- Lucas: Hi there. Welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It feels good to be here again. Lucas: It does. We are picking up right where we left off. Today we look at how Norwegians describe light and dark. Luna: Right. Because in Norway, the light changes so much. It is very important. Lucas: Exactly. And it affects how you feel. So let us learn six small phrases. Luna: I am ready. Let us start with the first one. Lucas: Okay. The first phrase is about being outside. Det er lyst ute. Luna: Det er lyst ute. Lucas: Good. That means 'it is bright outside' or 'it is light out'. Luna: Det er lyst ute. I say it again. Det er lyst ute. Lucas: Perfect. You sound like a local. Now the opposite. Luna: The opposite? Lucas: Yes. When the sun goes down. Det er mørkt ute. Luna: Det er mørkt ute. Lucas: That means 'it is dark outside'. Try it with me. Det er mørkt ute. Luna: Det er mørkt ute. Okay, I got that. Lucas: You did. Now let us talk about feeling good. A common saying is 'lyst og godt'. Luna: Lyst og godt? Lucas: Yes. It literally means 'bright and good'. But it describes a cozy, happy mood. Luna: I love that. It sounds warm. Lyst og godt. Lucas: Repeat it. Lyst og godt. Luna: Lyst og godt. It feels nice to say. Lucas: It is. Now the other side. When it is quiet and dark. 'Mørkt og stille'. Luna: Mørkt og stille. Lucas: That means 'dark and quiet'. It is peaceful. Say it slowly. Mørkt og stille. Luna: Mørkt og stille. Yes, that is calm. Lucas: Exactly. Now for inside. If you walk into a room. 'Lys i rommet'. Luna: Lys i rommet. Lucas: That means 'light in the room'. Simple. Lys i rommet. Luna: Lys i rommet. Got it. Lucas: And the last one. This is poetic. 'Mørke i hjertet'. Luna: Mørke i hjertet. Lucas: That means 'darkness in the heart'. Or sadness. It is deep. Mørke i hjertet. Luna: Mørke i hjertet. Wow. That is heavy but beautiful. Lucas: It is. Now let us put them together. Remember our list? Luna: Let us go. Det er lyst ute. Lucas: Det er mørkt ute. Luna: Lyst og godt. Lucas: Mørkt og stille. Luna: Lys i rommet. Lucas: Mørke i hjertet. Luna: That was fast. But clear. Lucas: We repeat them now. Listen closely. Luna: Det er lyst ute. Lucas: Det er mørkt ute. Luna: Lyst og godt. Lucas: Mørkt og stille. Luna: Lys i rommet. Lucas: Mørke i hjertet. Luna: One more time for practice. Lucas: Det er lyst ute. Luna: Det er mørkt ute. Lucas: Lyst og godt. Luna: Mørkt og stille. Lucas: Lys i rommet. Luna: Mørke i hjertet. Lucas: Great job. These words help you describe the world around you. Luna: Yes. Especially in winter when it gets dark early. Lucas: True. So you can say 'lyst og godt' to stay positive. Luna: Or 'mørkt og stille' when you want peace. Lucas: Exactly. Use them often. They are simple but powerful. Luna: I will use them today. Thanks, Lucas. Lucas: You are welcome. Keep practicing. See you next time.
