Sosialurin

The Sosialurin [ sosjalʊrɪn ] (literally " The Social ") is the second largest daily newspaper in the Faroe Islands, based in Tórshavn.

Sosialurin published five times a week from Tuesday to Saturday with a nationwide circulation of 8,100 copies. He reached almost half of the approximately 17,000 Faroese households.

This name was chosen in April 2005 in Norway as the funniest company in the world. There he is misunderstood as " social urine ". The emphasis of the name includes this explanation from but since the ending- urine- is unstressed, and no voting paragraph to the previous syllable is done, see German: more social. Urine is called in Faroese paraphrasing vatn ( water) or country (country ).
