Norwegian translation needed!

[SleekSailor]

If you can read norwegian or know of someone who does, please add or correct the intrepretation below so that i may understand my friends letter. I've been online- the son's of norway language course has been somewhat helpful, & I have here at home 2 dictionaries.....however I'm still at a lost. This web site offers common verbs too: http://www.carla.umn.edu/lctl/materials ... verbs.html

har dessver ikke fått svart deg før nå : - )

"svart"- doesn't this word mean black? I understand the sentence to read "Unfortunately I have not gotton back to you before now"correct or incorrect?? The "svart" entirely throws me off.

Jeg diver med på fritiden er , treffe sossiale venner ta en kaffe eller ett glass vin , sport så driver jeg med kammsport , ishocey (bedrift) har eller ikke så mye tid til mer .
privat så driver jeg ett egget firma som er med Nattklubb & Bar på hverdagene så driver jeg ett annet firma ( vedlikehold ) eller så pleier jeg å være på hytta mi ved søen tar gjerne båten ut for å fiske litt ( å kjene stilhetten )

words I cannot find a translation for: diver (dive- as in scuba?), kammsport, bedrift, egget (egg?), hverdagene, annet,vedlikehold, pleier(nurse?), søen, kjene(know?), stilhetten

This is what i think this letter reads as: I (run/dive) with my leisure time and socially meet friends for a coffee or a glass of wine......favorite sport is hockey.....doesn't have time for more.....He run/operates a private nightclub & bar......that he likes to go his cabin to do a littke fishing.

From my bad swedish I'd guesttimate:

svert is the past tense of svar.

Norwegians "drive" when they do something. Egget is min egen - I own, my own firma ... hverdagen is either bank days or holidays and i can't be arsed to look up your homework. ved like hold like other held, pleg

å kjene stillhetten - to know the stillness

Correct

Jeg diver med på fritiden er , treffe sossiale venner ta en kaffe eller ett glass vin , sport så driver jeg med kammsport , ishocey (bedrift) har eller ikke så mye tid til mer .
privat så driver jeg ett egget firma som er med Nattklubb & Bar på hverdagene så driver jeg ett annet firma ( vedlikehold ) eller så pleier jeg å være på hytta mi ved søen tar gjerne båten ut for å fiske litt ( å kjene stilhetten )

Diver is a typo. He means driver = I like.
Kammsport = All kind of martial arts (judo, Karate etc), none specific.
Bedrift= I belive he means that he is a begginer.
Egget firma= Own Company
Hverdagene= Working days
Annet= Another
Or I like to be at my cottage, by the lake, where I like to take the boat out for fishing a bit (and feel the silence).

"har dessver ikke fått svart deg før nå : - ) "

"Unfortunately I haven't had time to reply before now. "

Drive(r) in this sense usually means "do for a living"

i.e. Hva driver du med? = What do you do for a living?

Jeg er sekretær = I am a secretary

Svart = past tense of 'svarer' = to answer as in "Spørsmål og svar" = Question and Answer
