How you say?... "BASS"???

[girlonbass]

Australian

Bass = Baass Mate
Bass Guitar = baass Gi-toir
Electric Bass = ACDC baass
Double Bass = Dubble Baass Mate

Toooo funny!

I'll add the double bass, correct a small pinyin error - and add characters just for fun

Electric Bass: diànbèisī 电贝司

Sorry, I forgot electricity was dian, not dien. My bad. I was also too lazy for the accented pinyin

Finnish:

Bass: basso
Bass guitar: bassokitara
Electric bass: sähköbasso
Double/upright bass: kontrabasso (there's also an informal name läskibasso which translates to 'fat bass')
Bassist: basisti

Or:

Bassist: Työtön. Kuuro. Yleensä omistaa ison auton.

Norwegian:
Bass = Bass (not pronounced base, but the Spanish way)
Bass guitar = Bassgitar
Electric bass = elbass (short for elektrisk bass)
Double bass = kontrabass
Bassist is of course also bassist

Pretty similar to English. While an American or Englishman would have a hard time understanding any Norwegian, I feel that English is pretty simple as a lot of words are basically the same. Pronunciation is more straight forward in Norwegian though, just like Spanish, and therefore sounds pretty different.

Suomi... the world's most interesting language, to be sure... I do have a passing familiarity with Hungarian, so Finnish grammar, at least, is not so alien to me, what with 15 noun cases and the like, but still, you gotta love it... oh, by the way, I own a rather small-ish car, but it serves my needs, thank you very much well, at least my bass fits nicely... if there's no-one else in the car, that is

The key-word is "yleensä". Try typing the sentence:"vaimo jätti, rahat loppui, pakko pantata basso" to the Google-translator. That's why I have a small car too...

I can say from my experience that after learning German at school and English at the university, Norwegian was a breeze.
