Plural of snus?

[Snusdog]

VBS, snusa was closa but sneese is sweeta

Don't make me get out my SNUSAPHONE

Damn it that’s twice in a single night on a single thread :shock:

…I now also get this as well ops:

It was actually Mojo who came up with “snusa” and not VBS.

For those of you keeping score at home: I have thus far-

1. Ripped M’s rightful credit
2. After which I then dropped a “musician” blast on him.

Will this outrage be tolerated? Will it be allowed to continue?

….Anyway my apologies mate. Seems I’m having a banner night. :?

When snus portions are plural
It's called a snusa portion packet

And when they're plural in a tin
It's a snusa portion Lacket packet

AND when snusa portions
Sit with sneese in a fridge
They call it a sneesing
Freezing snusa Lacket packet.
AND...

When snusa mix with snusa
In a freezing Lacket packet
And the sneesin snusa portions
Are dripping droopy teabags

...they call this
A snusa drippy
Sorta dippy
Sneesin freezin squeezin
AND...

When snusa get to squeezin
In a portion
Of a packet
And the fridge is
Packing portions
And the people
Post on SnusOn

...they call this
A Snusin snusa
Freezin Squeezin
Drippy droopy
Sneesy Portion
Snusa Lacket packet
AND...

Now wait a minute
Mr. VB Snus!

When a poster's in
A thread where the snus is
Gettin' mushy
In their portions
And their packets
Dripping juice so good
You smack it

THIS is what they call
some portion happy people
Snusing sneese or snusa
Freezing plenty packets
Drippy droopy
From Swedish Match, sir!

Our game is done, sir.
Thank you for
A lot of fun, sir.

Wittgenstein also pointed out that there is a difference between a word being meaningful and a word having meaning. snuses may be meaningful in that we all know what we are trying to say but it does not mean that it facilitates a clear understanding of its reference. Snuses mis-denotes the nature of what we are taking about and thus clouds rather than clarifies.

Now in truth, we may never notice this confusion. It may never effect what we are trying to say. But consider, just because we don’t notice the pickpocket does not mean that we have not been impoverished (in fact it more likely insures that we have). Language matters. Ideas count. When either are neglected or become sloppy, you will be robbed.

Borrowed foreign words often receive an s/es ending. The same is true in German. Since it is not a collective plural in Swedish and has a distinct plural form your argument is nonsensical. What clear understanding are you trying get across?

Wittgenstein's word/language game theory is a strong background component of postmodern philosophy and this particular case would probably be better served by going more in line with a Deleuzo-Guattarian rhizomatic theoretical construct rather than trying to apply Wittgensteinian word/language game theory in an inappropriate context. The rhizome has been mapped already by precedent through current usage. Of course, if you can show how another form would be a deterritorializing rupture and a true line of flight (and get the masses to agree) then I'm open to such an argument.

i would buy that book

[sheilalynn]

I just use snus for both single and plural pieces/cans/pris/whatever. But I guess a "ton of snus" could be a "snoogleplex" or "snoogle"? :P (as in googleplex)

Borrowed foreign words often receive an s/es ending. The same is true in German. Since it is not a collective plural in Swedish and has a distinct plural form your argument is nonsensical. What clear understanding are you trying get across?

Wittgenstein's word/language game theory is a strong background component of postmodern philosophy and this particular case would probably be better served by going more in line with a Deleuzo-Guattarian rhizomatic theoretical construct rather than trying to apply Wittgensteinian word/language game theory in an inappropriate context. The rhizome has been mapped already by precedent through current usage. Of course, if you can show how another form would be a deterritorializing rupture and a true line of flight (and get the masses to agree) then I'm open to such an argument.

If memory serves me correctly, the Rhizome model (at least in its origin) concerns epistemology and epistemic methodology not linguistics. Yet even in its adaptation to education (as a social and negotiated event) it would share something of Wittgenstein’s view of language as social/public (though W would maintain a more conventional and stable set of rules by which the public activity is identified and engaged). As far as post modern goes, the Rhizome model, with its fluidity and multiperspectivalism (or as you put it, “deterritorializing”) is about as postmodern as you can get.

Regardless, you win the argument. Snus has a plural in its language of origin and thus is not viewed as a collective. End of story.

Thus, it is with delight that I concede the field to you and cast my vote for sneese

Pease bro and may the snus (in all its glorious morphological forms) abide 8)

Linguistics is amazing. I wish I had as much familiarity with the subject as Snusdog and NorSnuser but the one class I took in college was fascinating. In particular the process that resulted in English combining the language of the Germanic conquers, the French that dominated the Royal Court, and the native Celtic languages.

Now that blotgode has weighed in, I'm going with snusar (for those times when snus doesn't work by itself as a plural). I see snusa already has a happy home as a word.

[chossy]

one snus, two snusar
one snusdosa, two snusdosor (dosa=can)
using snus=snusa
snus=pris (not used very often)pop in a snus, pop in a pris
I´ve been using snus since i was 12 yo= I´ve snusat since i was 12 yo
Snus user=snusare
One can of snus, Ten cans of snus
,

I see mr. Blot, and what would be the correct of the following?

Hur många olika snus köpte du?
or
Hur många olika snusar köpte du?

If snusar is plural form of snus then this sounds wrong to me, as in:

Jag köpte tre olika snus ( correct in my opinion )

Jag köpte tre olika snusar ( sounds very wrong )

Take that vikinggod 8)

Now that blotgode has weighed in, I'm going with snusar (for those times when snus doesn't work by itself as a plural). I see snusa already has a happy home as a word.

Indeed snusar has a home ( Jag snusar=I´m snusing or using snus )
but so does snusa, which means to use snus as in ( vill du snusa = do you want to snus/use snus.

I´m so full of it, I know
