Norwegian to English

[G.S.90s]

Just thought I'd share some norwegian-english translations, some words are written the same as in english or almost, but could have a different meaning, and one letter could change the entire sentence alltogether depending on the context.
Why? I don't know, maybe I would like to hear an opinion of the words, from someone who doesn't speak it as a mother tongue/first language.
