I am Norwegian, and I will teach you. It's very nice to meet you! My colleague Ema and I are going to teach you nice and proper Norwegian language! So, we greet you in Norwegian with a cheerful mood:. What does NA god dag mean? It's not difficult to guess — it means — good day. Be sure that soon, and speaking more strictly, by the very end of this lesson, you'll be able not only to say hello, but also to speak Norwegian a bit!
Oh yes! Learning the Norwegian language together with norwegianABC. Or maybe you just will be lying comfortably on the couch at home — learning will definitely be simple and enjoyable with norwegianABC. In the norwegianABC. So let's begin the lesson. First I will tell you some of the most important facts about a country famous for its countryside — Norway, and about the Norwegian language, of course.
So, Norway in Norwegian will be Norge. Let's repeat this word together: Norge. Norge is a North European country, located in the western part of the Scandinavian peninsula. The population here is 4. Etymologists are constantly in debates about where the title Norge comes from.
The Norwegian language, that is norsk, let's repeat together: norsk, norsk, is put into the Western Scandinavian language group, which is a branch of the Northern Germanic language family. Sounds complicated? There are two official written forms in the Norwegian language. It's wonderful, that after learning one of those variations we can understand the other in a quite simple way.
Still, there are some differences. Dictionaries, vocabularies and other teaching materials are prepared with it. Well, another interesting fact about the Norwegian language: Norwegians talk in many dialects and are very proud of it!
I'm becoming so impatient and I believe that you are also. So let's begin learning Norwegian! Today we're going to have a look at the main meeting and greeting phrases. When we learn new words or phrases, Ema and I will always pronounce them a few times, and you repeat them a few or more times. Before the very beginning, I'll reveal a secret to you: in the Norwegian language, the melody of a sentence or a phrase is relevant, so the language should sound properly to us, foreigners.
And it is very important where the melody is stressed, in other words, where our voice is rising and falling when we pronounce a particular phrase or sentence. You ask, what it is like? Well, now let's learn some more official greetings, which you'll be able to use in greeting not only your friends, but also at work, on the street, or in a shop. When repeating words after Ema and me, try to repeat the sentence melody also.
And if we don't know a person we meet, we ask this: NA hva heter du? Relax, take a rest, and let's try it one more time slowly: What's your name? R should be pronounced very softly. Let's repeat this phrase together:. When someone asks what my name is, I should answer this way: Jeg heter Jan. Jeg — heter — Jan. Do you remember that we should pronounce R softly?
Let's try: NA Jeg heter Jan. Well, how is it going for you? You need to give your tongue a break for a bit, right? Just release your tongue more when speaking Norwegian, and everything will go swimmingly. Great, let's go further. We have already learned to greet, to introduce ourselves and to ask for a name.
Now we're going to ask how our companion is doing. Norwegians are polite people and don't usually limit themselves with greetings. They usually ask, how you are doing, even when passing on a street. We can do it in a few ways. Remember, that R should be pronounced softly, then the phrase itself will be pronounced more easily, won't it? Let's try it together with Ema:. Listen, to which point of a sentence the melody is falling and rising: NA Hvordan har du det?
You're doing great! And here we have another way to greet. And how we can answer, when someone asks how we are doing? Well, here we'll have to pick up some Norwegian optimism, whether we want it or not, and say that we are doing really well!
Answer this way: takk, bare bra — thank you, everything is OK. It would sound like this word-by-word: Takk — thank you. I have no doubt, that you'll learn it quickly and remember it well. Bare — only. Bra — well. Takk, bare bra. Pronounce it softly, don't be tense. Listen and repeat together: NA ikke sa verst. When asking, how our companion is doing, we'll say: And how are you doing? In Norwegian it will sound ,,Og hvordan har du det? Repeat it with Jan:.
If you feel that the pronunciation doesn't come to you right away, don't become upset. Repeat it many times together with us. I have no doubt that you are really going to make it!
