You are talking about power, Johan. You should know that the power lies in Copenhagen. Faroese politicians have absolutely no power under the current colonial system. | BLARK_translated | Tú tosar um makt, Johan. Tú eigur at vita, at valdið liggur í Keypmannahavn. Føroyskir politikkarar hava als onga makt undir verandi koloniskipan. |
I see it this way: if Faroese people want independence, then we tell the Danes and thank them for what has passed. | BLARK_translated | Eg sýggji tað soleiðis at um Føroyingar vilja hava loysing, so siga vit tað við danir og takka fyri tað farna. |
Ella the reality is that the Danes provide various services that we cannot manage ourselves when we (among other things) are so few in number. Thus the Danes ensure us a society on a level with "those we want to compare ourselves to." | BLARK_translated | Ella er verðuleikin tann at danir veita ymsar tænastur sum vit ikki megna sjálvi tá vit (m.a.) eru so fáa í tali. Altso tryggja danir okkum eitt samfelag á hædd við "tey vit vilja samanlíkna okkum við". |
If you want to have a line break (paragraph) then press Enter twice. | BLARK_translated | Vilt tú hava linjubrot (afsnit) so trýst 2 ferðir á enter) |
Technically it is fully possible to solve, but not politically. | BLARK_translated | Tekniskt er tað fult møguligt at loysa men ikki politiskt. |
And that is what the Danes and Jóannes Eidesgård are playing at. Perhaps it would have been more correct to mention Eidesgård first — it may be he who dictates and Nyrup who acts. | BLARK_translated | Og tað er tað danir og Jóannes Eidesgård spæla uppá. Kanska hevði verið rættast at nevnt Eidesgård fyrst tað kan verða hann sum dikterar og Nyrup sum agerar. |
The struggle is over the middle third. Nyrup & co. know that very well, and the coalition also knows that very well. At least Anfinn Kallsberg does. | BLARK_translated | Kampurin stendur um tann mittasta 1/3. Tað veit Nyrup & co ógvuliga væl og tað veit samgongan eisini ógvuliga væl. Í hvørtfall Anfinn Kallsberg. |
The current government has now run completely aground and doesn’t know what to do, but now comes up with the idea of a referendum on “their driving plan.” Why on earth are they coming up with this “idea” now? The Faroese Government should know that the referendum should have taken place before the negotiations with the... | BLARK_translated | Sitandi landsstýrið hevur nú rent seg púra fast og vita ikki síni livandi ráð, men kemur nú við einum hugskotið um fólkaatkvøðu um "teirra koyriætlan". Hví í allari víðu verð koma teir nústaðni við hesum "hugskoti"? Føroya Landsstýri átti at vita, at fólkaatkvøðan átti at verið áðrenn samráðingarnar við danir. |
They may have woken up and see the reality in their eyes, that 50–75% of the people of the Faroe Islands do not at all support their babble about “independence”, “free association”, “collective rights” and other nonsense, on the contrary. | BLARK_translated | Teir eru kanska vaknaðir og síggja veruleikan í eyguni, at 50-75% av føroya fólki tekur als ikki undir teirra tvassi um "fullveldi", "frælan felagsskap" felags rættindi" o.a. ørvitistos, tvørturímóti. |
Coalition partners are not agreed, and one has already jumped off the agreement that was approved on November 2, so seriously: Are we really going to vote in April on their "Gags and Gizmos policy", which will almost certainly bind us down in the future? | BLARK_translated | Ikki eru samgongulimir samdir, og ein er longu lopin frá avtaluni, ið samtykt varð 2. november, so álvaratos: Skulu vit veruliga atkvøða í apríl mánaða um teirra "Gøg og Gokke politikk", sum ivaleyst skal binda okkum niður í framtíðini? |
Often the solution is compared to the child who is going to move away from their mother. If the son moves, it is probably because he wants to. He wants to be independent and therefore he does not say: | BLARK_translated | Oftani verður loysingin samanborið við barnið sum skal flyta heimani frá mammuni. Um sonurin flytur, so er tað helst tí hann ynskri tað. Hann vil verða sjálvstøður og tí sigur hann ikki: |
I believe that if one wants to move out, one moves away from home without the mother coming along. If the mother is to help, it should be said clearly and not avoided. But if the mother is to help the one who has moved away, then the question is whether that person can be said to be independent. | BLARK_translated | Eg meini vil man flyta, so flytir man heimani í frá uttan at mamman fylgir við. Skal mamman hjálpa, so er at siga tað bart út og ikki snúgva sær undan. Men skal mamman hjálpa tí fráflutta, so er spurningurin um ein kan sigast at verða sjálvstøðugur. |
Independence should not be built on Danish terms, but on our own terms. The question, therefore, is whether one-third of the people in the country actually want independence. | BLARK_translated | Fullveldi skal ikki byggjast á danskar treytir, men á egnar treytir. Spurningurin er tí um tann 1/3 av fólkinum í verðuleikanum ynskri fullveldi. |
Sovereignty must be based on the will of the people and not on agreements that are meant to ensure "no change." Why else would it be solved? | BLARK_translated | Fullveldi skal verða grunda á eitt ynski hjá fólkinum og ikki avtalur sum skulu tryggja "onga broyting". Hví skuldi ein annars loyst? |
In most families I know, the generations do a lot of collaborating after the children have moved away from home. People meet in many contexts and they help one another according to need and ability. It is not a one-way kind of help in healthy families. The older ones perhaps help with childcare and the younger ones per... | BLARK_translated | Í flestu familjum, eg kenni, hava ættarliðini nógv samstarv aftaná at børnini eru flutt heimanifrá. Man møtist í nógvum samanhangum og man hjálpir hvørjum øðrum eftir tørvi og føri. Talan er ikki um einvegis hjálp í frískum familjum. Tey eldru kanska hjálpa við barnapassingini og tey ungu kanska meira við ymiskum sum k... |
There are families where the parents physically and vehemently oppose their children freeing themselves. They might even come up with saying degradingly: "If you don't do as I say, you might just lose it for a moment!" | BLARK_translated | So finnast tað familjur har foreldrini við hond og fót seta seg ímóti at børnini frígerða seg. Tey kanska finna uppá at siga fornermisliga: "Ja, gert tú ikki sum eg sigi so kanst tú sleppa tær á dyr í stundini!" |
What is sovereignty? It sounds to me as if you think all sovereign states can do everything by themselves and have no need to cooperate. | BLARK_translated | Hvat er fullveldi? Tað ljóðar fyri meg sum um tú hedur at øll fullveldi klára alt sjálvi og ikki hava fyri neyðuni at samstarva. |
There are large countries with centuries-old sovereignty, but they cooperate in a number of areas. | BLARK_translated | Har eru stór lond við aldargomlum fullveldi, men tey samstarva á einari rúgvi av økjum. |
This is thus your private definition of sovereignty: that you do everything yourself. | BLARK_translated | Hatta er so tín privata definitión av fullveldi: at tá klárar man alt sjálvi. |
The ordinary understanding of the concept of sovereignty, I think, is about having the right to make decisions. | BLARK_translated | Tan vanliga fatanin av hugtakinum fullveldi haldi eg handlar um at hava avgerðarrættin. |
It's not about whether you match/match up with others then or not. | BLARK_translated | Tað handlar ikki um hvørt man samtarvar við onnur tá ella ikki. |
The opinion polls that have been conducted show a large majority in favor of Faroese independence, provided that the issue of security is satisfactorily resolved. | BLARK_translated | Tær meiningakanningar sum hava verið gjørdar vísa stórt fleirtal fyri føroyskum fullveldi um hetta við trygdini verður nøktandi loyst. |
Our negotiators have had 90% of their negotiation agenda fulfilled by the Danes, and therefore I ask you: Are you so sure now when you say: "If the Danes still say no; then I think that we should go and look for others to cooperate with"? | BLARK_translated | Okkara samráðingarmenn hava fingið 90% av teirra samráðingaruppritið uppfylt frá dønum, og tí spyrji eg teg: Ert tú nú so vísur í, tá tú sigur: "Siga danir tá enn nei; so haldi eg at vit skulu fara at leita okkum eftir øðrum at samstarva við." |
Do you really think that other countries will agree 100% that we should have “special treatment,” i.e. not have the same “status” as other Nordic people in Denmark and elsewhere in the world? | BLARK_translated | Heldur tú, at onnur lond fara at samtykkja 100%, at vit skulu hava "serbehandling", t.v.s. ikki hava sama "status" sum aðrir norðurlendingar í Danmark og aðrastaðni í heiminum? |
I myself think that it is rather pretentious to believe that, and by that I mean that even more camels will have to be swallowed. | BLARK_translated | Sjálv haldi eg, at tað er rættiliga innbilskt at trúgva tí, og tá rokni eg við, at enn fleiri kamelar verða at slúka. |
Regarding the Faroese "right to self-determination", we are allowed, for example, to negotiate with other countries about things like fishing rights with one another. Have the Danes opposed the agreements that have been made in this area? | BLARK_translated | Viðv. "sjálvsavgerðarrætti" føroyinga, so sleppa vit, eitt nú samráðast við onnur lond um t.d. fiskirættindi hjá hvørjum øðrum. Hava danir mótsett sær teimum avtalum, sum eru gjørdar á hesum øki? |
Otherwise I think that we have gotten off far too easily. Here I am thinking particularly of the ruling by the § 19 committee. | BLARK_translated | Annars haldi eg, at vit eru sloppin alt ov lætt Her hugsi eg serliga um úrskurðin hjá § 19 nevndini. |
The government's policy today is, in my opinion, pure proclamation and that is very regrettable, and I'm not so sure that there will be any April vote, partly because a coalition member has already jumped ship from the "2 November agreement". | BLARK_translated | Politikkur landsstýrisins í dag er tann reina proklamatión eftir mínum tykki og tað er sera harmiligt, og ikki eri eg so vís í, at nøkur apríl-atkvøða verður, m.a. tí ein samgongulimur er longu er lopin frá "2. November avtaluni". |
I don't understand what you mean in your question 1.a. | BLARK_translated | Eg skilji ikki hvat tú meinar í tínum 1.a spurningi. |
This thing about "our negotiators have had 90% of the bargaining demands met" — you repeat that like a preaching guru chanting his mantra. | BLARK_translated | Hetta við "okkara samráðingarmenn hava fingið 90% av samráðingarkrøvunum uppfylt."; tú endurtekur hatta sum ein messandi guru sigur sítt mantra. |
You know well that our negotiators said after the last “postponement round” that the Danes absolutely didn’t want to agree to anything. | BLARK_translated | Tú veit væl at okkara samráðingarfólk søgdu aftaná seinasta "forhálingaumfar" at danir púrt einki vildu avtala. |
I don't really understand what you're asking me about in the rule afterwards. | BLARK_translated | Eg skilji ikki rættuliga hvat tú spyr meg um í regluni aftaná. |
Re: “special treatment.” No, that is not something that is a solid basis for good relationships with others. | BLARK_translated | Viðv. "serbehandling". Nei, tað er ikki nakað sum er nakað haldgott grundarlag fyri góðum relatiónum við onnur. |
I can, however, mention one example of how good the Nordic countries are to one another. All Nordic residents have the right to study in the other Nordic countries on equal terms with the country’s own inhabitants. The general rule regarding payment is that the home country covers the costs for the first two years. But... | BLARK_translated | Eg kan tó nevna eitt dømi uppá hvussu góð norðurlond eru við hvørt annað. Allir norðbúgvar hava rætt at lesa í hinum norðurlondum á jøvnum fóti við landsins egnu íbúgvar. Meginreglan um gjald er at heimlandi stendur fyri kostnaðinum tey tvey fyrstu árini. Men tey stóru norðurlondini hava ásanna at Ísland er ørvísi fyri... |
I don't know if I'm particularly naive and gullible; but yes, I actually believe that we can achieve something similar. Not as a response to an unreasonable demand. | BLARK_translated | Eg veit ikki um eg eri serliga naivur og góðtrúgvin; men, ja, eg trúgvi faktiskt at vit kunnu uppnáa nakað líknandi. Ikki sum svar uppá eitt órímiligt krav. |
But because intelligence and magnanimity are also found among nations. | BLARK_translated | Men tí at vit og skil og stórsinni eisini finnist millum lond. |
Not just that crude patronizing attitude we see from the mainland when we want to stand up as a nation. | BLARK_translated | Ikki bara tað tvøra formemilsi vit síggja úr landsuðuri tá vit vilja reisa okkum sum tjóð. |
Is it because the Danes are to pay for our sovereignty and furthermore also manage, for example, our foreign affairs, prime ministerial matters, defense, health and school systems? | BLARK_translated | Er tað tí, at danir skulu gjalda fyri okkara suverænitet og harumframt eisini umsita okkara t.d. uttanríkis-, løgmála-, verjumálastýrið, heilsu- og skúlaverk.? |
Should the Faroese people impose CONDITIONS (but not pay or manage), on how “cooperation” is to be carried out in practice? And is the other party not to have any say? | BLARK_translated | Skulu føroyingar eina seta TREYTIR (men ikki gjalda og umsita), hvussu "samstarv" verður gjørt í verki? og skal hin parturin einki skula hava sagt? |
Who will pay for and take care of these matters when Faroese people probably cannot manage it themselves? And/or does “Nordic cooperation” cost nothing? | BLARK_translated | Ella hvør skal gjalda og umsita fyri hesi mál, tá føroyingar ivaleyst ikki sjálvir megna tað? og/ella kosta "norðurlendskt samstarv" einki? |
Since then many beautiful words have flown into our ears, such as: "Supreme power", "Free association", "Common rights". Isn't this all the same: Independence from Denmark? or Independence from Denmark without paying for and managing various issues? | BLARK_translated | Síðani hava mong vøkur orð flogið um oyrini á okkum, so sum: "Evsta vald", "Frælsur felagsskapur", "Felags rættindi". Er hetta ikki eitt og tað sama: Loysing frá Danmark? ella Loysing frá Danmark uttan at gjalda og umsita ymisk mál? |
And then the same genre: "The bloc that causes all the harm" irresponsibility and injustice" should be discarded, the men too. But has the number of seats on the bloc decreased? If not, why? Now that things are going so well in the Faroe Islands? | BLARK_translated | Og so tann sama genren: "Blokkurin, ið ber alt ilt" ábyrgdarloysi og órættvísi" skal burtur siga mennirnir eisini. Men er á krónutalið á blokkinum minkað? Um ikki, hví? Nú tá tað gongur so væl í Føroyum? |
As I understood Nyrup, he said: "If the Faroese want independence, then we will get independence with a 4-year transition period" and that our living conditions will almost certainly resemble those of the Scottish/Portuguese living conditions and that we will get exactly the same "status" in Denmark as all the other Sc... | BLARK_translated | Sum eg skilti Nyrup, so segði hann: "Ynskja føroyingar loysing, so fáa vit loysing við 4 ára skiftistíð" at okkara livifótur fer ivaleyst at líkjast tí skotska/portogisiska livifótinum og at vit fáa akkurát sama "status" í Danmark, sum allir aðrir norðurlendingar í Danmark. Her skal bert ein fólkaatkvøða avgera hetta. ... |
And now, after the "2 November agreement" between the coalition members, the deputy prime minister says: "Sovereignty is/will be in 2006, and therefore I ask, 'Where is the difference between a "4-year transition period" and "Sovereignty year 2006"?" | BLARK_translated | Og nú eftir "2. November avtaluni" millum samgongumennirnar sigur varaløgmaður: "Fullveldi er/verður í 2006, og tí spyrji eg "Hvar er munurin millum "4 ára skiftistíð" og "Fullveldi ár 2006"? |
Otherwise it was also the deputy prime minister who said after the 2nd negotiation meeting that we had fulfilled 90% of the negotiation draft. | BLARK_translated | Annars var tað eisini varaløgmaður, ið segði eftir 2. samráðingarfundi, at vit høvdu fingið 90% av samráðingaruppritinum uppfylt). |
I don’t think it’s right — on the contrary, it’s downright wrong — to set a voting day about “their policy program.” This can, in a way, in the future prevent new and old coalition members from implementing “their policy program.” The “April vote” is more or less dictatorial by the people in power, in my opinion. After... | BLARK_translated | Ikki haldi eg, at tað er rætt, men harafturímóti beinleiðis skeivt, at áseta atkvøðudag um "teirra koyriætlan". Hetta kann líkasum í framtíðini forða nýggjum og gomlum samgongulimum at seta "sína koyriætlan" í verk. "Apríl-atkvøðan" er meiri ella minni diktatoriskt av sitandi monnum eftir mínum tykki. Vit liva jú í ein... |
Cooperating with other countries is good, but when we ourselves cannot manage the task, we must then accept various conditions that certain countries impose. I don’t believe it helps at all to bury our heads in the sand and baa on: “This and that country is to blame” “This and that country must not impose conditions on... | BLARK_translated | Samstarv við onnur lond er gott, men tá vit ikki megna uppgávuna sjálvi, mugu vit eisini tá ganga undir ymiskar treytir, sum ávís lond áseta. Ikki trúgvi eg, at tað nyttar nakað sum helst At stinga heysin í sandin og mjarra um: "Tað og tað landi hevur skyldina" "Tað og tað landi skal ikki seta okkum treytir". eftir ful... |
Otherwise I fully agree with Jógvan Joensen in what he says, among other things: "Sovereignty must be based on a wish of the people and not on agreements that are intended to ensure 'no change'. Why would one otherwise have been released?" | BLARK_translated | Annars eri eg púra samd við Jógvani Joensen í, har hann m.a. sigur: "Fullveldi skal verða grunda á eitt ynski hjá fólkinum og ikki avtalur sum skulu tryggja "onga broyting". Hví skuldi ein annars loyst?". |
Now I was so long-winded, but these are my views, Carl. | BLARK_translated | Nú var eg í so drúgv, men hetta eri so míni sjónarmið, Carl. |
Cooperation of free will is not the same as the delegation of necessity. | BLARK_translated | Samstarv av fríðum vilja er ikki tað sama sum útdeligering av neyð. |
After the second round of negotiations, the Government was supposed to come up with a list of which areas the Danes were to administer under the sovereignty. Unfortunately I have not seen that list, and unfortunately I do not know why it cannot be found anywhere. | BLARK_translated | Eftir annað samráðingarumfar skuldi Landsstýrið koma við einum lista yvir hvøri øki danir skuldi umsita undir fullveldinum. Tíverri havi eg ikki sæð tann listan, og tíverri veit eg ikki hví hann ikki er at finnað nakrastaðnis. |
Such a list would further please my point of view. The list contains many weighty topics (see words from Hanna) and probably some lighter ones as well. For example, one can mention Danish Standards, DMI, Geological Institute, SLV, the Seruminstitute/Panum Institute, the Technological Institute, etc. | BLARK_translated | Ein slíkur listi vildi lyst mítt sjónarmið enn betri. Á listanum standa nógv tung evni (sjá orð frá Hannu) og helst onkur lættari eisini. T.d. kann ein nevna Dansk standard, DMI, Geologisk institut, SLV, serum/panum instituttet, teknologisk institut o.m.a. |
Some might say that these institutions have nothing directly to do with the Faroe Islands. That is correct, but indirectly they influence/manage/perform tasks that the Faroes as a country need. | BLARK_translated | Onkur vil siga at hesir stovnar onki beinleiðis hava við Føroyar at gerða. Tað er rætt, men óbeinleiðis ávirka/reka/tæna teir uppgávur sum Føroyar land hevur brúk fyri. |
In short: Any nation may/can cooperate with its neighbors if it wishes, but if the difference between sovereign Faroe Islands and the Faroe Islands within the kingdom is that Denmark, instead of taking on tasks automatically, would do so at the Faroes' request, then there is no real difference between the situation tod... | BLARK_translated | Suma sumarum: Einhvør tjóð skal/kann samstarva við sínar grannar um hon ynskir tað, men um munurin millum fullveldi Føroyar og Føroyar í ríkisfelagsskapinum er tann at Danmark í staðin fyri at loysa upgávur pr. automatik skal gerða tað eftir umbøn, tá er ongin verðuligur munur á støðuni í dag og í frammtíðuni. |
The government asked the Danes to jointly prepare the list based on the work that Danish institutions currently do for the Faroe Islands. The request was to make a political agreement on the matter and then have civil servants formulate the details. | BLARK_translated | Landstýrið bað danir um at saman gerða listan útfrá tað arbeiði danskir stovnar í dag gera fyri Føroyar. Biðið var um at gerða eina politiska avtalu um málið og síðani lata embætisfólk formulera detaljurnar. |
You are of course absolutely right that many such “special” tasks must be solved in an advanced society. | BLARK_translated | Tú hevur sjálvandi heilt rætt í at nógvar tílíkar "special" uppgávur mugu loysast í einum frammkomnum samfelag. |
One can sit down and work through such a list in detail. (500 people over three years?) | BLARK_translated | Man kan seta seg niður og arbeiða framm ein tílíkan lista í detalj. (500 fólk í trý ár?) |
Some of these countries have smaller populations than the Faroe Islands. Several of the countries are considered among the richest in the world. | BLARK_translated | Nøkur av hesum londum hava minni fólkanøgd enn Føroyar. Fleiri av londunum teljast millum tey ríkastu í heiminum. |
This is not a complete, detailed answer to your concerns, but it can well tell us enough that there is no reason to worry about this. If others can solve such things, we can too. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er ikki nakað fullgott, detaljerað svar uppá tínar funderingar, men tað kan væl siga okkum so mikið sum at ongin grund er at stúra yvir hetta. Kunnu onnur loysa slíkt so kunnu vit eisini. |
The pessimist says the glass is half empty while the optimist says it is half full. | BLARK_translated | Pessimisturin sigur at ølin er hálv tóm meðan optimisturin sigur hon er hálv full |
Dan Petersen, a Social Democratic member of parliament, completely disgraced the Faroe Islands in Iceland. | BLARK_translated | Dan Petersen, javnaðartingmaður, gjørdi Føroya landi fullkomuliga fyri skommum í Íslandi. |
An Icelandic member of parliament posed a question to the Danish prime minister about the harshly xenophobic Danish attitude toward Faroese people. | BLARK_translated | Íslendskur tingmaður setti danska statsministaranum fyrispurning um harðrendu donsku støðuna ímóti føroyingum. |
Good that others spoke up, so foreigners don't think Faroese are masochists! | BLARK_translated | Gott, at aðrir tóku orðið, so útlendingar ikki halda, at føroyingar eru masokistar! |
But it wasn't only the executive branch that failed. The oversight functions were too weak, and the board points that out as well. | BLARK_translated | Men tað var nú ikki bara útinnandi parturin sum sveik. Eftirlitsfunktiónirnar vóru ov veikar og tað prikar nevndin eisini eftir. |
Political oversight — the finance committee, parliamentary auditors, the government affairs committee — failed. The national treasury was committed without legal authority. The consequences became serious: billions lost from the national treasury and serious problems for individuals. The responsibility for the serious ... | BLARK_translated | Politiska eftirlitið - fíggjarnevnd, løgtingsgrannskoðarar, landsstýrismálanevnd - sveik. Landskassin varð bundin uttan lógarheimild. Fylgjurnar gjørdust álvarsaman: Milliardatap hjá landskassanum og álvarsamir trupulleikar hjá einstaklingum. Ábyrgdin fyri álvarsligu skeivleikarnar og mistøkini í 80-árunum lá hjá polit... |
I agree with you for the most part in what you say here. | BLARK_translated | Eg gevi tær ræt í tí mesta tú sigur her. |
These are the Faroese who always blame the Danes for everything. Finnbogi Ísaksson and Zakarias Wang are perhaps the foremost spokesmen for this particular Faroese tale of grief. | BLARK_translated | Tað eru teir føroingar sum altíð geva dønum skyldina fyri alt. Finnbogi Ísaksson og Zakarias Wang eru kanska fremstu talsmenn fyri hesa serføroysku sorgarsøgu. |
The Christmas storm of 1988 was a terrible destructive storm, the worst we know of. But the Faroese learned from it — they were willing to learn. What can be done in the Faroe Islands and what cannot be done. | BLARK_translated | Jólaøðnin í 1988 var øgilig skaðaøðn tann ringast vit vita um. Men føroyingar lærdu av henni teir vóru villigir at læra. Hvat sum letur seg gerða í Føroyum og hvat sum ikki letur seg gerða. |
I believe that the vast majority of Faroese people are just as eager to learn from the worst political/financial crisis that has ever hit us. | BLARK_translated | Eg haldi at teir allarflestu føroyingar eru líka villigir at læra av tí ringastu politisku/fíggjarligu øðnini sum nakrantíð hevur rakt okkum. |
One lesson is that it is not good to have such unclear and complicated relations in the question of the distribution of tasks and responsibilities as we have it between Denmark and the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Ein lektia er at tað er ikki gott at hava so ógreið og fløkt forhold í spuringinum um fordeiling av uppgávum og ábyrgd sum vit hava tað millum Dk og Føroyar. |
Another lesson is that it is not good to have the option of blaming the Danes. | BLARK_translated | Ein onnur lektia er at tað er ikki gott at hava møguleikan at skylda uppá danskarnar. |
I completely agree with you that it is far too simplistic to just say that "the Danes are to blame for everything." | BLARK_translated | Eg eri púra samdur við tær í at tað er alt ov bíligt bara at siga at "danskarnir hava alla skyldina". |
And therefore I believe that it is necessary to come like this so that we cannot use this easily available, deceitful method. | BLARK_translated | Og tí haldi eg at tað er neyðgut at koma soleiðis fyri at vit ikki kunnu brúka handan lættkeypta, lygnagtiga útvegin. |
Regarding that problem I can see only one solution: full sovereignty. Then it will be we who have both the tasks and the responsibility. That is much healthier and fairer. | BLARK_translated | Uppá tann trupuleikan finnist bert ein loysn sum eg dugi at síggja: fullveldi. Tá verða tað vit sum hava bæði uppgávurnar og ábyrgdina. Tað er nógv sunnari og rættari. |
Have we learned? Well, it wasn't the first time that the Danes in the 1990s rescued the Faroe Islands from a complete collapse. They have done that several times in the past century. But hopefully we have learned the lesson this time. | BLARK_translated | Lært vit? Nú var tað ikki fyrstu ferð at danir í 90'unum bjargaðu Føroyar undir einum fullkommnum skralli. Tað hava teir gjørt fleiri ferðir í seinastu øld. Men vónandi hava vit lært lektiuna hesu ferð. |
If we now made a list of the unclear and complicated issues in the question of the distribution of tasks and responsibilities between Denmark and the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Um vit nú gerða ein lista yvir tey ógreiðu og fløktu forholdini í spuringinum um fordeiling av uppgávum og ábyrgd millum Dk og Føroyar. |
If we then untie that knot and make clear rules, can we then continue to remain in the kingdom/community of states? | BLARK_translated | Um vit so loysa tann knútin og gerða greiðar reglur, kunnu vit so ikki frammhaldandi verða í ríkisfelagsskapi? |
So the Danes have saved us from scrapes several times, you say. Which scrapes? And when? | BLARK_translated | Danir hava altso fleiri ferð bjarga okkum úr skrallum sigur tú. Hvørji skrall? Og nær? |
The delegation can be dismissed unilaterally, and in all important matters it is the Danish government that has the right of definition and the right to decide. | BLARK_translated | Delegatiónin kan afturtakast einvegis og í øllum týðandi spurningum er tað danska stjørnin sum hevur definiti''onsrætt og avgerðaerrætt. |
On the other hand, a community of sovereign nations with extensive cooperation; that is what I am called a spokesman for. | BLARK_translated | Harafturómóti ein felagsskapur av suverenum tjóðum við einum umfatandi samarbeiði; tað eri eg heitur talsmaður fyri. |
The upcoming referendums + the governing coalition's action plan. According to what the government has said, in the coming years we must: 1. Vote on a full independence process 2. Empty the Home Rule Act 3. Phase the block down to zero (wait a moment with item 4) | BLARK_translated | Komandi fólkaatkvøðurnar + koyriplanurin hjá samgonguni. Eftir tí landstýrið hevur sagt so skulu vit tey komandi árini: 1. Atkvøða um eina fullvedisgongd 2. Tøma heimastýrislógina 3. Trappað blokkin niður á null (bíða eina løtu við pkt. 4) |
Then we have clarified all complications and unclear matters, tasks and responsibilities; there is no money involved in the dealings, and Faroese people decide where they pay. | BLARK_translated | Tá hava vit greit allar fløkjur og ógreið viðurskifti v.v. uppgávum og ábyrgd; eingir pengar eru í samskiftinum, og føroyingar valda har teir gjalda. |
This is definitely a more pleasant picture than the situation today. | BLARK_translated | Hetta er avgjørt ein hugaligari mynd enn støðan í dag. |
But my question then is: why not do as said above + take the sovereignty. Negotiate once more with the Danes to see if we cannot create a real "association of states", i.e. a real union or a "free association" like several former American protectorates have with the USA. It is my hope that the Danes will come to their ... | BLARK_translated | Men mín spurningur verður tá: hví ikki gerða sum sagt omanfyri + taka suverenitetin. Samráðast enn einaferð við danir um vit ikki kunnu gerða ein veruligan "felagsskap av ríkjum" t.e. ein real unión ella "frælsur felagsskapur" sum t.d. fleiri fyrrverandi amerikonsk protektorat hava við USA. Tað er mín vón at danir skul... |
If the Danes still say no; then I think we should go and look for someone else to cooperate with. | BLARK_translated | Siga danir tá enn nei; so haldi eg at vit skulu fara at leita okkum eftir øðrum at samstarva við. |
So, Jógvan: it depends on what you put into the word "Ríkisfelagsskapur". | BLARK_translated | So, Jógvan: tað velst um hvat tú leggur í orðið Ríkisfelagsskapur. |
I think it was "the Financing Fund of 1972." The Maritime Bank, Kjølbro, etc. | BLARK_translated | Eg meini tað var "Finansieringsfonden af 1972". Sjóvinnubankin, Kjølbro v.m. |
Socialists are so concerned with history that maybe someone here can explain more about it. | BLARK_translated | Tjóveldismenn ganga so nógv uppí søgu, so kanska onkur her kan greiða nærri frá. |
You say that the Danes have often rescued us from "scraps". | BLARK_translated | Tú sigur at danir ofta hava bjarga okkum úr "skrallum". |
I wouldn’t call the examples you mention rubbish. But indeed; our all-dominant partner is Denmark and indeed we have both borrowed from them and received money from them in several different ways. | BLARK_translated | Tey dømi tú nevnir kallið eg ikki fyri skrall. Men víst; okkara altdominerandi samstarvsfelagi er DK og víst hava vit bæði lænt og fingið pening frá teimum uppá fleiri ymiskar mátar. |
But, Jógvan, don’t believe that anything is free. You know that well from the advertising campaign. When companies promise something free you should probably be a little (suspicious/ wary). | BLARK_translated | Men, Jógvan, trúgv ikki at nakað er ókeypis. Tað veit tú væl frá reklamukampagnum. Tá fyritøkur lovað nakað okeypis tá skal man nokk verða eitt sindur? |
This is also how matters are decided in politics and in relations between countries. | BLARK_translated | Soleiðis er avgjørt eisini í politikki og í viðurskiftum millum lond. |
The Faroese began to renew their fishing fleet, especially in the 1950s. The so-called "60 million fund" was a cornerstone of this major initiative. | BLARK_translated | Føroyingar fóru undir at endurnyggja fiskiskipaflotan síst í 50'unum. Tann sokallaði "60 miljóna grunnurin" var ein hornasteinur undir hesum stóra tiltaki. |
There is a strong desire to believe that there is a connection between these two phenomena. | BLARK_translated | Illar tungur vilja verða við at tað er eitt samband millum hesu bæði fenomen. |
Those same ill tongues have allowed themselves to investigate this further and claim (very cheekily and shamelessly of course) that DK made a very good business out of the "shop". | BLARK_translated | Somu illu tungurnar hava loyvt sær at kanna hetta nærmari og pástanda (ógvuliga frekt og óforskammað sjálvandi) at DK gjørdi eina ógvuliga góða forrætning uppá "handilin". |
Vagn Våglin (spelled correctly?), a Danish expert in North Atlantic affairs, said something like this: "Block subsidy is not about the economy; it is about buying political friends and influence." Apologies if the quote is not entirely accurate; I don’t have my source material with me. | BLARK_translated | Vagn Våglin (rætt stava?), danskur serfrøðingur í norðuratlantiskum forholdum hevur sagt nakað soleiðis: "Blokkstuðul handlar ikki um ekonomi tað handlar um at keypa sær pólitiskar vinir og ávirkan". Orsaka um citatið møguliga ikki er heilt korrekt; eg havi ikki keldutilfari hjá mær. |
You go on to say that nationalists can explain further what you mean. No, Jógvan, this is far too cheap. You mention some awful nonsense and claim that the Danes saved us. If you have said A then you should just keep going and say B. You cannot throw this onto someone else. | BLARK_translated | Tú sigur víðari at tjóðveldismenn kunnu greiða nærri frá hvat tú meinar. Nei, Jógvan, hatta er for bíligt. Tú nevnir nøkur øgilig skrall og pástendur at danir hava bjarga okkum. Hevur tú sagt A so er bara at halda á og siga B. Tú kan ikki kasta hatta á nakran annan. |
A very dark period in our history was the 1930s. I know nothing about the Danes having helped at all. | BLARK_translated | Eitt ógvuliga svárt tíðarskeið í okkara søgu vóru 30'árini. Einki veit eg um at danir hjálptu nakað. |
The Faroese asked for help, by the way. Not for money, but for permission to fish in Greenland. You know, in this blessed “commonwealth.” | BLARK_translated | Føroyingar bóðu annars um hjálp. Ikki um pening, men um loyvi at sleppa at fiska í Grønlandi. Tú veit, í hesum vælsignaða ríkis"felagsskapinum". |
If you want to know how it went you can read the booklet that the Skipper and Navigator Association published then. | BLARK_translated | Um tú vil vita hvussu gekk kanst tú lesa bóklingin sum Skipara- og Navigatørfelagið gav út tá. |
