Translation Please
Mike_Elton	[?] Can anyone tell me what "hermer" means? <e.g.> og det er mange hermer etter han. Thanks [8D]
jwiborg	Hmm... do you mean "det er mange som hermer etter han"...? "Herme" means to copy someone, mimic..., i.e. you do exactly what the other person do. "Det er mange som hermer etter han" means that there are many people who copy what that person do and does it after him... copy-cats... [:)] //Jan
Borge	Maybe it would make more meaning if Mike provided a little more of the text, so we can figure out the context.
Mike_Elton	Here is the entire sentence from the Valdres Bydgebok. Vart tidleg veikhelsa, sa han vann lite, men han skjemta bort fattigdomen og veikskapen sin, og det er mange hermer etter han. Thanks!
ninakarls	I think "hermer" is dialect (or nynorsk) for "munnhell" i.e. "bywords" or "(familiar) sayings" according to Norwegian-English dictionary.
