It's a childrens story character. Kids in Norway are crazy about him. He is one of the main themes in the zoo/amusement park in Kristiansand. They have a midnight theatre (23:00-00:30) with ridiculously high production value. Went there this summer with my four year old twins who had an absolute blast of a time.
O.O this place??

that looks awesome
Yeah! Dyreparken is Norwegian for The Zoo. ( dyr = animal)
Dyr = Tier = Deer
For those wondering, in Old English deer used to be a more general term for animals before it changed to the modern meaning.
Venison has a similar linguistic history, originally being any wild game meat before narrowing to be specifically that of deer. I wouldn't be surprised to find out they did it in lock step. It would make sense, anyway.
It's pronounced almost the same as deer. But the Y is pronounced as the Y in rythm.
That's a completely made-up word, so nobody has any idea what sound that's supposed to be.
Every word is completely made up if you think about it. But are you saying nobody knows how to pronounce the Norwegian word Dyr, or the English word Rythm? Either way there are millions of people who disagree with you.
I assume they're commenting on the fact that you misspelled the word 'rhythm.'
I see. I didn't know that rhythm had two H'es. Thanks for clearing that up. I'll let it sit so that the comment chain makes sense. I can't say that the other comment was in any way helpful though.
i sy
Brings back memories. I haven't thought about that place in years. Glad it's still awesome.
i don't know him, but i'll bet Captain Sabertooth would say you found the real treasure, matey
thank you! i really want to visit and probably just stay in Norway.. if i went to a Norwegian Pirate Zoo i know i would never come back..
Go for it if you can afford it! It's really expensive by Norwegian standards. We didn't live at the park, sans the one night we were at the show, but at a friend who lives in the neighboring city.
ah that's cool when you can call on a friend nearby.. it sounds like a dangerously cheerful place, i gotta see it.. i'll start saving my pennies..
