- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is episode two hundred sixty-five. Lucas: Yes. We are still here. And you are still learning. Luna: I feel like we have talked about everything. Rain. Wind. Sun. Lucas: We have. But today we look at what happens when the sun goes away. Luna: Oh. The grey days? The confusing days? Lucas: Exactly. When it is not raining, but you cannot see far. This is fog. Luna: Fog. In Norwegian, that is tåke. Lucas: Correct. Tåke. Now, how do we say it is foggy? Luna: Is it like the other weather phrases? Det er... tåke? Lucas: Yes. Let us try it together. Det er tåke. Luna: Det er tåke. Lucas: Good. Again. Det er tåke. Luna: Det er tåke. Lucas: Perfect. That means it is foggy outside. Very useful in autumn. Luna: It is very atmospheric. Or very annoying if I am late for work. Lucas: Both are true. Now, let us add clouds. Not just fog. Luna: Clouds. Skyer. Lucas: Yes. When the sky is full of them, we say det er overskyet. Luna: Overskyet. Over... skyet. Lucas: Exactly. Over and sky. It covers the sky. Det er overskyet. Luna: Det er overskyet. Lucas: Again. Det er overskyet. Luna: Det er overskyet. Lucas: Great. So now you can describe a dark morning. Det er tåke. Det er overskyet. Luna: I can tell my boss why I am slow. Lucas: Maybe. But usually, this weather changes. The fog lifts. Luna: How do we say the fog is going away? Lucas: The verb is letter. To lift or lighten. Tåka letter. Luna: Tåka letter. Like the fog gets lighter? Lucas: Yes. Tåka letter. Luna: Tåka letter. Lucas: Again. Tåka letter. Luna: Tåka letter. Lucas: Very good. And for clouds, we use the same word. Skyene lettner. Luna: Skyene lettner. The clouds lighten. Lucas: Yes. Skyene lettner. Luna: Skyene lettner. Lucas: Again. Skyene lettner. Luna: Skyene lettner. Lucas: Now we have four phrases. Let us put them in a scene. Luna: Okay. I wake up. I look out the window. Lucas: What do you see? Luna: I see white everywhere. I say, 'Det er tåke.' Lucas: Good start. Then you look higher. What else? Luna: The sky is grey. I say, 'Det er også overskyet.' Lucas: Correct. An hour later, things change. Luna: The sun comes out a little. I say, 'Tåka letter.' Lucas: And finally, the blue returns. Luna: Yes. I say, 'Skyene lettner.' Lucas: That was a perfect morning. You used all four phrases naturally. Luna: It felt easy because they follow the same pattern. Lucas: They do. It is always det er plus the state. And then the thing letters. Luna: So det er tåke. Tåka letter. Lucas: Exactly. Det er overskyet. Skyene lettner. Luna: I will remember that structure. It is very logical. Lucas: Norwegian weather words are often quite logical. Luna: Unlike the pronunciation sometimes. Lucas: Oh yes. But these four are clear. Let us repeat them one more time. Luna: Ready. Lucas: Det er tåke. Luna: Det er tåke. Lucas: Det er overskyet. Luna: Det er overskyet. Lucas: Tåka letter. Luna: Tåka letter. Lucas: Skyene lettner. Luna: Skyene lettner.
