How many words are there in Norwegian?

That is a very difficult question to answer because:

In norwegian, you are allowed to put different words together, on order to form new words! Let us compare to english, shall we? :P

Say I want to speak about a bottle that's meant to contain soda:

I'd refer to it as a soda bottle, right? That's two words to describe one thing.

In norwegian, you'd simply put the two words together, in order to form a new word, refering only to this particular item:

Brus (=soda) Flaske (=bottle), brusflaske (=soda bottle)

Ok, taking it up a notch: Soda bottle lable

Etikett (=lable), Brusflaskeetikett (= soda bottle lable)

Nice, huh? but it makes it really hard to count how many words there are, as I just "made up" two, and they're both perfectly valid norwegian words :P

Also, there are two (very similar but) different written languages in norway, so essentially, you have a slightly altered valid version of most words(!)

so it's pretty much impossible to say it accurately, but I don't think I'm far off if I say that at the very least there are no fewer valid norwegian words, than there are valid english words.

Which country would you guess has a lower population desity Norway or Italy Why?

Norway, obviously. Norway has a relatively large land mass, but a small population of 5 million.

Very little of the land is good for agriculture and a lot of it is mountains, great for trekking, not so much for sustaining a large population, especially in such a cold climate. The population is therefore limited to coastal areas (fish is plentiful), plus a few fertile valleys and plains.

Italy is actually slightly smaller than Norway area wise, but has well over ten times the population.

Why did Russia not occupy Norway?

Russia had quite enough to contend with against the Finns in 1939. I think the Germans only occupied Norway to deny it from the British, it also ensured that Swedish Iron ore could be sent by sea from Narvik, which is ice free in winter. I don't think Norway was ever on the Soviets list of places to visit....
