Awww, I think I have a crush on Norway ^^ It´s kind of weird considering that I don´t like most real Norwegian boys...
If you don´t mind, I have some comments meant as advice not as critic ^^ There are two ways of saying "I love you" in Norwegian. "Jeg er glad i deg", like you used, but you can also say "Jeg elsker deg". The last one is the one that is more, let´s say, powerfull? It´s the one you would use for someone you truely love, like your girlfriend/boyfriend or something. The first one is what you would use for family or very close friends. You can say that to your boyfriend or girlfriend, as well, but sometimes it can fall a little weak. "Jeg er glad i deg" does indeed mean "I am happy in you", but "Jeg elsker deg" is directly translated to "I love you". I would under these circumstances understand if you meant to use "Jeg er glad i deg" because they don´t really know eachother that well, and they aren´t in a real relationship yet, but I thought maybe you wanted to know about the other one also ^^
Jeg elsker fortellingen din, btw ^^ (I love your story)

XD The Hetalia guys are always better than real guys, huh?
I don't mind at all! :D I looked around a whole bunch so I could figure out which one I should use. From what I understood it was almost "I like you' vs. 'I love you.' Is that right? I think the 'jeg elsker deg' might seem too powerful in the story, since it's the first time it would be said and they aren't even really together yet. I'm glad that the 'jeg er glad i deg' fits though! And thanks for explaining everything! I so hardly know how to speak anything but English (which I'm still bad at) so having some one who speaks the language explain is a big help~! :D
Aww, thank you~! I'm glad! :aww:

Yeah, Hetalia guys seem to be better than the real deal. Hahaha, sometimes I pretend my school is like a hetalia "world" because of all the different nations there ^^ Still, well... let´s just say I vote for hetalia ;P

If you ever need help with other Norwegian phrases or just need something translated so that it will sound authentic, feel free to send me a note! :D Jeg elsker å hjelpe til ^^ (I love to help out :D)
