Transcript
- Lucas: Hei Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Norwegian with Fexingo? Luna: Hei Lucas! Yes, I'm ready. What are we learning today? Lucas: Today we're going to learn three very useful adjectives in Norwegian: stor, liten, and god. Luna: Adjectives! Great. I remember we learned colors before, so this is similar. Lucas: Exactly. First up: stor. It means 'big' or 'large'. Listen: stor. Luna: stor. Lucas: Perfect. Try saying it a bit longer: stoooor. Luna: stoooor. Lucas: That's it. Now, an example. Et stort hus — 'a big house'. Notice the -t ending because it's neuter gender. But for now, just remember the phrase: Et stort hus. Luna: Et stort hus. Lucas: Good. Next: liten. This means 'small' or 'little'. Listen: liten. Luna: liten. Lucas: Yes. And in context: En liten katt — 'a small cat'. Notice en for masculine, so liten stays liten. Luna: En liten katt. Lucas: Exactly. Finally: god. This means 'good'. Listen: god. Luna: god. Lucas: Great. And a phrase: God mat — 'good food'. Mat is masculine, so god stays god. Let's say it together: God mat. Luna: God mat. Lucas: Fantastic. Now let's practice a little scene. Imagine we are looking at a big house. How would you say that in Norwegian? Luna: Umm... Et stort hus? Lucas: Yes! Et stort hus. Perfect. Luna: And if I see a small cat, I say En liten katt. Lucas: Exactly. And if you eat something delicious, you can say...? Luna: God mat! Lucas: Right. Let's hear all three again: stor, liten, god. Luna: stor, liten, god. Lucas: And the phrases: Et stort hus, En liten katt, God mat. Luna: Et stort hus, En liten katt, God mat. Lucas: Excellent. Now, let's do a quick review. I'll say the English, you say the Norwegian. 'Big'. Luna: stor. Lucas: 'Small'. Luna: liten. Lucas: 'Good'. Luna: god. Lucas: Great job. And here's a bonus: you can combine these with words you already know. Remember 'coffee' from earlier? Luna: Yes, kaffe. Lucas: So, 'good coffee' would be...? Luna: God kaffe. Lucas: Exactly. And 'big house' we did. What about 'small coffee'? Luna: Liten kaffe? Lucas: Yes! En liten kaffe. Excellent. Luna: That's cool. So these adjectives are really useful. Lucas: Absolutely. And that's all for today. Remember to practice saying stor, liten, god, and the phrases Et stort hus, En liten katt, God mat. Keep listening to Fexingo, and we'll be back with more Norwegian soon.
