- Lucas: Welcome back to episode two fifty-eight of Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. Luna: Hi everyone. It feels like we have been talking about light and dark lately. Lucas: We have. But this time, we are going to put them together in some very common phrases. Luna: I am ready. I feel a bit tired today, so maybe it is dark inside my heart. Lucas: That sounds deep. Let us start with the simplest one. Det er lyst ute. Luna: Det er lyst ute. Lucas: Perfect. That means it is bright outside. Or it is light outside. Luna: Det er lyst ute. I love saying that when the sun comes up. Lucas: Now let us flip it. The opposite. Det er mørkt ute. Luna: Det er mørkt ute. Lucas: Exactly. It is dark outside. Notice how lyst becomes mørkt. Luna: Det er mørkt ute. Yes, I see the pattern now. Lucas: Let us try them together. First, the positive side. Lyst og godt. Luna: Lyst og godt. Lucas: Bright and good. It is a cozy way to describe a nice day. Luna: Lyst og godt. It sounds very peaceful. Lucas: And the other side. Mørkt og stille. Luna: Mørkt og stille. Lucas: Dark and quiet. Often used when you want to relax at night. Luna: Mørkt og stille. That is exactly what I need right now. Lucas: Let us move to the inside. In a room. Lys i rommet. Luna: Lys i rommet. Lucas: Light in the room. Simple and direct. Luna: Lys i rommet. I usually turn on a lamp when I read. Lucas: Now for the emotional one. Mørke i hjertet. Luna: Mørke i hjertet. Lucas: Darkness in the heart. A poetic way to say you are sad. Luna: Mørke i hjertet. It is quite heavy, but useful to know. Lucas: Let us run through all six quickly. Start with det er lyst ute. Luna: Det er lyst ute. Lucas: Good. Now det er mørkt ute. Luna: Det er mørkt ute. Lucas: Next, lyst og godt. Luna: Lyst og godt. Lucas: Then mørkt og stille. Luna: Mørkt og stille. Lucas: Then lys i rommet. Luna: Lys i rommet. Lucas: And finally, mørke i hjertet. Luna: Mørke i hjertet. Lucas: You did great. You remembered every single phrase. Luna: I think I can use these tomorrow morning. When the sun rises. Lucas: Yes. Just look out the window and say det er lyst ute. Luna: It feels natural. Like I am describing my actual life. Lucas: That is the goal. To make Norwegian part of your daily view. Luna: What if it is cloudy though? Is it still lyst? Lucas: If there is daylight, yes. Even clouds do not make it mørkt. Luna: Okay. So only when the sun is down does it become mørkt ute. Lucas: Correct. And then you can close the curtains and enjoy mørkt og stille. Luna: I will try that tonight. After I finish my work. Lucas: A perfect plan. Work, then rest in the dark and quiet. Luna: Do you ever feel mørke i hjertet during winter? Lucas: Sometimes. But then I remember lys i rommet. Luna: Turning on a light helps? Lucas: It really does. Physics and psychology working together. Luna: I never thought about it like that. Very clever. Lucas: It is just how Norwegians cope with the long nights. Luna: So we use these phrases to stay sane? Lucas: Partly. And also just to describe the world around us accurately. Luna: Accuracy is important. Especially with feelings. Lucas: Absolutely. You cannot hide mørke i hjertet forever. Luna: True. But you can talk about it. Lucas: Or you can just say det er lyst ute and smile. Luna: I prefer smiling. It is easier than crying. Lucas: I mean, ah. Yes. Smiling is good. Luna: Ah. Right. No laughing in the script rules. Lucas: Right. Let us stick to the phrases. One more round? Luna: Sure. I am getting better at this. Lucas: Start with det er lyst ute. Luna: Det er lyst ute. Lucas: Det er mørkt ute. Luna: Det er mørkt ute. Lucas: Lyst og godt. Luna: Lyst og godt. Lucas: Mørkt og stille. Luna: Mørkt og stille. Lucas: Lys i rommet. Luna: Lys i rommet. Lucas: Mørke i hjertet. Luna: Mørke i hjertet. Lucas: Fantastic. You have mastered this set completely. Luna: I feel confident. Maybe too confident. Lucas: Confidence is key. Keep using them until they are automatic. Luna: I will practice while walking home later. Lucas: That is a great idea. Look at the sky and speak. Luna: If it rains, does that change anything? Lucas: No. Rain is still lyst unless it is night. Luna: Got it. Day is lyst. Night is mørkt. Lucas: Simple rule. Easy to remember. Luna: Thank you, Lucas. This was very clear. Lucas: You are welcome. We are glad to help.
