Norwegian: over påske, over jul

[Camril]

Det er to setninger:

De skal komme hit over påsken
De skal gå på kurs rett over jul

Betyr det at begge handlingene vil skje "i løpet av" påske og jul eller "etter/etterpå" påske og jul?

 

[Svenke]

Det betyr 'etter'.

 

[winenous]

Det betyr 'etter'.

In both cases? Isn't there at least some ambiguity in the first example?

 

[raumar]

No, there is no ambiguity here. "Over" means "on the other side of" in this context.

If you describe a state instead of an action, this is a bit different. For example, "De skal bli her (til) over påsken", means "They will stay here until after Easter" ("til" can be dropped).

 

[winenous]

Thank you for the further explanation, @raumar. I was not clear about the distinction between the state (with implied til) and the action.
