Norwenglish or Tästä English is a pidgin language formed by mixing Norwegian with English. Many of the words that arise from it are also common errors Norwegians sometimes make when speaking or writing English, or when desperately lacking an English word when speaking. Other than being the result of incorrect translation or the actual use of a Norwegian word in an English sentence, Norwenglish can also be linguistic constructs that are blindly and incorrectly based on Norwegian syntax.
Norwenglish was a central component in the highly popular Christmas TV series The Julekalender, the title itself being a Norwenglish construct.
Examples
* "I laid it on the table." The Norwegian verb "å legge" has similarities to the English "to lay", but the meaning of the Norwegian word is "to put".
