- Lucas: Velkommen til episode 92 of Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. Luna: Hei Lucas! I'm excited for today's topic. What are we learning? Lucas: Today we're going to the post office. We'll learn how to send a letter, buy stamps, and talk about packages in Norwegian. Luna: Ooh, useful. I actually need to send a postcard to my friend in Spain. So let's get started! Lucas: Perfect. First phrase: Jeg må sende et brev. That means 'I need to send a letter.' Say it with me: Jeg må sende et brev. Luna: Jeg må sende et brev. Jeg må sende et brev. Got it. Lucas: Great. Now if you want to buy a stamp you say: Jeg vil kjøpe et frimerke. 'I want to buy a stamp.' Try it. Luna: Jeg vil kjøpe et frimerke. That's a mouthful. Jeg vil kjøpe et frimerke. Lucas: Almost perfect. The 'r' in 'frimerke' is a bit rolled. But you're doing great. Now, if you're sending a package, you'll ask: Hvor mye koster det å sende en pakke? 'How much does it cost to send a package?' Luna: Hvor mye koster det å sende en pakke? That's a long one. Hvor mye koster det å sende en pakke? Lucas: You nailed it. And if you're sending it abroad, you add: Til utlandet. 'To abroad.' So: Hvor mye koster det å sende en pakke til utlandet? Luna: Ah, so 'til utlandet' means 'abroad'. Hvor mye koster det å sende en pakke til utlandet? Great. Lucas: Exactly. And one more phrase: Kan jeg sende dette med flypost? 'Can I send this by airmail?' Luna: Kan jeg sende dette med flypost? Flypost, that's airmail, right? Lucas: Yes. So let's put it all together. Imagine you're at the counter. You say: Jeg må sende et brev. Then the clerk asks where. You say: Til utlandet. Then you ask: Hvor mye koster det? And finally: Kan jeg sende dette med flypost? Luna: Okay, let me try a mini scene. Jeg må sende et brev til utlandet. Hvor mye koster det? Kan jeg sende dette med flypost? Lucas: Perfect! That's exactly how you'd handle it. Now, a quick note: Fexingo helps you learn languages through realistic conversations like this.
