Help the Nordic Languages forum get off to a good start by asking some questions.
Steps:
If someone's language background isn't perfect, don't treat him/her badly.
2. Quoted material
4. Look for the answer in dictionaries first (see the "resources" post for some links to online dictionaries).
5. Thread titles
6. Always provide an example sentence and give context.
7. Chat language and chat spelling are not allowed in any language used (unless as the subject of a specific question). Use proper capitalisation.
8. Be polite.
The use of "Hello", “Hi” and "Thank you" is welcome.
9. Don’t use the forum as a chatboard (it is inefficient); use the private message (PM) feature if you want to send a personal message to another forum member
10. Do not post links to commercial sites. This is an advertising free forum and we want to keep it this way.
11. If you have further questions please post them in the Comments and Suggestions Forum or send a private message (PM) to your favorite moderator.
12. Use the Report link in the lower left of each post, if you see a post that contains questionable language/pictures, if you feel it does not belong to this specific forum, or if you think it should come to the attention of the moderators for some other reason. This will help to run the forum smoothly.
13. Please check the forum rules periodically since they will be updated whenever necessary.

Steps:
- Register.
- Click "New Thread" to ask a question.
If someone's language background isn't perfect, don't treat him/her badly.
2. Quoted material
- Song lyrics may be quoted and translated up to a maximum of 4 lines. Threads and posts with song lyric quotations and translations beyond 4 lines will be removed.
- No web pages or copyrighted content may be inserted into WordReference posts except as indicated below. Minor fair use excerpts from dictionaries such as a definition/translation or two are permitted. Quotes and translations of texts up to 4 sentences are permitted. Links to content elsewhere are acceptable and appropriate, provided such links meet the requirements stated elsewhere in these rules. Always acknowledge the source. All forms of inserted content that do not meet these conditions will be removed without exception.
4. Look for the answer in dictionaries first (see the "resources" post for some links to online dictionaries).
5. Thread titles
- Put the word or phrase in the title when asking a question (avoid "translation please", "how do I say this?", "does this word exist?", "I'm new", "Help!" and the like).
- Always indicate in English which language your question is asking about (example: Norwegian: full klaff). Using the same English labels for all threads makes it easier to search the forum for relevant posts. If your question encompasses multiple languages, indicate this as well (example: All Nordic languages: False friends).
6. Always provide an example sentence and give context.
7. Chat language and chat spelling are not allowed in any language used (unless as the subject of a specific question). Use proper capitalisation.
8. Be polite.
The use of "Hello", “Hi” and "Thank you" is welcome.
