An older book may still give Norway about 4.7 million people (2014); though actually more than five million live there now. The country is known for fjords (long, narrow arms of sea between high cliffs), for fishing, for oil from the North Sea, and for wood from its forests.

An older book舊一點的書 may still give Norway about 4.7 million people可能還寫Norway大約有470萬人 (2014)（2014年）；though actually不過事實上 more than five million live there now現在住在那裡的人超過五百萬。The country這個國家 is known for以⋯聞名 fjords峽灣 (long, narrow arms of sea between high cliffs高聳懸崖間狹長的海灣)，for fishing也以捕魚聞名，for oil from the North Sea也以北海的石油聞名，and而且 for wood from its forests也以森林的木材聞名。

So you can meet a Norwegian, eat Norwegian salmon, or study Norwegian. The country itself is called Norway, not Norwegian — an easy mix-up, because pairs like Japan / Japanese train us to hear the longer word as the country too.

So所以 you can meet你可以認識 a Norwegian一個Norwegian人，eat吃 Norwegian salmonNorwegian鮭魚，or study或是學 Norwegian語言Norwegian。The country itself國家本身 is called Norway叫Norway，not Norwegian不叫Norwegian — an easy mix-up這很容易搞混，because因為 pairs like Japan / Japanese像Japan／Japanese這樣的配對 train us to hear the longer word as the country too讓我們習慣把比較長的字也當成國名。

Though actually there is not just one written Norwegian; the country uses more than one written form, but as a learner you can treat Norwegian as one label until you need that finer point.
