Talk:Panserbjørne

message: There is a grammatical error in this article.
"A panserbjørne" should be changed to "A panserbjørn" as "panserbjørne is plural.
It would be the same as saying "An armoured bears" in English.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.49.102.85 (talk • contribs) 
I'm changing the citation for Panserbjørne from Danish to Norwegian. Though it does translate "armoured bears" in Danish, it also translates "armoured bears" in Norwegian. Since the bears are from Svalbard, I feel the change is appropriate, as Svalbard is Norwegian territory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.65.213.139 (talk • contribs) 
In our world, yes, but this isn't about our world.  Panserbjørn is presumably "Norrowayan".  Read the books. garik 20:09, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: After re-reading parts of Northern Lights, I have discovered that they never use Panserbjørne in the singular form, but say "one of the Panserbjørne", so presumably it is plural, not singular. I am yet to scan it totaly thoroughly, but I think 87.49 is correct in this regard. As a general rule, I always assume things in parallel copies of our worlds are the same unless stated otherwise, or conditions in the otherworld are sufficiently different to make it impossible for them to be the same in both worlds, which may be a little POV I will admit, but the languages of HDM seem to be gramatically exactly the same as our world, just using different vocabulary. However, I will not make any changes until I have searched thoroughly and found evidence either way.211.30.132.2 04:31, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

message: 'Panserbjørne' is grammatical wrong and should be changed to 'Panserbjørner' (Armored Bears), and the article name to 'Panserbjørn' (Armored Bear).
Unless it is written 'Panserbjørne' in plural form in the book, then it is not Norwegian as the article states. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.16.184.8 (talk • contribs) 
:And so it is.  Let's keep in mind that this is a fictional race, living in a fictional country in a fictional world, who happen to be named in a fictional language based on Norwegian.  Don't let's confuse the two. garik 20:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed- in the book they are referred to as "Panserbjørne" and should therefore be named as such in the article. If the book was ambigous, however, I would support the name change.211.30.132.2 11:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  'Panserbjørne' is the grammatically correct plural form of 'armored bears' in Danish.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.66.176.57 (talk) 22:07, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  'Panserbjørner' not 'Panserbjørne' 

message: I have reverted the reference to "armed" combat to "unarmed". If they were to fight in armed combat, they would need weapons, not armour. You can have armour on, but be unarmed- like wearing a bulletproof vest, but not carrying a gun. And "armoured combat" is not a term. If they used swords, guns, or something else, then they would be armed. Just explaining my changes. 211.30.132.2 11:52, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
