- Lucas: Luna, ready for another verb episode? This one is fun — and a little physical. Luna: Oh, I love physical. What are we doing? Lucas: Today's verb is 'å kaste' — to throw. Luna: Å kaste. Like throwing a ball? Lucas: Exactly. Listen: å kaste. Luna: Å kaste. Lucas: Good. Now in present tense: jeg kaster — I throw. Luna: Jeg kaster. Lucas: Kaster du — do you throw? Luna: Kaster du? Lucas: Let's try a full sentence. 'Jeg kaster ballen.' — I throw the ball. Luna: Jeg kaster ballen. That's nice. Lucas: Your turn. Say 'I throw the ball.' Luna: Jeg kaster ballen. Lucas: Perfect. Now, 'kaste søppelet' — to throw away the trash. Luna: Kaste søppelet. That's useful. I need to do that every day. Lucas: Exactly. Let's make a sentence: 'Jeg kaster søppelet.' — I throw away the trash. Luna: Jeg kaster søppelet. Lucas: Great. Now, an important one: 'ikke kast' — don't throw. Luna: Ikke kast. Like 'ikke kast ballen inne' — don't throw the ball inside. Lucas: Exactly. You're catching on fast. Luna: So 'ikke kast ballen inne' means 'don't throw the ball inside'. Lucas: Yes. And 'ikke kast søppelet på gulvet' — don't throw the trash on the floor. Luna: Ikke kast søppelet på gulvet. That's good to know. Lucas: Let's do a quick practice. I'll say a phrase in English, you try it in Norwegian. Luna: Okay. Lucas: I throw the ball. Luna: Jeg kaster ballen. Lucas: Do you throw the trash? Luna: Kaster du søppelet? Lucas: Don't throw the ball. Luna: Ikke kast ballen. Lucas: Amazing. You're a natural. Luna: Thanks. You know, learning these verbs is really helping me. I feel like I can say so much more now. Lucas: That's the goal. And if Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with Norwegian, a handful of listeners chip in monthly through buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo, and that's literally what funds making this many episodes. Luna: Yeah, it's a small group, but it keeps the show ad-free and going. We appreciate every bit. Lucas: So back to throwing. Let's think of a little dialog. I'm outside with a friend, and I say: 'Kaster du ballen til meg?' — Do you throw the ball to me? Luna: Kaster du ballen til meg? Lucas: Then the friend could say: 'Ja, jeg kaster.' — Yes, I throw. Luna: Ja, jeg kaster. Lucas: Or if you want to say 'I throw it to you': 'Jeg kaster den til deg.' Luna: Jeg kaster den til deg. Lucas: Perfect. Now, 'kaste' is also used for throwing away things, like we said. So 'kaste et brev' — to throw away a letter. Not in the trash necessarily, but to discard. Luna: Kaste et brev. Got it. Lucas: Let's do a quick review of all phrases. Listen and repeat after me: 'å kaste'. Luna: Å kaste. Lucas: 'Jeg kaster'. Luna: Jeg kaster. Lucas: 'Kaster du'. Luna: Kaster du. Lucas: 'Kaste ballen'. Luna: Kaste ballen. Lucas: 'Kaste søppelet'. Luna: Kaste søppelet. Lucas: 'Ikke kast'. Luna: Ikke kast. Lucas: Excellent. You've got it. Luna: I'm going to practice by throwing something in Norwegian. Maybe I'll start with 'jeg kaster pennen' — I throw the pen. Lucas: Just don't throw it at me. Luna: I won't. Ikke kast pennen på Lucas. Lucas: Good one. Well, that's all for today. Keep practicing 'å kaste', and we'll see you next time. Luna: Ha det bra! Remember, practice makes progress.
