- Lucas: Hei, og velkommen til episode 17 of Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. Luna: Hei hei! I'm so ready for today. Lucas: Great to have you, Luna. And hello to all our listeners out there. Luna: So what are we learning today? Lucas: Today we're talking about the days of the week. Very useful for making plans. Luna: Oh, awesome. I've been wanting to know how to say 'Saturday' in Norwegian. Lucas: Well, you'll know by the end of this episode. Let's start with the first day of the week. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: In Norway, the week starts on Monday. So Monday is 'mandag'. Luna: Mandag. Lucas: Exactly. Mandag. Let's say it together: mandag. Luna: Mandag. Lucas: Good. Now, Tuesday is 'tirsdag'. Luna: Tirsdag. Lucas: Yes. Tirsdag. Wednesday is 'onsdag'. Luna: Onsdag. That one sounds a bit like 'ons'. Lucas: Exactly. Onsdag. Thursday is 'torsdag'. Luna: Torsdag. Like 'tor'. Lucas: Perfect. Friday is 'fredag'. Luna: Fredag. I love that – it sounds like 'free day'. Lucas: Right, it does. And Saturday is 'lørdag'. Luna: Lørdag. That's a fun one. Lucas: And finally, Sunday is 'søndag'. Luna: Søndag. Okay, so let me try all of them: mandag, tirsdag, onsdag, torsdag, fredag, lørdag, søndag. Lucas: Wow, that was great! You really nailed it. Luna: Thanks! But how do I use them in a sentence? Lucas: Good question. A simple phrase is 'I dag er det...' which means 'Today is...'. Luna: I dag er det. So 'I dag er det mandag' means 'Today is Monday'? Lucas: Exactly. Let's practice that together. Say: I dag er det mandag. Luna: I dag er det mandag. Lucas: Perfect. Now you try with Tuesday: I dag er det tirsdag. Luna: I dag er det tirsdag. Lucas: Wonderful. So if today is Wednesday, you'd say...? Luna: I dag er det onsdag. Lucas: Yes! You're getting it. Let's do a quick round. I'll say a day, and you say the full sentence. Luna: Okay, hit me. Lucas: Thursday. Luna: I dag er det torsdag. Lucas: Friday. Luna: I dag er det fredag. Lucas: Saturday. Luna: I dag er det lørdag. Lucas: Sunday. Luna: I dag er det søndag. Lucas: Fantastic! Now, what day is it today? Luna: Uhh, let me think. I think it's Wednesday? Lucas: Well, in our little world here, let's pretend it's Friday. So I dag er det fredag. Luna: I dag er det fredag. Perfect. Lucas: Before we go, let's do a quick recap. Repeat after me: mandag. Luna: Mandag. Lucas: Tirsdag. Luna: Tirsdag. Lucas: Onsdag. Luna: Onsdag. Lucas: Torsdag. Luna: Torsdag. Lucas: Fredag. Luna: Fredag. Lucas: Lørdag. Luna: Lørdag. Lucas: Søndag. Luna: Søndag. Lucas: And one full sentence: I dag er det mandag. Luna: I dag er det mandag. Lucas: Perfect. Great job today, Luna. Luna: Tusen takk! I feel like I can talk about my week now. Lucas: Exactly. And you can practice by saying what day it is each morning. Luna: That's a good tip. Thanks, Lucas. Lucas: Thank you for joining us on this episode of Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. Keep practicing, and we'll be back with more soon. Luna: Vi snakkes! Bye bye! Lucas: Ha det bra!
