I saw somewhere that the Nordic word for computer can be translated as number witch, so I thought I’d try to visualize that.

    Not really important, as the idea is cool, but regardless; as a Nordic, i can’t think of a single word we use for computer that would translate to number witch 🤔

      It’s the icelandic word Tölva!

      A mix of Tölur (numbers) and Völva (Seeress).

      I guess the rest of you nords dont know how to make up cool new words like us!

      Jeg spiser en sandwich og bruger min computer. 😅

      Vs

      Ég borða samloku og nota tölvuna mína.

        Aaah! The thought did strike me that maybe it could be Icelandic or Finnish, i know you guys up in Iceland in particular are really dedicated to inventing new native words for absolutely everything, and never using loan words
