- Lucas: Velkommen til Learn Norwegian with Fexingo! Ep 37. Luna, ready for today? Luna: Always! Last time I learned school words, but today—shopping? That's my favorite topic. Lucas: Perfect. So imagine you're in a Norwegian store. You see something you like, but you need to know the price. What do you say? Luna: Uhh... 'Hvor mye koster dette?' I remember that from before! But can we practice it again? Lucas: Absolutely. Repeat after me: Hvor mye koster dette? Luna: Hvor mye koster dette? Lucas: Great! 'Hvor mye' means 'how much', 'koster' is 'costs', 'dette' is 'this'. So: How much does this cost? Luna: Hvor mye koster dette? I can use that for any item! Lucas: Exactly. Now, let's say you want to buy it. How do you say 'I would like to buy...'? Luna: Hmm... 'Jeg vil gjerne kjøpe'? Lucas: Yes! 'Jeg vil gjerne kjøpe...' followed by the item. For example, 'Jeg vil gjerne kjøpe denne boken.' This book. Luna: Jeg vil gjerne kjøpe denne boken. So 'denne' for 'this' when it's masculine/feminine? Lucas: Right. 'Dette' is neutral. But don't worry about that now. Just remember the phrase. Let's try: Jeg vil gjerne kjøpe en kaffe. Luna: Jeg vil gjerne kjøpe en kaffe. I'd love a coffee! Lucas: Now, sometimes you want to ask about colors. Like 'Do you have this in another color?' In Norwegian: Har du denne i en annen farge? Luna: Har du denne i en annen farge? That's a mouthful! Lucas: Let's break it. 'Har du' – do you have, 'denne' – this, 'i' – in, 'en annen farge' – another color. So: Har du denne i en annen farge? Luna: Har du denne i en annen farge? Got it. Maybe I want a blue jacket instead of red. Lucas: Perfect. Then if you decide to buy it, you say 'Jeg tar den.' I'll take it. Luna: Jeg tar den. Simple! Lucas: And finally, when you pay, ask for a receipt: Kan jeg få en kvittering? Luna: Kan jeg få en kvittering? Receipt is 'kvittering'? Lucas: Yes. Let's practice all five phrases. First: Hvor mye koster dette? Luna: Hvor mye koster dette? Lucas: Jeg vil gjerne kjøpe... Luna: Jeg vil gjerne kjøpe... Lucas: Har du denne i en annen farge? Luna: Har du denne i en annen farge? Lucas: Jeg tar den. Luna: Jeg tar den. Lucas: Kan jeg få en kvittering? Luna: Kan jeg få en kvittering? Awesome! Lucas: Now imagine this: you're at a market in Oslo. You see a nice wool sweater. What do you say first? Luna: Hvor mye koster denne genseren? Lucas: Perfect! 'Genser' is sweater. The seller says 500 kroner. You want it, but in blue. What do you ask? Luna: Har du denne i en annen farge? Blå, for eksempel. Lucas: They have blue. You're happy. So you say? Luna: Jeg tar den! Lucas: And after paying, you ask for the receipt. Luna: Kan jeg få en kvittering? Lucas: Nailed it. Luna, you just handled a whole shopping trip in Norwegian. Luna: That feels great! These phrases are so useful. I'll definitely use them next time I'm at a store. Lucas: Remember: with Fexingo, you can practice these anytime. Listen again, repeat, and soon they'll be automatic. Luna: Takk for i dag, Lucas! See you next time. Lucas: Ha en fin dag! Keep practicing, and join us for Episode 38.
