  1. What's the difference between "å dukke opp", "å havne opp", and "å ende opp"?
  2. How is "en baby" pronounced in Urban East Norwegian? I'm getting conflicting answers.

1 - Dukke opp = show up.

Havne opp = end up. I feel like it's more common to say "havne i" instead of "havne opp i", although I could be wrong.

Ende opp = also end up.

2 - "Bebi" is most common, sometimes you'll also hear "beibi".

Can you also just use "havne"? I saw in a book "Hvorfor hadde jeg havnet her, på denne dumme lastebilen?"

To be honest I don't think I have heard "havne opp" before. "Å havne" is the correct one

There are some results for it on Google but they're most likely just people mixing it up with ende opp. Although some of them are on sites like VG, dinside, NRK, etc., so I dunno.

"havne opp" is pretty common (and valid). I don't think there is much change in meaning from just "havnet", possibly a stronger sense that it happened by accident/ out of the subjects control.
