The short answer is substantially 'yes'. I find that much Norweigan is not all that difficult to understand if you take your time at it. (Allowing that I grew up in an area of the United States which was settled by many people from Norway. Many of the parents and grandparents of my childhood friends were immigrants from Norway so my ears are used to the sounds of the language.) In many words if you replace a 'k' with an 'h', you have the English word, especially words having to do with the sea. Fisk in Norweigan is fish in England. Likewise skip = ship.
yah = yes
nay = no
morning = morgen (pronouced moh-ern)
So it goes. If you give the language half a chance, you will do just fine. My hubby said that I was 5 minutes off the ship and quit speaking English. Well, that's carrying a point too far. I'd been on a luxury cruise ship with Norweigan officers for almost 2 weeks, so my ears were quite comfortable listening to Norweigan. Once I got home, it did take me a couple of weeks before I quit saying 'yah' for 'yes'.... or did I?
