Hi Teja!
I've got a 12 year old daughter who is just as
feisty as you and she's one of the best things that ever happened to me! I
think it's great that you're learning ON. I wish my kids would show that
kind of initiative!
Bye the way, a tip for telling the gender of
nouns... have a look at the adjective (if there is one) because the form of that
can often give you a clue about the gender of the noun. For example, heiðr
(heath) and hestr (horse) could easily be the same gender. But when
there´s an adjective there, it's form might give you a clue.
e.g. hann sér rauða heiði - must be fem
because the adjective ends in -a
but hann sér rauðan hest - must be masc
because it ends in -an
Good luck!
Sarah.

HEY MIKEY!!!!!
I'm not new to this group, but I might as well be. Prepare to be
amazed. A thought that goes something like, "Is this kid dumb or
what!!" shall go skateboarding through
your mind when you read that I'm an idiot twelve year old kid who wants to
learn old norse by eighth grade and couldn't spell "limbo" in the spelling
bee, which was held in the auditorium in front of her whole middle
school. You probably know lots of stuff about old norse that I
don't. I'm still trying to figure out how to tell a feminine word from
a masculine one. So, realize that you aren't the only intimidated
person here. I, for one, would like to congradulate you on your
courage of speaking up on your first time. I did that too, but
eventually learned to shut up (but not when there was a chance of starting
an argument. I did something once that got everybody all fighty and
stuff. I think Arlie's still mad at me. No
offense!!) Arlie's a moderator. I'm a smart mouth wild
thing who makes people mad. What are you? I hope you and I can
get through old norse and that my greeting gets through.
Bye!!!
Teja Anneliese Johnson-Lewis and isn't that a
mouthful?!
