English to Norwegian translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Insurance
English term or phrase: stint
Forsikringslingo.

Eulogy over some financial guru: Earlier,
XXXX did stints at Nordea Life and Pension, the Danish Insurance Academy, Unibank, and Danica.

Har dette noe med innskrenkninger å gjøre.

agree  Per Bergvall: Av en eller annen grunn har stint også kommet inn i motorsporten, som i en racerbilførers arbeidsperiode bak rattet, gjerne i utholdelsesløp som 24h du Mans. Krampaktig kule norske kommentatorer kaller dette stint, heller enn det helt analoge økt.

arbeidsøkt


Explanation:
Skulle man prøve seg på en oversettelse av ordet stint, måtte det bli noe slikt som det urnorske uttrykket økt, eventuelt spesifisert som arbeidsøkt. Det har definitivt ingen ting med innskrenkninger å gjøre, selv om verbet stint kan bety 'keep on a limited allowance'. Et stint er bare et stykke arbeid, avgrenset i omfang og varighet.

agree  Vedis Bjørndal: Orboken min har "(arbeids) kvote" for "stint". Eksempelsetning "I've done my stint for today"="Jeg har gjort mitt for i dag". Synes din løsning er fin
