Hi, my name is Cyrus, I'm an 18 year old American student. I am a proficient (native)English speaker. I also speak Other, unless it's a real language. I'm hoping to study abroad in the near future, and I might be visiting Norway soon! I love reading, watching movies, cooking, listening to music, playing music, computers, technology, photoshop, laughing and sleeping. And everything else. And limes. And sweaters. I really really like sweaters.

    "‘You want some?’ ‘Yeah, safe.’" doesn't make any sense :s The sentence "I like him, he's safe." is a bit ambiguous; it could mean many things. Here are some possibilities: (in a relationship context) "he is unlikely to break up with me, or he's not very attractive" It could also, maybe, mean "he makes me feel safe" though that would be very stylized, and not technically correct.

    "er" vs. "ende" These seem to be the same thing to me lol. I read that "[norsk verb]+ende" is equivalent to "[engelsk verb]+ing" ...but I've also read that "[norsk verb]+er" is equivalent to "[engelsk verb]+ing"

    Living is only beautiful because death promises to end it. We can't understand the living because they are dynamic; they always change. In death we become static, and therefor complete.

    "I like your face" is an odd sounding sentence. I think you are trying to say "I think you are pretty"(if it's a girl) or "I think you are handsome." (for a guy). And yes, if someone said one of these things it would be an appropriate response to feel happy, because it's a compliment.

    "Get it all nice and good and cracked. " She is just saying that she is going to thoroughly crack the egg. Saying two or more redundant phrases is something that Americans sometimes do...I guess it's a kind of idiom? I'm not sure. "Well and good", meaning "that's fine, BUT" Example: "That's all well and good, but I need someone here by 5 O'clock." Several exclamations of how good something is when it's not actually good. (sarcasm) Example: *something bad happens* "Great! Fantastic! Awesome! We're screwed." *something bad happens* "Awesome! Excellent! Super! That's just really fantastic!" "Nice and..." or "Good and..." mean "thoroughly" Examples: "I hope you're good and ready!" "The food is in the oven, it should still be nice and hot when we get home."

    This sentence means: "Tim is going to go to a conference next week, so he won't be able to see you until the weekend." A comma(",") signifies a pause. If you are listing things, the last comma is followed by an "and". A period(".") signified an end to a sentence. Examples: "I'm not sure who I am, or who you are, or what we are doing here." "I need to see John, Anthony and Cora." "I don't care where he is, just get him here."

    during or for

    What is difference "during" and "for", examples please :)

     

    Examples:

    "I only eat during the day."

    "I only sleep during the night."

    "It's not polite to talk during the movie."

     

    "I'll wait for you."

    "I'm here for the wedding."

    "What are we here for?"

    Can you give some of the writing before it? It's hard to tell without context.

    It's a hard to put a finger on it...They should mean the same thing...But they don't. In spoken English "cleaning" is the simple act of washing something. "cleanse", however, is often used metaphorically. It's usually talking about a mental or spiritual change, rather than about the removal of dirt. Examples: "I was cleansed by solitude." "I am haunted by guilt...I need to cleanse my spirit. " "I cleaned the bathroom." "The floor needs cleaning."
