could somebody translate that from norwegian, can't seem to get the meaning. my
guess is that it's just like saying Ouch or something?

Yeah, that's probably right. The Norwegian equivalent for "ouch" is normally
written "au", but I guess in some parts of the country it sounds like "ævve".
But you won't find the word in any dictionary. :)

"Ævve" is "eye" in many dialects. Some sentences I found using Google (written
in dialect!):

"Ævve for ævve å tanngard for tann..."

"Frysninger gjekk nedover ryggen da je fekk ævve på en tå de rareste skapninga
je nonsti har sett."
