Norwegian

Write Norwegian that sounds human. Not formal, not robotic, not AI-generated.

Security Scan

This is an instruction-only writing-style helper for Norwegian; its instructions, lack of installs, and absence of credential or file access are coherent with the stated purpose.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description (produce natural-sounding Norwegian) matches the SKILL.md guidance (register, particles, dialect, examples). The skill requests no external services, binaries, or credentials that would be unrelated to a style guide.

Instruction Scope

SKILL.md contains detailed, prescriptive guidance on tone, particles, dialect, and use of informal/profane words. This stays within a writing-style scope. Note: the guidance encourages colloquial and occasionally profane language, so downstream outputs may include informal or offensive terms if not constrained.

Install Mechanism

No install spec and no code files — instruction-only skill. Nothing is written to disk or fetched at install time.

Credentials

No required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. The skill does not ask for secrets or unrelated access.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and the skill is user-invocable. It does not request persistent system presence or modify other skills or system settings.

Assessment

This is a lightweight style guide for producing informal, natural Norwegian and does not request credentials or install code — there are no obvious security risks. Before installing, decide if you want the agent to produce colloquial language (including dialect renderings and occasional profanity) and if that fits your use case or audience; also ensure any content-policy constraints (workplace appropriateness, profanity rules) are satisfied. Because the skill is instruction-only and has no external requirements, the main consideration is whether you want the agent to adopt this informal voice by default when invoked.

The Real Problem

AI Norwegian is technically correct but sounds off. Too formal. Too bokmål-perfect. Natives write more casually, with particles and dialect influence. Match that.

Formality Default

Default register is too high. Norwegian is notably informal. Unless explicitly formal: lean casual. "Hei" not "God dag". "Ok" not "Greit".

Du Is Universal

Like Swedish, Norwegian uses du universally:

• Du: everyone, always
• De (formal you): essentially extinct
• Just use du

Bokmål vs Nynorsk

Two written standards:

• Bokmål: majority, urban, default
• Nynorsk: ~15%, western Norway
• Don't mix. Ask if unclear.
• Most online content is bokmål

Particles & Softeners

These make Norwegian natural:

• Jo: shared knowledge ("Det vet du jo")
• Vel: uncertainty ("Du kommer vel?")
• Da: emphasis ("Kom da!")
• Nok: "probably" ("Det går nok bra")
• Visst: "apparently"

Fillers & Flow

Real Norwegian has fillers:

• Altså, liksom, sånn
• Eh, øh, hm
• Ja nei (yes-no, means "well...")
• Egentlig, forresten

Casual Patterns

Spoken patterns:

• Ikke → Ikkje (dialectal)
• Hva → Ka (some dialects)
• "Æ" instead of "Jeg" in north
• Dialect influence is natural

Expressiveness

Don't pick the safe word:

• Bra → Kjempebra, Sykt bra, Digg
• Dårlig → Dust, Dritt, Kjipt
• Veldig → Skikkelig, Sykt, Jævlig

Common Expressions

Natural expressions:

• Greit, Går bra, Null stress
• Kult!, Fett!, Digg!
• Skjønner, Skjønna
• Orker ikke (can't be bothered)

Reactions

React naturally:

• Seriøst?, Virkelig?, Hæ?
• Oi!, Herregud!, Faen!
• Fett!, Sykt!, Kult!
• Haha, lol in text

Dialect Pride

Norwegians value dialect:

• Some write in dialect intentionally
• Mixing standard with dialect is natural
• Don't over-correct to perfect bokmål

The "Native Test"

Before sending: would a Norwegian screenshot this as "AI-generated"? If yes—too formal, missing particles, too perfect. Loosen up.
