A little while back, I posted some illustrations of bad, but funny, translations of Norwegian words here on Bored Panda.

You people seemed to like it, so I decided to make yet another post with weird Norwegian idioms as well.

    I've read 976 books since I was 9. I'm 10 and it has been 5 months since my birthday.

    Good for you! Is your goal 1000? It's too bad more young people don't love reading as much as you. Maybe you'll be writing them some day 🙂

    In German you could say something like reading rat (Leseratte) or book worm (Bücherwurm).
