O and I? In swedish we only have en and ett and norwegian has a third one but what the hell are o and i? Im not very good with swedish yet(im an immigrant) but could you explain what o and i do? I dont think swedish has this tho.

They are dialects, mostly. In parts of western norway, -o is used for singular feminine words, for example: "stuo" (instead of "stua" ("the living room")). Similarly, -i is used in parts of central Norway, for example: "boki" (instead of "boka" ("the book")). I'm not sure if these are accepted in "correct" written form of nynorsk, but it is commonly used in spoken and written dialects.

Swedish cottage: Stuga, Stugan, Stugor, Stugorna, Stugans, Stugornas

Huh, I was not aware that "stuga" is swedish for "cottage". In norwegian, cottage would be: Hytte, hytta/hytto/hytti, hytter, hyttene. I could include genitive as well, but it's just adding an -s to each form.

In Swedish, (apparently) Hytta is a house with a Furnace, like a forge.
