I had no idea the name Kari was used anywhere else then in Norway! Its a common used name here. Kari and Ola Nordmann (Kari and Ola Norwegian) is a frase used to describe the avarage, typical norwegian. Mostly used to simplify things in newpapers and such. Like instead of "Results show that the avarage norwegain female likes apples better carrots", they can say "Kari Nordmann likes apples better than carrots." Or they use the names to show how to fill out a form or how your name will appear on you creditcard and such. They just took the 't' and 'e' out of my name [Kateri] and made Kari's
It's sort of like Tom, Dick and Harry.

The weird thing was that my great grandpa died at 64 on Febuary 9th, the day I was due, and my mom had me at 26 years old!
Remember when I told you my grandma was named Kateri, I discovered it's not Kateri, it's Katima, but I was close! We just call her grandma Katie. 
...I thought I could come here to say...I AM A BOY!!! 
I hope I can get to knoe you better sometime! see you around!
Chat and Journal entries should be done in English only too, except for the occasional snippette or during the Languagge Guild's chat-room sessions. We don't want to allienate anyone by forming language cliques.
