Nb: «Fiskekakene mine er lette og luftige», argumenterte Sven en dag.

Nb: Denne krangelen hadde pågått i flere uker, og de to vennene kunne aldri komme til en konklusjon.
En: This argument had been going on for weeks and the two friends could never reach a conclusion.

Nb: Alle som spiste fiskekakene sine var enige om at begge oppskriftene var deilige, men verken Sven eller Elin ville rokke.
En: Everyone who ate their fishcakes agreed that both recipes were delicious, but neither Sven nor Elin would budge.

Nb: En dag bestemte de to seg for å sette argumentet sitt på prøve.
