What makes student-political work so exciting that you have done it unpaid for several years? | BLARK_translated | Hvat ger studentapolitisk arbeiði so spennandi, at tú hevur gjørt tað ólønt í fleiri ár? |
There is a sense of community among the people in MFS. When you work together with such people, money doesn't matter as much. And it's interesting to work with politics. It's not as mundane work as if you had some ordinary paid job alongside your studies, cleaning toilets or something like that. And what you learn here... | BLARK_translated | Tað er ein felagsskapur millum fólkini í MFS. Tá man arbeiðir saman við slíkum fólki, týða pengarnir ikki so nógv. Og tað er áhugavert at arbeiða við politikki. Tað er ikki so trivielt arbeiði, sum um man hevði okkurt vanligt lønt arbeiði aftrat lestrinum, vaskaði WC-kummur ella okkurt sovorðið. Og tað man lærir her, k... |
Does that mean you "have control over" everything that happens in MFS? | BLARK_translated | Vil tað siga at tú hevur "stýr á" øllum sum hendir í MFS? |
No, not like that, but we have an agreement that people tell me what they are doing and then get “the green light.” We cannot always wait for a council meeting to make a decision, but we still want to ensure that things are approved by someone so that we don’t get into trouble in any matter. Therefore I know about most... | BLARK_translated | Nei, ikki soleiðis, men vit hava eina avtalu um, at fólk siga mær frá tí tey gera og so fáa "grønt ljós". Vit kunnu ikki altíð bíða eftir at ein ráðsfundur tekur støðu, men vit vilja kortini soleiðis syrgja fyri at ting verða góðkend av onkrum, so vit ikki koma illa fyri í nøkrum máli. Tí veit eg um tað mesta, sum fólk... |
The MFS chairman is not upset that MFS work is unpaid. He says that perhaps fewer people take part when they do not receive pay for it, but now the right ones are involved, those with an interest in the "cause." | BLARK_translated | MFS-formaðurin er ikki keddur av at MFS-arbeiði er ólønt. Hann sigur, at kanska eru færri við, tá tey ikki fáa løn fyri tað, men nú eru tey røttu við, tey við áhuga fyri "sakini". |
Now it is with idealism, and therefore also with enthusiasm. People are here simply because they like it. And I think that work in the association is quite effective. | BLARK_translated | Nú er tað við idealismu, og tí eisini við entusiasmu. Fólk eru her bara, tí teimum dámar tað. Og eg haldi, at arbeiði í felagnum er rættiliga effektivt. |
With the financial resources MFS has, we get the most for the money through unpaid labor. However, if we had money, we could start more at once by paying people. It is not for principled reasons that people do not get paid; it is probably mostly a financial question. | BLARK_translated | Við tí fíggjarorku MFS hevur fæst mest fyri pengarnar við óløntum arbeiði. Tó, um vit høvdu pengar, so kundu vit sett meira í gongd í senn við at løna fólki. Tað er ikki av prinsippiellum orsøkum at fólk ikki fáa løn; tað er nokk mest ein fíggjarspurningur. |
The mentioned education committee is what the government is about to appoint. Defining an education policy for the Faroe Islands is very important now. Therefore we in MFS are very happy to be allowed to take part. Another thing that is important to do something about is that the association has so few members. | BLARK_translated | Tað er nevnda útbúgvingarnevnd, sum landsstýrið er við at seta. At fáa definerað ein útbúgvingarpolitikk fyri Føroyar er sera týdningarmikið nú. Tí eru vit sera fegin í MFS fyri at sleppa at vera við. Eitt annað sum hevur týdning at fáa gjørt nakað við er, at felagið hevur so fáar limir. |
But does MFS have too few members? And why are there so few? | BLARK_translated | Men hevur MFS ov fáar limir? Og hví eru so fáir? |
It is difficult! There must be more practical benefits to being a member, and we must also make our opinions more visible. And we can do more publicity for the association so people know what we do and why they should be members of MFS. | BLARK_translated | Tað er trupult! Tað mugu finnast fleiri praktiskir fyrimunir við at vera limur, og vit mugu so eisini markera okkum meira við meiningum. Og so kunnu vit gera meira reklamu fyri felagið, so fólk vita hvat vit gera, og hví tey skulu vera limur í MFS. |
That is a good question. If we have not been able to promote our community group well enough, then one might perhaps be MFS for nothing. I still believe, however, that we have this task, which no one else can solve. | BLARK_translated | Tað er ein góður spurningur. Um vit ikki hava dugað nóg væl at promovera okkara samfelagsbólk, so kundi man kanska verið MFS fyriuttan. Eg haldi tó framvegis at vit hava hesa uppgávuna, sum eingin annar kann loysa. |
Does MFS have any influence on what people think in the Faroe Islands? | BLARK_translated | Hevur MFS nakra ávirkan á hvat fólk halda í Føroyum? |
Educated people. With educated people we can achieve a better society with greater welfare. MFS can therefore promote people with education, getting people to understand the importance education has for society. | BLARK_translated | Útbúgvin fólk. Við útbúnum fólki kunnu vit fáa eitt betri samfelag við størri vælferð. MFS kann so promovera fólk við útbúgving, at fáa fólk at skilja týdningin fyri samfelagið, útbúgving hevur. |
Hans Ellefsen studies mathematical economics at the University of Copenhagen. He is expected to finish at Christmas. He describes his choice of education: | BLARK_translated | Hans Ellefsen lesur matematik-økonomi á Københavns Universitet. Hann verður væntandi liðugur á jólum. Hann greiðir frá sínum útbúgvingarvali: |
That MFS gets more members and becomes a larger association with greater influence. That we are listened to more when we have an opinion on an issue. That MFS becomes bigger and better. | BLARK_translated | At MFS fær fleiri limir og gerst eitt størri felag við størri ávirkan. At lurtað verður meira eftir okkum tá vit hava eina meining um eitt mál. At MFS gerst størri og betri. |
Half of the candidates have run for office before. They now face competition from five new, ambitious MFS members. | BLARK_translated | Helvtin av valevnunum hava staðið fyri vali fyrr. Tey fáa nú kapping frá fimm nýggjum, ágrytnum, MFS-limum. |
He says: "The new MFS must market Faroese students more strategically. We believe Faroese society needs people with education. The Faroe Islands do not think so. Here MFS has a task: Faroese students are something else and more than Esmar Eysturoy!" | BLARK_translated | Hann sigur: "Tað nýggja MFS má meira miðvíst marknaðarføra tey føroysku lesandi. Vit halda, at føroyska samfelagið hevur brúk fyri fólki við útbúgving. Tað halda Føroyar ikki. Her hevur MFS eina uppgávu: Føroysk lesandi eru annað og meiri enn Esmar Eysturoy!" |
Egil Rasmussen is from Hoyvík with a capital H and is in his 28th year. He studies electrical engineering (weak-current engineering) at DTU. Egil worked for three years at the National Road Authority before studying mathematics and aquaculture at the University of the Faroe Islands. There he was a member of the Faculty... | BLARK_translated | Egil Rasmussen er Hoyvíkingur við stórum H og gongur á 28'inda ári. Hann lesur veikstreymsverkfrøði á DTU. Egil arbeiddi í trý ár hjá Landsverkfrøðinginum, áðrenn hann las støddfrøði og alisfrøði á Fróðskaparsetrinum. Har var hann limur í Megindeildarráðnum í eitt ár, setursráðslimur í eitt ár og eitt ár næstformaður í... |
Katrin Gaard is 27 years old and from Hoyvík. She studied social sciences in Aalborg and is now studying public administration at RUC. During her time in Aalborg she was a board member of the Faroese association for two years, and has now been chairperson of MFS for one year. | BLARK_translated | Katrin Gaard er 27 ár og úr Hoyvík. Hon hevur lisið samfelagsfrøði í Aalborg og lesur nú forvaltning á RUC. Tíðina í Aalborg var hon nevndarlimur í føroyingafelagnum í tvey ár, og hevur nú í eitt ár verið nevndarforkvinna í MFS. |
William Simonsen is 28 years old and from Hvannasund. He studies biology at KU. Before that he studied for two years at the Faroese University Centre. Over the past year William has been a member of the council, where he has represented MFS in NOM (NOM - forum for Nordic student associations), and he intends to continu... | BLARK_translated | William Simonsen er 28 ár og av Hvannasundi. Hann lesur lívfrøði á KU. Áðrenn las hann tvey ár á Setrinum. William hevur undanfarna árið verið limur í ráðnum, her hann hevur umboðað MFS í NOM (NOM - forum fyri norðurlendskar studentafelagsskapir), og hann hevur hug at halda áfram eitt ár afturat. William sigur, at hann... |
Malla would gladly like to make it more attractive to be a member of MFS, and she wants to work together with others who also wish to improve the conditions of Faroese students. | BLARK_translated | Malla vil fegin gera tað meiri lokkandi at vera limur í MFS, og hon hevur hug at arbeiða saman við øðrum, sum eisini ynskja at betra um viðurskiftini hjá føroyskum lesandi. |
Jógvan Páll Fjalsbak is 24 years old and studies biotechnology at Aalborg University. He previously studied at the Faculty of Natural Sciences at the University of the Faroe Islands, where he at the same time sat on the Faculty Council. Jógvan Páll has been a board member of the Faroese association in Aalborg for two y... | BLARK_translated | Jógvan Páll Fjalsbak er 24 ár og lesur bioteknologi við Aalborg Universitet. Hann hevur fyrr lisið á Náttúruvísindadeildini á Fróðskaparsetrinum, han hann samstundis sat í Megindeildarráðnum. Jógvan Páll hevur verið nevndarlimur í føroyingafelagnum í Aalborg í tvey ár og hevur hetta seinna árið verið formaður. Í fjør v... |
MFS should of course continue to work on its regular tasks, publish Fjølnir, publish Pisan every year and work to improve the conditions of the students. But MFS should also, for example, get more involved in Faroese public debate,” says Hans. | BLARK_translated | MFS skal sjálvsagt framvegis arbeiða við teimum føstu uppgávunum, geva Fjølnir út, geva Pisuna út á hvørjum ári og arbeiða fyri at betra um viðurskiftini hjá teimum lesandi. Men MFS eigur t.d. eisini at blanda seg meiri í føroyska samfelagskjakinum", sigur Hans. |
The system in the industrial society has been replaced by another system in the information and technology-based society we have today, which Siggaard Jensen calls the "knowledge society." | BLARK_translated | Skipanin í ídnaðarsamfelagnum er skift út við eina aðra skipan í tí informatións- og tøknifrøðisliga samfelag vit hava í dag, og sum Siggaard Jensen kallar "vitanar-samfelagið". |
This means that the conditions for research in general are changing. | BLARK_translated | Hetta hevur við sær, at fortreytirnar fyri gransking yvirhøvur broytast. |
Today, says Siggaard Jensen, the researcher in the public institution has simply become bad at producing new knowledge, precisely because they work in an isolated research environment, rather than out in industry. For example, when an employee at a large company gains experience and knowledge in creating large software... | BLARK_translated | Ídag, sigur Siggaard Jensen, hevur granskarin í tí almenna stovninum nevniliga ringt við at framleiða nýggja vitan, júst tí at viðkomandi arbeiðir í einum avbyrgdum granskingarumhvørvi, heldur enn úti í vinnulívinum. Tá t.d. eitt starvsfólk á eini stórari fyritøku fær royndir og vitan við at gera stórar soft ware-skipa... |
The problem for the publicly funded researcher is that he is not where knowledge is produced and is therefore without the prerequisites to create new knowledge. | BLARK_translated | Trupulleikin hjá tí alment lønta granskaranum er, at hann ikki er har vitanin verður framleidd og er harvið uttan fortreytir fyri at skapa nýggja vitan. |
Previously the closed institution — for example, the traditional university — was regarded as a prerequisite for free research. Today this institution is, on the contrary, an obstacle to the production of relevant knowledge, according to Siggaard Jensen. | BLARK_translated | Fyrr var hin lukkaði stovnurin - t.d. lærdi háskúlin - uppfataður, sum fortreyt fyri fría gransking. Ídag er hesin stovnur tvørturímóti ein forðing fyri framleiðslu av relevantari vitan, sambært Siggaard Jensen. |
A society that particularly produces knowledge is characterized by the knowledge in that society growing together with economic activity. The decisive research-policy problem today therefore reads: if new knowledge is increasingly being produced in private industry, it is not certain that this knowledge is accessible t... | BLARK_translated | Eitt samfelag sum serstakliga framleiðir vitan er sermerkt við, at vitanin í hesum samfelagið kyknar saman við tí økonomiska aktivitetinum. Tann avgerandi granskingar-politiski trupulleikin ídag ljóðar sostatt: um tað í vaksandi mun er í privatu vinnuni at nýggj vitan verður framleidd, er tað ikki vist at henda vitanin... |
When knowledge develops in practice and thus particularly serves the economy rather than public information, research is needed into what kinds of knowledge are being produced. It could therefore become a new task for the public researcher to organize and make public findings regarding the experiments carried out in in... | BLARK_translated | Tá vitan mennist í praksis og harvið serstakliga tænir búskapinum og ikki almennari upplýsing vanta kanningar av, hvørji sløg av vitan, ið eru framleidd. Tað kundi sostatt verði nýggja uppgávan hjá tí almenna granskaranum at skipa og gjørt almennar niðurstøður viðvíkjandi teimum royndum, sum eru gjørdar í vinnulívinum,... |
This is worth keeping in mind for Faroese politicians now that we may possibly be doing more with research in the Faroe Islands. It is not only important to do more research, but also to organize our research correctly so that the knowledge that emerges from research in the future does not become irrelevant and arbitra... | BLARK_translated | Hetta er vert at hava í huga hjá føroyskum politikarum nú vit møguliga fara at gera meira burtur úr granskingini í Føroyum. Tað er ikki bert umráðandi at granska meira, men eisini at skipa okkara gransking rætt, so at tann vitan, sum spríkir úr granskingini í framtíðini ikki verður irrelevant og tilvildarlig. Sostatt e... |
This subject/object dualism, which is also the foundation of rationalism, also leads us to institutionalize the natural sciences. The natural sciences are called objective — not only because this is the Method of investigating the object — but also because this method is held to represent the truth, since we do recogni... | BLARK_translated | Henda subjekt/objekt-dualisman, sum eisini er støðið undir ratinalismuni, hevur eisini við sær, at vit stovnseta náttúruvísundina. Náttúruvísundin verður kallað objektiv - ikki bert tí hetta er Mátin at kanna objektið - men eisini tí, at hesin mátin verður hildin at umboða sannleikan, av tí, at vit jú erkenna sannleika... |
Thus the objective mode of thinking becomes a goal and model for people. But this dualism — that I can imagine myself as a subject, i.e. as a person standing opposite an object — has as its prerequisite that I can define myself as a subject or person. I now do this by thinking rationally, namely with the aforementioned... | BLARK_translated | Soleiðis verður hin objektivi hugsanarhætturin mál og fyrimynd hjá menniskjum. Men henda dualisman, at eg kann hugsa meg sjálvan sum eitt subjekt, tvs. sum eitt menniskja standandi yvirfyri einum objekti, hevur sum fortreyt, at eg kann definera meg sjálvan sum subjekt ella menniskja. Hetta geri eg nú við at hugsa ratio... |
Thus the idea of totality also has as a prerequisite the principle of contradiction, which is an either/or, i.e. I am this, I cannot be that at the same time (if I am A, I cannot at the same time be B). That is, I must limit myself in order to find my totality continually as time passes, especially if we now, with Hege... | BLARK_translated | Sostatt hevur samleikahugsanin eisini sum fortreyt prinsippið um sjálvmótsøgn, sum er eitt antin/ella, tvs. eri eg hetta, kann eg ikki vera hatta samstundis (eri eg A, kann eg ikki samstundis vera B). Tvs. eg má avmarka meg sjálvan fyri at finna mín samleika støðugt sum tíðin gongur, serstakliga um vit nú við Hegel ums... |
This is exactly the problem with any idea of collectivity: it requires sacrifices. Any society and any group that defines its collectivity precisely, for example by saying, “for you to call yourself Faroese, you must speak Faroese,” is forced to find something to set itself against. This has often shown itself in the s... | BLARK_translated | Hetta er júst vandin í ein og hvørjari samleikahugsan: hon krevur offur. Eitthvørt samfelag og einhvør bólkur, sum definerar sín samleika nágreiniliga, sum t.d. at siga: "fyri at tú kanst kalla seg føroying, mást tú duga føroyskt", noyðist at finna okkurt at avmarka seg ímóti. Hetta hevur ofta víst seg við at samfelgið... |
Asking whether I am Faroese can therefore quickly lead to others in society being seen in your eyes as "less" Faroese, if they do not meet the conditions that a certain part of society or the group has set for what it means to be Faroese. | BLARK_translated | At spyrja hvørt eg eri føroyingur kann sostatt skjótt hava við sær, at onnur í samfelagnum í tínum eygum verða "minni" føroyingar, um tey ikki lúka tær treytir, sum ein ávísur partur av samfelagnum ella bólkinum hava uppstillað fyri hvat tað er at vera føroyingur. |
But it is nonetheless increasingly important in a time that is overly pluralistic and relativistic to find and hold on to who you are, namely a Faroese person. But this thing about measured tolerance is and will remain the keyword. | BLARK_translated | Men tað er kortini meira og meira týdningamikið í eini tíð sum er ovurpluralistisk og relativistisk at finna og halda fast í tí man er, nevniliga føroyingur. Men eisini hetta við máta toleransa er og verður lyklaorðið. |
The old council held its last meeting on February 15 in the MFS premises in Copenhagen. The agenda consisted of almost nothing but approval of the accounts and the annual report. These are printed elsewhere in the paper. | BLARK_translated | Gamla ráðið hevði sín seinasta fund 15. februar í hølum MFS í Keypmannahavn. Á skránni var næstan bara góðkenning av roknskapi og ársfrágreiðing. Hesi eru prentaði aðrastaðni í blaðnum. |
At this first meeting the enthusiasm in the council was great. The word "plaga" was declared a taboo. | BLARK_translated | Á hesum fyrsta fundi var entusiasman stór í ráðnum. Orðið "plaga" varð skýrt banniorð. |
The council confirmed that Fjølnir has developed a lot over the past year, and it was decided that this should be invested in, and now a salaried editor is to be appointed at Fjølnir. Therefore there is an advertisement for an editor in this issue of Fjølnir. | BLARK_translated | Ráðið staðfesti, at Fjølnir hevur ment seg nógv seinasta árið, og avgjørt varð, at her skuldi satsast, og nú skal løntur blaðstjóri setast á Fjølnir. Tí er lýsing eftir blaðstjóra í hesum Fjølni. |
In MFS there has previously been talk of merging Fjølnir with Oyggjaskeggja. That was then rejected, but cooperation has always existed. The editors of the two papers, René Hjelm and Kim Simonsen, are now entering a formal collaboration as the board appointed both of them as editors of Pisan '97–'98. They had submitted... | BLARK_translated | Í MFS hevur áður verið tosað um at leggja Fjølnir saman við Oyggjaskeggja. Tað varð tá av ongum, men samstarv hevur allatíðina verið. Blaðstjórarnir á teimum báðum bløðunum, René Hjelm og Kim Simonsen, koma nú í formligt samstarv við tað at ráðið setti teir báðar sum blaðstjórar á Pisuni '97-'98. Teir høvdu sent felags... |
In connection with the fact that the editor position at Fjølnir is now being paid, the topic of wage policy in the MFS as a whole was also discussed. The association has difficulties getting certain tasks completed, but it was maintained as a principle that all MFS work is unpaid and based on idealistic grounds. Howeve... | BLARK_translated | Í samband við at blaðstjórastarvið á Fjølnir nú verður lønt, varð eisini tosað um lønarpolitikk sum heild í MFS. Felagið hevur trupulleikar við at fáa ávísar uppgávur loystar, men hildið varð fast við prinsippið um, at alt MFS-arbeiði er ólønt og á idealistiskum grundarlag. Tó varð avgjørt at gera tað minni trupult at ... |
In 1997 it is 35 years since MFS was founded. There was interest on the council to do something special to mark this major event. A proposal was made to have a birthday celebration together with the summer reading festival, and the possibility of holding a grand feast was mentioned. This is something you will hear much... | BLARK_translated | Í 1997 eru 35 ár síðani MFS varð stovnað. Áhugi var í ráðnum fyri at gera okkurt serligt burturúr fyri at markera hesa stórhending. Uppskot var frammi um at hava føðingardagshald saman við lestrarstevnuni í summar, og møguleikin at halda eina rimmar veitslu varð nevndur. Hetta er nakað, sum nógv meira verður at frætta ... |
Because, unfortunately, there are few letters to the editor and other comments, we thought there was a need for a bit of feedback from readers who represent a broader crowd than the usual comments from friends and acquaintances as well as from drunk people down at Laurits at 7 on Sunday morning. | BLARK_translated | Av tí at tað tíverri er langt millum innsend lesarabrøv og viðmerkingar annars, hildu vit, at tørvur var á eitt sindur av feed-back frá lesarum, sum umboða ein størri skara, enn tær vanligu viðmerkingarnar frá vinum og kenningum umframt frá fullum fólki niðri á Laurits kl. 7 sunnumorgun. |
It turned out that those surveyed are satisfied with this procedure. The paper is now a better unit, and most consider that to be good, especially if the subject is interesting. On the other hand, if a topic in a paper completely fails to arouse and stimulate the sharp (!) reader, there is not much left to read. But th... | BLARK_translated | Tað vísti seg, tey spurdu eru nøgd við hesa mannagongd. Blaðið er nú ein betur eind, og tey flestu halda tað vera gott, serliga um evnið hevur áhuga. Hinvegin, um evnið í einum blað als ikki megnar at øsa og stimbra tann gløgga (!) lesaran, er ikki nógv eftir at lesa. Men meginparturin av teimum spurdu hildu, at hetta ... |
In his latest book Jógvan Isaksen asks: "Was Kafka from Klaksvík?" He probably wasn’t, but it is not inconceivable that he was related to someone up here, or at least was one-quarter Faroese. In any case he must have visited the Faroes at some point, because the bureaucracy he writes about in The Trial is as if cut fro... | BLARK_translated | Í seinastu bók síni spyr Jógvan Isaksen: "Var Kafka klaksvíkingur?" Tað var hann neyvan, men tað er ikki óhugsandi, at hann var í familju við onkran her norðuri, ella í minsta lagi var fjórðings føroyingur. Í øllum førum má hann hava verið í Føroyum á vitjan onkuntíð, tí skilið, hann skrivar um í Prosessini er sum klip... |
Yes, when I finish my studies, I haven't had the opportunity to have a job, I haven't been idle. Nothing to do, had to accept that in the Faroe Islands there is nothing called a graduate rate in unemployment insurance, it's not so lucky that there exists a Faroese word for graduates — in the new Danish-Faroese dictiona... | BLARK_translated | Júmen, eg verði liðug at lesa, eg havi ikki havt møguleika fyri at hava eitt arbeiði, eg havi ikki gingið fyri onki " Onki at gera, noyddist at góðtaka, at í Føroyum er onki sum eitur dimittendsatsur í arbeiðsloysistryggingini, tað er ikki so frægt, at tað finst eitt føroyskt orð fyri dimittendar - í nýggju donsk-føroy... |
I can do that, just wanted to make sure that nothing was wrong. | BLARK_translated | Tað kann eg gott, vildi bara tryggja mær, at onki var galið." |
No, nothing has come in here, where were you supposed to get money from? | BLARK_translated | Nei, her er onki komið, hvar skuldi tú fáa pengar frá?" |
"To the Social Services," I sniffed, "what is wrong now, should it really take so many days before a transfer is processed?" | BLARK_translated | Almannastovuni", suffaði eg, hvat var nú galið, eiga tað at ganga so nógvir dagar, áðrenn ein flyting verður viðgjørd? |
They transfer the money through the payment agency every Thursday, so if they were transferred on Thursday, they should have arrived by now. | BLARK_translated | Tey flyta pengarnar gjøgnum gjaldstovuna hvønn hósdag, so um teir vóru fluttir hósdagin, so skuldu teir verið frammi nú." |
On Monday the 3rd I first went to the bank to check whether money had arrived, before I, now quite tired from all the fuss, went back to the public office, but bank employee No. 5 could inform me that the balance in the account had not decreased. Then to ask what news the payment office had. | BLARK_translated | Mánadagin 3. fór eg fyrst í bankan fyri at kanna um pengar vóru komnir, áðrenn eg nú rættiliga troytt av øllum roksinum fór aftur á almannastovuna, men nr. 5 bankafólk kundi upplýsa, at undirskotið á kontoini ikki var minkað. Síðan at spyrja, hvat gjaldsstovan hevði av nýggjum tíðindum. |
I don’t know, I spoke with NN at the bank on Friday and asked her about your P-number. She said it was inactive. You have to go to the Customs and Tax Office yourself to ask them to activate the P-number. | BLARK_translated | Eg veit ikki, eg tosaði við NN í bankanum fríggjadagin, og spurdi hana um p-talið hjá tær. Hon segði, at tað var inaktivt. Tú noyðist sjálv at fara á Toll- og Skattstovuna fyri at biðja tey aktivera p-talið." |
No. 6 bank people, who now knew about my financial situation. No wonder news travels fast in this country. Well, there was nothing else to do but try the next office, the account number is well on its way up from all this running around. | BLARK_translated | Nr. 6 bankafólk, sum nú visti um mína fíggjarstøðu. Ei undur í at tíðindi ferðast skjótt í hesum landinum. Vell, har var onki annað at gera enn at royna ta næstu skrivstovuna, konditalið er væl á veg uppeftir av øllum hesum rennarínum. |
"They say my P-number is inactive," I told the clerk. "Can you help me?" | BLARK_translated | P-talið hjá mær er inaktivt, siga tey", segði eg við avgreiðslukvinnuna, "fært tú hjálpt mær?" |
No, it was seven months ago, and no one protested when I got paid in the summer. Tax was withheld, without anyone saying that the p-number had gone into coma. | BLARK_translated | Nei, tað eru sjey mánaðir síðani, og ongin mótmælti, tá eg fekk løn í summar. Skattur varð afturhildin, uttan at nakar segði, at p-talið var farið í koma." |
No, that is because it was in 1996, now it is 1997. Here is a paper that you must fill out. | BLARK_translated | Ánei, tað er tí at tað var í 1996, nú er 1997. Her er eitt pappír, sum tú skalt fylla út." |
I did that last year, but then I heard nothing about any forms needing to be filled out. Well, everything moves a bit slowly in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Tað gjørdi eg í fjør, men tá hoyrdi eg onki um, at nakað pappír skuldi fyllast út. Ná, alt gongur eitt sindur seint fyri seg í Føroyum. |
How am I supposed to know that, where does one get these papers from? | BLARK_translated | Hvussu skal eg vita tað, hvar fær ein hesi bløðini frá?" |
I have received nothing, have never heard of this before. | BLARK_translated | Eg havi onki fingið, havi ongantíð hoyrt um hetta fyrr." |
So you must be jumping around. I will fix this right away. | BLARK_translated | So mást tú verða gloppin burturímillum. Eg skal rætta hetta beinanvegin." |
Oh yes, tell me, have you ever heard of Kafka? | BLARK_translated | Jú takk, sig mær, hava tit nakrantíð hoyrt um Kafka?" |
I went home and thought that I wouldn’t ask again for the next 14 days, so SEV would just have to wait. Three days later, on February 6, a letter arrived from the bank saying that I had received money from the payment office: maintenance assistance for Dec. 1996. Wonderful. Now it will be exciting to see when or if I w... | BLARK_translated | Eg fór heim, og hugsaði at nú fór eg ikki at spyrja aftur teir næstu 14 dagarnar, so mátti SEV bara bíða. Tríggjar dagar seinni, 6. februar, kom bræv frá bankanum um, at eg hevði fingið pengar frá gjaldstovuni: Uppihaldshjálp fyri des. 1996. Herligt. Nú verður spennandi at síggja nær ella um eg fái pengar fyri januar |
The MFS council 1996–97 held its first meeting on 10 February 1996, and organized itself as follows: | BLARK_translated | MFS-ráðið 1996-97 hevði sín fyrsta fund tann 10. februar 1996, og skipaði seg soleiðis: |
Birta Biskopstø is the MFS representative on the board of the Faroese House in Copenhagen, Ólavur Ellefsen is the MFS representative on the appeals committee of the Support Institution, Erling Isholm is the MFS representative on the board of ÚSUN, and Páll Isholm represents MFS on the LFÚ committee. | BLARK_translated | Birta Biskopstø er MFS-umboð í umboðsráðnum fyri Føroyahúsið í Keypmannahavn, Ólavur Ellefsen er MFS-umboð í klagunevnd Stuðulsstovnsins, Erling Isholm er MFS-umboð í nevndini hjá ÚSUN og Páll Isholm umboðar MFS í LFÚ-nevndini. |
Daily office tasks in the Copenhagen office include, among other things: handling mail, registering members, booking membership fees, answering the phone and keeping the office open, communicating with the Support Agency, PostDanmark, Kilroy (ISIC), and sending council/committee meeting notices and reports. | BLARK_translated | Dagligar arbeiðsuppgávur á skrivstovuni í Keypmannahavn eru m.a. at avgreiða post, skráseta limir, bóka limagjald, taka telefon og hava skrivstovuopið, samskifta við Stuðulsstovnin, PostDanmark, Kilroy (ISIC), útsenda ráðs-/nevndar-innkallingar og -frágreiðingar. |
In April 1996 Áki Jacobsen was appointed as the new office worker in Copenhagen, replacing Jóannes Árting who left the position on 1 May, after having held the post since 21 October 1994. | BLARK_translated | Í apríl 1996 varð Áki Jacobsen settur sum nýtt skrivstovufólk í Keypmannahavn, eftir Jóannes Árting sum fór úr starvinum 1. mai, eftir at hava verið í starvinum síðani 21. oktober 1994. |
Work has been done to develop a membership system that will run in Access, instead of the current one that runs in Paradox. But there is still a long way to go. In the meantime Paradox will continue to be used. When the membership system is moved over to the new computer, it will run faster, but the automatic functions... | BLARK_translated | Tað hevur verið arbeitt við at útvikla eina limaskipan, sum skal koyra í Access, ístaðin fyri ta verandi, sum koyrir í Paradox. Men enn er langt á mál. Ímeðan verður koyrt víðari við Paradox. Tá limaskipanin verður flutt yvir á ta nýggju telduna, fer tað at koyra skjótari, men tær automatisku funktiónirnar, sum hava vi... |
Otherwise it must be said that the content in the magazine this year as a whole has been fairly broad. Everything from professional material, interviews, letters to the editor, MFS material and descriptions, and all kinds of reflections has featured in Fjølnir, although most of the content has been about various social... | BLARK_translated | Annars má sigast, at tilfarið í blaðnum í ár sum heild hevur verið rættiliga breitt. Alt ímillum fakligt tilfar, samrøður, lesarabrøv, MFS-tilfar og -lýsingar og øll sløg av hugleiðingum, hevur havt innivist í Fjølni, har tað mesta tilfarið tó hevur verið um ymisk samfelagsviðurskifti. |
Around the turn of the year 1996/97 the short story collection was sold in 465 copies. The book agency handles the sales in the Faroe Islands and takes care of all necessary communication with the retailers. The sales price in Faroese shops is 130 kr. per copy. For this the book agency receives 6.5% and the bookstores ... | BLARK_translated | Umleið árskifti 1996/97 er stuttsøgusavnið selt í 465 eintøkum. Bókamiðsølan tekur sær av søluni í Føroyum og hevur alt neyðugt samskifti við handlarnar. Søluprísurin í føroysku handlunum er 130 kr. fyri eintaki. Fyri hetta fær Bókamiðsølan 6,5% og bókhandlarnir fáa 35% av inntøkunum, meðan MFS sostatt fær 58,5% ella g... |
The promotion of the event was, as usual, done with posters at the schools well in advance and with a press release just before the event. In one of the first days there was an interview (approx. 20 min) on “Good morning, Faroe Islands,” where Annika talked about the event itself, why we do this and about MFS as a whol... | BLARK_translated | Lýsingin av tiltakinum var sum vanligt við plakatum á skúlunum í góðari tíð og við tíðindaskrivi beint undan tiltakinum. Ein av fyrstu døgunum var so ein samrøða gjørd (uml. 20 min) við "Góðan morgun, Føroyar", har Annika greiddi frá um sjálvt tiltakið, hví vit gera hetta og um MFS sum heild. Nógv fólk hoyra hesa sendi... |
The brochure was not finished, as had otherwise been planned, but after speaking with the study advisers we do not think this was a major problem. What matters is that those who plan to go away get the brochure around the turn of the month April/May, because by then they have really begun to think about and prepare to ... | BLARK_translated | Pisan var ikki liðug, sum annars hevði verið ætlanin, men eftir at hava tosað við lestrarvegleiðararnar meta vit ikki at hetta var ein stórvegis trupulleiki. Umráðandi er, at tey sum ætla sær burtur fáa Pisuna um mánaðarskiftið apríl/mai, tí tá eru tey av álvara farin at hugsa um og fyrireika seg uppá at fara burtur at... |
This year information evenings were organized in Vágur, Klaksvík and Tórshavn on Wednesday at 7:00 PM. Overall, attendance did not seem particularly good; in Vágur there were 6 people, in Tórshavn about 15, but in Klaksvík there were 20 people, which is the largest number up there. At all three locations representative... | BLARK_translated | Í ár var skipað fyri kunningardøgum í Vági, Klaksvík og Havn mikukvøldið kl. 19.00. Sum heild tóktist undirtøkan ikki serliga góð, í Vági vóru 6 fólk, í Havn uml. 15, men í Klaksvík vóru 20 fólk, sum er tað mesta har norðuri. Á øllum trimum støðum greiddu umboð frá MFS saman við lestarvegleiðarum frá miðnámsskúlunum fr... |
It is possible that the event was not advertised well enough, and in Tórshavn it took place the same day as some major event, so the rather poor attendance should not prevent this event from being repeated next year. Now that the induction course is no longer on the schedule, MFS should instead make more of the study g... | BLARK_translated | Tað er møguligt at tiltakið ikki varð lýst nóg væl, og í Havn lá tað sama dag sum okkurt stórt tiltak, so tann heldur vánaliga uppmøtingin eigur ikki at forða fyri at hetta tiltak verður endurtikið komandi ár. Nú pisuskeiðið ikki longur er á skránni, eigur MFS heldur at gera meira burturúr lestrarvegleiðingini í mars o... |
LFÚ held its general meeting on 24 February 1996 in Tórshavn, and Egil Rasmussen and Páll Isholm represented MFS. About half of LFÚ's members are members of MFS. At the general meeting, among other things, a board was elected, and the following were elected to it: | BLARK_translated | LFÚ hevði aðalfund tann 24. februar 1996 í Tórshavn, og Egil Rasmussen og Páll Isholm umboðaðu MFS. Umleið helvtin av limunum í LFÚ eru limir í MFS. Á aðalfundinum varð m.a. nevnd vald, og í hana komu: |
Quite a lot of people attended the meeting, and it seems that LFÚ is now fairly well on its way to recovering. Among other things, LFÚ has achieved reading discounts in quite a few places in the Faroe Islands. | BLARK_translated | Rættiliga nógv fólk var á fundi, og tað tykist sum um LFÚ nú rættuliga er við at koma fyri seg aftur. M.a. hevur LFÚ uppnátt lestraravsláttur á rættiliga nógvum støðum í Føroyum. |
The work of NOM covers education policy, support policy, and educational cooperation in the Nordic countries. MFS refers to itself as the “National Union of Faroese Students” and represents Faroese students at higher education institutions, so it is very important that we participate in international cooperation. Howev... | BLARK_translated | Arbeiðið hjá NOM umfatar úbúgvingarpolitikk, stuðulspolitikk, útbúgvingarsamstarv. í norðanlondum. MFS umtalar seg sum "National union of Faroese students" og umboðar lesandi føroyingar við hægri lærustovnar, tí er tað sera umráðandi at vit luttaka í altjóða samstarvi. Tað er tó avmarkað hvussu nógv eitt lítið felag su... |
MFS attended the NOM meeting in Copenhagen in March 1996. This time the meeting was organized as a seminar with participation from the Baltic countries. It was decided that in the future the second meeting of the year should be a seminar with participation from the Baltic countries. The topic of the seminar was the wel... | BLARK_translated | MFS var við á NOM-fundi í Keypmannahavn mars 1996. Hesuferð var fundurin skipaður sum eitt seminar við luttøku frá teimum baltisku londunum. Tað bleiv avgjørt at í framtíðini skuldi annar fundurin í árinum verða seminar við luttøku frá teimum baltisku londunum. Evnið á seminarinum var vælferðin hjá teimum lesandi, har ... |
As mentioned, the next meetings will be in Helsinki, where the main topic will be financing of further education. A finalized agenda will be sent to us later, but the time for the meeting is fixed and will not be changed. | BLARK_translated | Sum nevnt verður næsti fundir í Helsinki, har høvuðsevni verður fígging av framhaldandi útbúgving. Ein fullfíggjað skrá verður send okkum seinni, men tíðin fyri fundin er fastsett og verður ikki broytt. |
A meeting was scheduled to take place on August 18 at 2:00 PM. Attending the meeting for the government were Eilif Samuelsen, minister, and Jákup Thorsteinsson, department head. The MFS representatives were Annika Joensen, chairwoman of the council, Jógvan Páll Fjallsbak, council secretary, and Ronnie Thomassen. | BLARK_translated | Fundur varð avtalaður at vera tann tann 18. august kl. 14.00. Við á fundinum vóru fyri landsstýrið: Eilif Samuelsen, landsstýrismaður og Jákup Thorsteinsson, deildarstjóri. MFS umboðini vóru Annika Joensen, ráðsforkvinna, Jógvan Páll Fjallsbak, ráðsskrivari, og Ronnie Thomassen. |
After the meeting the following minutes were written and sent to the government. Since then nothing has been heard from Tinganes, so the report must be said to have been de facto approved by both parties. The report reads as follows: | BLARK_translated | Eftir fundin varð soljóðandi fundarfrágreiðing skrivað, og send landsstýrinum. Einki hevur síðani verið at hoyrt úr Tinganesi, so frágreiðingin má sigast at vera de facto góðtikin av báðum pørtum. Frágreiðingin ljóðar soleiðis: |
First, the changed coalition arrangements and the new cabinet in Tinganes were mentioned. The minister did not believe that the change in the coalition would have any major significance for the policies pursued in the field of education, while the administrative structural changes could bring many changes. However, the... | BLARK_translated | Fyrst vóru tey broyttu samgonguviðurskiftini og tað nýggja ráðharrastýrið í Tinganesi nevnd. Landsstýrismaðurin metti ikki at broytingin í samgonguni fór at hava nakran stórvegis týdning fyri tann førda politikkin á útbúgvingarøkinum, meðan bygnaðarbroytingarnar í umsitingini kundu hava nógvar broytingar við sær. Bygna... |
The question then became what impact the announced cuts in the budget would have on the education sector. The minister made it clear that the savings had to be made, but they should primarily be achieved through structural changes in the school system rather than across-the-board cuts. | BLARK_translated | Síðan varð nortið við, hvørja ávirkan tær fráboðaðu skerjingarnar á fíggjarlógini fáa fyri útbúgvingarøkið. Landsstýrismaðurin gjørdi greitt at sparingarnar skuldu gerast, men tær skuldu fyrst og fremst gerast við strukturbroytingum á skúlaøkinum, heldur enn skerjingum yvir ein kamb. |
To improve the relationship between MFS and the members, two member and discussion meetings were organized. The first was held in April at Føroyahúsið in Copenhagen and was titled "Faroese education policy." Gestur Hovgaard, cand. scient. adm. from RUC and a Ph.D. student, and Sigmundur Isfeldt, cand. polit. from Berge... | BLARK_translated | Fyri at bøta um sambandið millum MFS og limirnar hevur verið skipað fyri tveimum lima- og kjakfundum. Tann fyrri varð hildin í apríl, í Føroyahúsinum í Keypmannahavn, og var heitið "Føroyskur útbúgvingarpolitikkur". Gestur Hovgaard, cand. scient. adm. av RUC og Ph.D.-lesandi, og Sigmundur Isfeldt, cand. polit. úr Berge... |
There was a plan to hold another meeting, but due to the preparer’s lack of time this did not happen. That meeting was supposed to be about what role MFS should have in the future. | BLARK_translated | Tað var ætlanin at skipa fyri einum fundi afturat, men vegna tørvandi tíð hjá fyrireikararnum gjørdist hetta av ongum. Hesin fundurin skuldi snúgva seg um, hvønn leiklut MFS eigur at hava í framtíðini. |
Nearly 100 people would visit the gathering, and it received extensive coverage in the media. | BLARK_translated | Nærum 100 fólk mundu vitja stevnuna, og hon fekk drúgva umrøðu í fjølmiðlunum. |
At the first council meeting in 1996 it was decided to bring the Publishing Center back to life, which otherwise had been inactive for a certain period of time. | BLARK_translated | Á fyrsta ráðsfundi í 1996 varð avgjørt at fáa lív í Ritmiðstøðina, sum annars hevði ligið still í eitt ávíst tíðarskeið. |
The new board of FFL intends to work on several issues. These include, among other things, the relations between FADL (Foreningen af Danske Lægestuderende) and FFL, substitute wages in the Faroe Islands, and continuing education for Faroese doctors. | BLARK_translated | Nýggja nevndin í FFL ætlar at arbeiða við fleiri málum. Hesi eru m.a. viðurskiftini millum FADL (Foreningen af Danske Lægestuderende) og FFL, vikarlønir í Føroyum, eftirútbúgving fyri føroyskar læknar. |
As long as the conditions for economic stability and welfare are considered to be union and economic cooperation between nations, the unification of various ethnic minority groups into a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society is often perceived as a threat to stability in any society — both national and international. | BLARK_translated | Meðan treytirnar fyri búskaparligt støðufesti og vælferð verða hildnar at vera sameining og búskaparligt samstarv millum tjóðirnar, verður sameining av ymiskum etniskum minnilutabólkum í eitt multi-etniskt og multi-kulturelt samfelag ofta uppfatað sum ein vansi fyri støðufesti í einhvørjum samfelag - bæði tað nationala... |
It nevertheless cannot be avoided that the multi-ethnic and multi-cultural will be of great importance in the description of the international future society. | BLARK_translated | Tað slepst kortini ikki undan, at tað multi-etniska og multi-mentanarliga verður av stórum týdningi í lýsingini av internationala framtíðarsamfelagnum. |
Meanwhile the concept of the nation-state is increasingly weakening both as an ideal and as the glue that is supposed to hold society together. | BLARK_translated | Ímeðan viknar hugtakið um nationalstatin alsamt bæði sum hugsjón, og sum tað límið, sum skal samansjóva samfelagið. |
The loss of importance at the borders also lies in the economic, political, and technological currents, and as outlaws they are merely upheld by habitual thinking. That the market must be globalized, and that the role of the individual nation should be limited, also lies in the market-liberal ideology. | BLARK_translated | At landamørkini missa týdning liggur eisini í búskaparliga, politiska, og teknologiska rákinum, og sum frálíður verða tey bert uppihildin av vanahugsan. At marknaðurin skal globaliserast, og at leikluturin hjá tí einstøku tjóðini avmarkast liggur eisini í tí marknaðar-liberalu hugsjónini. |
The ability to create integration between minority groups in society will be decisive for maintaining a certain cohesion in the EU. Integration requires that people have something to unite around, some common values such as democracy, freedom, and equality. | BLARK_translated | Møguleikin at skapa integratión millum minnilutabólkarnar í samfelagnum fer at verða avgerandi fyri at uppihalda eitt ávíst samanhald í ES. Integratión hevur sum treyt, at menniskju hava nakað at standa saman um, nøkur felagsvirði sum t.d. fólkaræði, frælsi og javna. |
The question is whether the EU can continue to uphold these values. | BLARK_translated | Spurningurin er, hvørt ES framhaldandi megnar at fremja hesi virði. |
Democratic values may seem too distant and meaningless, because people want to directly influence the daily environment they live in. People may feel alienated from the institution that administers it. | BLARK_translated | Demokratisku virðini verða helst ov fjar og týdningsleys, tí menniskjað vil ávirka beinleiðis tað dagliga umhvørvið, tað livir í. Menniskjað fer møguliga at kenna seg fremmant yvir fyri stovninum sum umsitur tey. |
And this also means that the EU in the cultural sphere is hardly going to be used to unite the people of Europe, neither with a common flag nor a common language. | BLARK_translated | Og hetta hevur eisini við sær, at ES á tí mentanarliga økinum neyvan verður ført fyri at sameina fólkið í Europa, hvørki við felags flaggi ella felags máli. |
Greater integration between peoples in the EU beyond economic exchange therefore seems inconceivable. | BLARK_translated | Størri integratión millum fólkasløgini í ES útyvir tann búskaparliga samhandilin tykist sostatt óhugsandi. |
With its initiative, MFS has given Eilif Samuelsen an excellent offer; why he has not wanted to accept it is not clear. | BLARK_translated | Við sínum initiativi hevur MFS givið Eilif Samuelsen eitt frálíkt tilboð, hví hann ikki hevur vilja tikið av, er ikki gott at vita. |
A case would have been lost in Tinganes. Maybe it was a political decision. Eilif Samuelsen, Minister of Education, has in any case borne the blame for the delay. Already several times! | BLARK_translated | Eitt mál mundi blivið burtur í Tinganesi. Kanska var tað ein politisk avgerð. Eilif Samuelsen, landsstýrismaður í útbúgvingarmálum, hevur í øllum førum borið í bøtuflaka fyri drálið. Longu fleiri ferðir! |
MFS has always worked on Faroese education policy. But in the spring of 1995 the council made higher education policy a goal that MFS prioritizes particularly highly. This was considered necessary after MFS had people at the LFÚ general meeting, where they heard the minister of state speak about the government’s plans ... | BLARK_translated | MFS hevur altíð arbeitt við føroyskum útbúgvingarpolitikki. Men á vári 1995 setti ráðið hægri útbúgvingarpolitikk sum eitt mál, MFS prioriterar serliga høgt. Tað var mett neyðugt eftir at MFS hevði havt fólk á LFÚ aðalfundi, sum har hoyrdu landsstýrimannin tosa um ætlanir landsstýrisins á útbúgvingarpolitiska økinum. V... |
