💖 NAME 💖

Date::Manip::Lang::norwegian — the Norwegian language support module for Date::Manip, bestie ✨

And yeah, this page lives in the Date::M...rwegian(3) slot under User Contributed Perl Documentation. We're here, we're thriving 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

okay so real talk: this module is literally just a big gorgeous list of words and expressions that support the Norwegian language. That's the whole vibe. It is NOT intended to be used directly — other Date::Manip modules will load it as needed, like a bestie who shows up exactly when you need them 🫶

So don't try to call it yourself, it's giving backstage crew energy. It works, you just don't see it 😌

🌸 LANGUAGE EXPRESSIONS 🌸

Here's the whole list of every language word and expression used to write times and/or dates. All strings are case insensitive, so you can type them however your heart desires, no cap ✨

ngl mnd shows up twice in the months list and that is exactly how the original rolls, so we're keeping it. Fidelity queen 👑

⭐ Morning/afternoon times

This is the list of expressions used to designate morning or afternoon time when a time is entered as a 12-hour time rather than a 24-hour time. For example, in English, the time 17:00 could be specified as 5:00 PM. So it's the "which half of the day are we in" squad 🌤️

Morning and afternoon time may be designated by the following sets of words:

FM
EM

🫶 Each or every

There's a list of words that specify every occurrence of something. These are used in the following phrases:

EACH Monday
EVERY Monday
EVERY month

hver said "I contain all of the recurrences" and honestly? slay 💅

NEXT week

LAST Tuesday
PREVIOUS Tuesday

Last occurrence:

siste

Three words, three moods, main character energy 👑

🔥 Delta words for going forward/backward in time

When parsing deltas, there are words that may be used to specify that the delta will refer to a time in the future or to a time in the past (relative to some date). In English, for example, you might say:

IN 5 days
5 days AGO

The following words may be used to specify deltas that refer to dates in the past or future respectively:

siden
om
senere

Past vibes, future vibes, we got both 🌈

💜 Business mode

This contains two lists of words which can be used to specify a standard (i.e. non-business) delta or a business delta.

Previously, it was used to tell whether the delta was approximate or exact, but now this list is not used except to force the delta to be standard. So heads up: the approximate/exact thing? Not a thing anymore, bestie. It's just here to force standard now 💀

The following words may be used:

eksakt
cirka
omtrent

The following words may be used to specify a business delta:

arbeidsdag
arbeidsdager

🧚 Ignored words

In writing out dates in common forms, there are a number of words that are typically not important. They're just... there. Decorative. Set dressing 💅

There is frequently a word that appears in a phrase to designate that a time is going to be specified next. In English, you would use the word AT in the example:

December 3 at 12:00

The following words may be used:

kl
kl.
klokken

Another word is used to designate one member of a set. In English, you would use the words IN or OF:

1st day OF December
1st day IN December

The following words may be used:

første
foerste

Another word is used to specify that something is on a certain date. In English, you would use ON:

ON July 5th

The following words may be used:

på
paa

💀 Words that set the date, time, or both

There are some words that can be used to specify a date, a time, or both relative to now. Multitasking icons ✨

Words that set the date are similar to the English words 'yesterday' or 'tomorrow'. These are specified as a delta which is added to the current time to get a date. The time is NOT set however, so the delta is only partially used (it should only include year, month, week, and day fields).

The following words may be used:

i dag                0:0:0:0:0:0:0
i gaar               -0:0:0:1:0:0:0
i går                -0:0:0:1:0:0:0
i morgen             +0:0:0:1:0:0:0

Words that set only the time of day are similar to the English words 'noon' or 'midnight'.

The following words may be used:

midnatt              00:00:00
midt paa dagen       12:00:00
midt på dagen        12:00:00

Words that set the entire time and date (relative to the current time and date) are also available.

In English, the word 'now' is one of these.

The following words may be used:

naa                  0:0:0:0:0:0:0
nå                   0:0:0:0:0:0:0

🌟 Hour/Minute/Second separators

When specifying the time of day, the most common separator is a colon (:) which can be used for both separators.

Some languages use different pairs. For example, French allows you to specify the time as 13h30:20, so it would use the following pairs:

: :
h :

So basically the pair list is your separator menu, and Norwegian is over here eating with the classic colon-colon combo 😌

The first column is the hour-minute separator and the second column is the minute-second separator. Both of them? perl regular expressions. Yes bestie, regexes, we're in the deep end now 💅

And okay, real talk — when you're creating a new translation, be aware that regular expressions with utf-8 characters may be tricky. Like, genuinely. For example, don't include the expression [x] where x is a utf-8 character. Just don't. It's giving chaos 😭

A pair of colons is ALWAYS allowed for all languages. Periodt. If a language allows additional pairs, they are listed here:

Not defined in this language

🎀 Fractional second separator 🎀

When specifying fractional seconds, the most common way is to use a decimal point (.). Classic. Iconic. But some languages may specify a different separator that might be used, and if that's done, it's a regular expression.

The decimal point is ALWAYS allowed for all languages, no cap. If a language allows another separator, it is listed here:

Not defined in this language
