The first one is real but not the second.

[-] Dojan@pawb.social 8 points 4 months ago

It probably is real. Google Translate gets updated and translations change over time. It used to translate “inglasat uterum” (Swedish) as “glazed uterus.”

It means glass-encased veranda.

It no longer translates it to that.

I had to check, the Finnish word "kinkkukiusaus" which is a ham and potato casserole, still translates to "ham temptation"

[-] vivendi@programming.dev 3 points 4 months ago

Use it as a part of some other compound. It will translate fine.

For example, try slutt datafag lærd

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Just gonna slide in here to say that both that and the original is basically gibberish, my best-effort translation of the last one would just be "stop computer science educated"

[-] vivendi@programming.dev 7 points 4 months ago

Yes well google translate sucks

However datafag is rad as shit so I'm going to invoke law of cool vs boring

[-] ignotum@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Then let me bestow this blessed knowledge upon thee
A field of study is called "fagfelt"

There is no way Norwegian is a real language
