tried asking Høgni Hoydal whether he is Danish or Faroese? Now it has become the greatest taboo to ask in the east and the west of this government who I am? Oh, this nonsense. I can’t take it anymore. Step down as soon as possible, so we Faroese can get out of this disgraceful situation that thi... | BLARK_translated | Annars kundi hann roynt at spurt Høgna Hoydal, um hann er dani ella føroyingur? Nú tað er vorðin hægsti móti at spyrja í eyst og vest hjá hesum landsstýri, hvør eg eri? Åh, dett møsn. eg orki meir. leggið frá tykkum sum skjótast, so vit føroyingar sleppa burtur úr hesi vanæriligu støðuni, sum hetta ólukku stýri hevur f... |
The core of the matter is simply that, according to Danish terminology, the Faroe Islands are by no means a country and the Faroese are by no means a people/nation. | BLARK_translated | Kjarnan í málinum er nú einaferð tann, at sambart danskari termologi eru Føroyar als ikki eitt land og føroyingar als ikki eitt fólk/tjóð. |
Quisling was also happy to cooperate with the occupying power, but that did not make what he did any more right. | BLARK_translated | Quisling varð eisini glaður fyri at samarbeiða við hersetingarvaldinum,tað gjørdi ikki tað hann gjørdi rættari. |
P.S. The reason I start with small letters is most likely because I've been writing quite quickly, and you must forgive me — I can write Faroese reasonably well. I see many mistakes on these pages, and not only mine. | BLARK_translated | Viðv.At byrja við lítlum stavum,er allarhelst tí at eg havi havt nakað nógva ferð á við skrivingini,og har mást tú orsaka meg eg dugi at skriva føroyskt ræði,eg síggji nógvar villur á hesum síðum,og ikki bert hjá mær. |
When you start getting filthy in your writing, I must admit that I thought Norwegians dealt with all of your kind, together with Quisling after the war, but someone is going around in puff (a derogatory term). | BLARK_translated | Tá tú byrjar at blíva svínskur í skriving tíni,so má eg viðganga,at eg helt at normenn gjørdu av við allar av tínum slag,saman við Quisling eftir kríggji,men onkur gongur eftir púff. |
Go to the sovereignty page, click on us, and there that question stands — that another equally uninformed person like you has asked about EU rights. Click on the text, and you see that we have no rights if we get sovereignty; can we make an EEA agreement that gives us the same rights as the Icelanders? | BLARK_translated | Far inn á fillveldissíðuna,klikk á oss,og har stendur hasin spurningurin,íð ein annar líka óupplýstur sum tú hevur sett um ES Rættindir,klikk á tekstin,og tú sært at vit hava ongi rættindi í fáa vit fullveldi,kunna vit gera eina ebs avtalu,íð gevur okkum somu rættindi sum Íslendingar. |
Show me a single Icelander (under 83 years old) who has more opportunities in Denmark or the EU than a Faroese person. | BLARK_translated | Vís mær á ein einstakan íslending (undir 83 ár) sum hevur fleiri møkuleikar í Danamark ella ES enn ein Føroyingur. |
Now the independence coalition has played 110% rottenly, step aside, let the people speak — this is the only right thing you can do. No independence this time, you have run yourself completely aground politically, the main issue has fallen to the floor, you don't know even once whether we are Faroese or not, you have p... | BLARK_translated | Nú hevur fullveldissamgongan spælt 110% fallitt leggið frá tykkum, latið fólkið tala hetta er tað einasta rætta tit kunnu gera. Onki fullveldi á hesum sinni, tit hava rent tykkum púrasta fastar politiskt, høvuðsmálið er dottið á gólvið, tit vita ikki ein ganga um vit eru føroyingar ella ikki tit hava bumbað okkum langt... |
Oh dear, oh dear, you are desperate! While WE fully know who we are, it is the hypocrisy of YOU, that badly-spoken Nyrup who does not accept either you or me as Faroese. | BLARK_translated | Á dú, á dú neyðars tú! Meðan VIT fullvæl vita hvørji vit eru, er tað kammiráturin hjá TÆR tann illa lýddi Nyrup sum ikki góðtekur hvørki teg ella meg sum føroying. |
Keep your thoughts, Mr. democrat, that we should abandon plans for freedom for the Faroese nation, because Denmark has not granted us this obvious right. | BLARK_translated | Helda tygun,harra javnaðarmaður, at vit skulu sleppa ætlanum um frælsi fyri føroysku tjóðina, tí at Danmark ikki unnir okkum hendan eyðsædda rætt. |
Now you will no doubt say that the Danes have said that if we choose freedom, then we will get freedom. | BLARK_translated | Nú vilja tygum ivaleyst siga, at danir hava sagt, at velja vit frælsi, so fáa vit frælsi. |
Jóannes Ej. has shown himself to be a two-timing idiot in this whole matter. | BLARK_translated | Jóannes Ej. hevur víst seg sum ein 2talan idiot í øllum hesum málinum. |
We all remember the fuss about Jóannes, sold a house in Suðuroy and “illegally” received travel money. What is wrong with the man — does he have no morals? | BLARK_translated | Vit minnast øll gøluna um Jóannes, seld hús í Suðri og "ólóligt" móttiknan ferðapening. Hvat er galið við manninum hevur hann ongan moral? |
We are not bombed at all; everything that has always been there is still there — tell that to Nyrup, he is the one who came with this. | BLARK_translated | Vit eru ikki bumbaðir nakað sum helst eftir eru har vit altíð hava verði,sig tað við Nyrup,tað er hann íð kom við hasum. |
Every person is created with a natural urge to govern themselves and their own affairs. | BLARK_translated | Eitthvørt menniskja er skapt við einari náttúrligari trongd at stýra sær sjálvum,og sínum egnu viðurskiftum. |
But some do not have these qualities; we must also be good at listening when they are mocked for not having these traits that God has given to almost everyone who is alive — then one is severely tested. | BLARK_translated | Men nøkur hava ikki hesi evni,vit mugu eisini verða góð við at hoyra tey gabba av at tey ikki hava hesar eginleikar,íð gúð hevur givið næstan øllum livandi,tá verður man hart prøvaður. |
It is not easy to, for example, go to war when some in your own side lie and shoot their own backs, blessedly stop boasting about how derailed you are, how deep one can sink. | BLARK_translated | Tað er ikki lætt at fara tildømis í kríggj,tá nakrir í tínum egna parti liggja ó skjóta sínar egnui ryggin,vælsignaður halt uppat at reypa av hvussu avsporaður tú ert,hvussu djúpt kann man søkka. |
It pleases me as a Faroese person that the Danes have finally publicly announced that they do not consider us Faroese to be a nation. That way their union and Social Democratic people also understand their position. | BLARK_translated | Tað gleðir meg sum føroyingur at danir umsíðir alment hava boðað frá, at teir ikki halda okkum føroyingar vera eina tjóð. So kenna eisini sambands- og javnaðarfólk teirra støðu. |
We supporters of self-government have always thought we knew better, but every time we have taken it upon ourselves to criticize it, we are labeled one thing or another by both Social Democrats and unionists. | BLARK_translated | Vit sjálvstýrisfólk hava altíð vitað betur, men hvørja ferð vit hava dittað okkum at átala tað, eru vit skírdir bæði eitt og annað av javnaðar- og sambandsfólki. |
You should be feeling guilty now, rather than continuing to run errands for the colonial power. Shame on you! | BLARK_translated | Tit áttu heldur at fingið samvitskubit nú, heldur enn at halda fram við at renna sneisaørindi fyri kolonimaktina. Skammið tykkum! |
I allow myself to doubt; I was in a house and was repairing something today. Then someone came in whom I know well and I know that he is a unionist. He asked me with a smile what I thought about independence now; well, he was proud to become a Danish citizen, and more Danish — he was in fact born in the Faroe Islands, ... | BLARK_translated | Eg loyvi mær at ivast,eg varð í einum húsum og umvældi eitthvørt í dag.Tá kemur ein innar,íð eg kenni væl og eg veit at hann er sambandsmaður.Hann spurdi meg við einum brosi,hvat eg nú helt um tjóðveldi,jú hann varð stoltur av at verða danskur statsborgari,og danskari,hann er annars føddur í Føroyum,hevur búð alt sítt ... |
I believe he was so pleased that his own countrymen were held in such dry contempt that he was almost half a metre above everyone the whole time. | BLARK_translated | Eg meini hann varð so glaður um at hansara egnu landsmenn vóru hildnir fyri tað turra spott,at hann varð næstan ein hálvan metur uppfrá alla tíðina. |
So it will probably be a long time before there is any pang of conscience from these deceitful people; they have sunk so deep that they have lost all common sense and have no ability to feel ashamed of being underdogs to the Danes. | BLARK_translated | So tað verður helst leingi at bíða eftir samvitskubiti frá hesum løgnu persónum,teyð eru sokkin so djúpt,at tey hava mist alla sunna fornuft og hava ikki evnir at skammast yvir at verða underdogs hjá dønum. |
We Faroese have always been Danish citizens, and we should remain so in the future. Anything else is nonsense. | BLARK_translated | Vit føroyingar hava altíð verið danskir borgarar, og tað skulu vit eisini vera í framtíðini. Alt annað er ørvitistos. |
This fuss about being Faroese outside the Faroe Islands makes no sense. No one knows the Faroes; foreigners shrug and smile politely when one mentions something about our country. | BLARK_translated | Hetta tvætlið um at vera føroyingur uttan fyri Føroyar gevur onga meining. Eingin kennir Føroyar, útlendingar yppa økst og smílast fólkaliga, tá ið man nevnir okkurt um okkara land. |
The debate on the radio this evening clearly shows that the majority of the people of the Faroe Islands stand behind the government. | BLARK_translated | Kjaktorgið í útvarpinum í kvøld vísi týhðuliga, at meirlutin av Føroya fólki stendur aftan fyri landsstýrið. |
The claims from Eidesgaard and Co. are misleading: Every time these Danish ship's boys get to a microphone they behave as if they represent the majority of the people of the Faroe Islands! | BLARK_translated | Villleiðingarnar frá Eidesgaard og Co. halda ikki: Hvørja ferð hesir donsku skutilssveinar sleppa fram at mikrofon uppføra teir seg sum um, teir umboða meirlutan av Føroya fólki! |
The Faroese want a solution and sovereignty. Let us now have the referendum so the question can be decided. | BLARK_translated | Føroyingar vilja loysing og fullveldi. Latið okkum nú fáa fólkaatkvøðuna, so spurningurin kann avgreiðast |
Today it is 5 years since the Faroese Government and the Danish Government made an agreement that was supposed to end the crisis in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Í dag er tað 5 ár síðani at Føroya Landsstýrið og Danska Stjørnin gjørdu eina avtalu sum skuldi enda kreppuna í Føroyum. |
STEP by STEP this was all full-independence nonsense! I just ask: are you independence people done swallowing camels? The coming cookbook by Høgni will be called: "1001 camel recipes without getting them stuck in your throat!" Oh, poor countrymen, who have believed these charlatans, who now have only one goal: power, a... | BLARK_translated | STIG fyri STIG hetta var alt fullveldisreypið! Eg bara spyrji eru tit fullveldisfólk liðug at svølgja kamelir komandi kókibókin hjá Høgna fer at eita: "1001 kameluppskriftir uttan at seta í hálsin!" Áh, neyðara landsmenn, sum hava trúð hesum gorlakkunum, sum nú bara hava eittans endamál: Maktin, og einki annað! Nú skal... |
You should in any case be satisfied, Johan; after all, this is egalitarian/social-democratic politics as it claims to be. | BLARK_translated | Tú átti í øllum førum at verið nøgdur Johan, hetta er jú javnaðarpolitikkur sum tað forslær. |
