OK I know DU has a lot of Random People with Random Knowledge but do we have any Norwegians or Norway talkers here?

How do you pronounce the name of Norway's former P.M. who liked raping Epstein's girls. (allegedly) Thorbjorn Jagland?

Torn Bjorn (as in Bjorn Borg) Ya egg Lund???

1. Tor-byorn Yag-loond

😁

EDIT: To refine a little: Thorbjørn is more like “Tor-byurn.” The O-slash is pronounced differently from a regular O.

2. Toorbyurn Yahglahn', approximately.

The U vowel in Norwegian is pronounced somewhat like the German ü. D at the end of a word is usually not pronounced, or is just glanced over. The long O in Thorbjørn is more of an oo sound, and ø is a sort of uh sound. Th is pronounced T.

3. Even better

8. How would you pronounce Olav Bjaaland?

He was one of the successful explorers that reached the South Pole.

Thanks

[Ocelot II]

9. Olav as it's spelled. Bjaaland more like Bjolan'

because "aa" is the older version of "å," which is pronounced like "o".

4. Sorry, I'm just an "America talker" nt

[Botany]

6. I think the correct term is English Speaker.* But to Trump's base America Talker works.

*. Just saying.

[EYESORE 9001]

5. I pronounce his name

‘UP-SHIT-CREEK’

Unlike the good ol’ U S of A, civilized societies hold their leaders accountable for the crimes they commit.

7. Or BURNT TOAST

Anyhow, it's nice to see that some countries
really go harsh against pedophiles, as they
should.
