No it is normal Norwegian, but in norway we do put words together witch you don't.
nr 19 is 2 words put together where the first is "forkiling" and the other is "ekspert". If you find out what they mean I will tell you. At the moment you are halvway into the bush.

Exclaimations are important.In the terrible floods in the Dakotas a few years ago they showed a man inspecting his house .He looked inside and said "uff-da" !!!..When we say "that's right" a Norwegian would say "accurate " !!

Uff Da is a popular expression and you even see it on a lot of bumper stickers.
