Have just had some post returned, but the reason it has been returned is written in I think it's Norweigan.


Does anyone know what ikke hentet non reclame might mean please?

have looked for a translation website but can't find one that will work for me!!!

tried this but it was not much help with the phrase.

try 1 word a time? :confused:

I think that you have two languages here.

Ikke hentet - ikke is the norwegian negative i.e. "not" and hentet is the past tense of hente "to fetch or bring"
It could mean just "not delivered" although a reverse translation does not give the same result!


and

Non reclame - is French for "not claimed".

Thanks for your help- I'm glad the post office have only told me that it was not delivered. There's no way I could have worked that out for myself having had it returned!

It means 'open discreetly- porn enclosed' :thumbsup:

reclame could be misspellt reklame , ie adverts... ikke hentet means 'not picked up'. In norway you can stop unsolicited advertisements by post and phone, like here, so it could have been misinterpreted as a spam mailing?
