...check out... Explanation: The correct translation for the whole sentence may be impossible to get right out of context. This sounds literary rather than technical; you need not be literal. One thing is clear, however. Here we have a case of Norglish,... viz. Norwegian appropriation of American slang, as is quite common. ( : And here the original form is not hard to trace etymologically : ) |
