Transcript
- Lucas: Hei Luna! Ready for another episode of Learn Norwegian with Fexingo? Luna: Hei Lucas! Yes, I've been practicing my house words from last time. Bord, stol, dør... Lucas: Wow, you really nailed those! Today let's step out of the house and talk about getting around. Transport words. Luna: Ohh, like car, bus, train? I could use that when I travel to Norway. Lucas: Exactly. Let's start with 'bil'. That means car. Say it with me: bil. Luna: Bil. Lucas: Perfect. Now 'buss' — bus. Buss. Luna: Buss. That's just like English but with a double s. Lucas: Right! And 'tog' — train. Tog. Luna: Tog. Hmm, that one is different. Tog. Lucas: You got it. Next, 'sykkel' — bicycle. Sykkel. Luna: Sykkel. That's a fun word. Sykkel. Lucas: And finally 'fly' — airplane. Fly. Luna: Fly. Oh, that's the same as English! Easy. Lucas: Yes, many Norwegian words are similar. Let's put them in simple sentences. 'Jeg tar bussen' — I take the bus. Try that. Luna: Jeg tar bussen. Lucas: Great! 'Jeg kjører bil' — I drive a car. Kjører means drive. Say it. Luna: Jeg kjører bil. Lucas: Excellent. Now let's practice all five words again quickly. Bil. Luna: Bil. Lucas: Buss. Luna: Buss. Lucas: Tog. Luna: Tog. Lucas: Sykkel. Luna: Sykkel. Lucas: Fly. Luna: Fly. Lucas: Perfect. Now, imagine you're in Oslo and you need to go to the airport. How would you say 'I take the train'? Luna: Uhh... Jeg tar toget. Oh, toget with an -et ending? Lucas: Yes! Great catch. But for now, just 'Jeg tar toget' works. Actually, Luke, we can stick with 'Jeg tar toget' as a phrase. Luna: So 'Jeg tar toget' means I take the train. Got it. Lucas: And if you're biking, you'd say 'Jeg sykler' or 'Jeg tar sykkelen'. But let's keep it simple today. Let's do a mini dialogue. You ask me: 'Hvordan kommer du til jobb?' How do you get to work? Luna: Hvordan kommer du til jobb? Lucas: I'll answer: 'Jeg tar bussen.' Now you answer the same question. Luna: Jeg tar bussen... or maybe Jeg kjører bil? Lucas: Either works! Let's say you drive. So 'Jeg kjører bil.' Luna: Jeg kjører bil. Lucas: Fantastic. Let's wrap up with a quick review. I'll say the English, you say the Norwegian. Car. Luna: Bil. Lucas: Bus. Luna: Buss. Lucas: Train. Luna: Tog. Lucas: Bicycle. Luna: Sykkel. Lucas: Airplane. Luna: Fly. Lucas: And the useful phrase: I take the bus. Luna: Jeg tar bussen. Lucas: You did it. That's all for Episode 30 of Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. Thanks for listening! Luna: Takk for nå, Lucas! See you next time. Lucas: Ha det bra! Practice these transport words, and next time we'll build on them.
