Re: Funny Things You Overheard Recently

Interesting, we don't use the gendered student terms often in Norwegian, nor the gendered terms for teacher and such, we just use the "masculine" form, but it makes it easier when telling a story as you can be precise about gender without having to say more than like one more letter. Coursemate is weirdly enough the direct translation of the word you use for classmates in 1-13th grade in Norwegian.

Anyway thank you for taking the time to explain it to me!

Oh and another question, is student used for both higher ed. and for 1-13th grade? Or do you have different words for it, I know pupil I am just not sure if you use them interchangeably or if it is a UK/US English thing, or if it has a divide like the two Norwegian words.

No problem. :) May I ask what the Norweigian words for student are?

Hmm... That's a tricky question. Just so I'm being clear in my terms here, the school system in the UK goes:

Primary school (Year 1 - Year 6)
Secondary/High school (Year 7 - Year 11)
College or Sixth Form (I'm guessing this is equivalent to Norweigian 12th and 13th grades?)
University

Sorry if you already knew that, just wanted to be sure I wasn't being confusing with terminology.

Okay, so I can't speak for the US, but in the UK 'pupil' is more common for people attending up until Secondary school. It would also get used for Sixth Forms I think. However, the term 'pupil' has quite an old fashioned feel to it, and I get the impression that 'student' is slowly replacing it. In the same way that Secondary school is slowly becoming High school (although that's also because of American media).

Same here, I will reply to your reply at some point, at the latest when the next post is up depending on how hectic my schedule ends up being.

Skoleelev or Elev for 1-13th grade
Student* - For Higher Education Then the female version is "Studinne", but it really isn't used that much, just like the female version of friend, only when needed.

20 years ago no one in Higher Education would dream of calling themselves an "Elev" now we are more relaxed, but "I am a Student as I study" and you wouldn't use that expression for anyone not in Higher Education, they learn not study. Just like I don't "go to school", "I study" or "go to Name Of Uni" or "Study whichever degree you are getting". It is getting less strict and there are some overlap between High School and Uni (as we do Trade School at the same age as High School)

*We pronounce it differently, but same word.

No wonder we learnt pupil in school then, as they taught us the completely useless "International English" which only exists in books and is pretty much made up of UK English, just not always the modern or most common words.

I am familiar with the British Education system, we even learnt why you call the school you pay for Public schools instead of Private schools in a lecture not to long ago. But not familiar enough to know exactly which term you use for which age group. We do High School from either 11th to 13th grade or 11 and 12th grade if you take the Trade School route. And junior high from 8th to 10th grade, while Primary school is 1st to 7th grade. (tho only 1st to 10th grade is required by law, up to year 13 is not mandatory, but you are guaranteed a spot in a program, then Uni we all and we all have the same scholarship/loan system)
