- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. Hi everyone. It is so good to be back with you. Lucas: Today we are focusing on two very useful verbs. One is about showing something. The other is about finding something. Luna: I love these. They are so practical. Let us start with the first one. Lucas: The first verb is å vise. It means to show. Listen closely. Lucas: å vise. Luna: å vise. Lucas: Good. Now let us make it a sentence. Jeg viser deg. That means I show you. Lucas: Jeg viser deg. Luna: Jeg viser deg. Okay. So if I want to show my friend a photo, I say jeg viser deg? Lucas: Exactly. Or maybe you want to ask someone to show you something. You can say kan du vise meg? That means can you show me? Lucas: Kan du vise meg? Luna: Kan du vise meg? Oh, that is very polite. And very useful. Lucas: It is. Let us practice them together again. å vise. Jeg viser deg. Kan du vise meg? Luna: å vise. Jeg viser deg. Kan du vise meg? I feel like I already know this. Lucas: You do. Now let us move to our second verb. This one is about discovery. Luna: I love discovering things. What is the word? Lucas: The verb is å finne. It means to find. Listen to the rhythm. Lucas: å finne. Luna: å finne. Lucas: Now let us put it in the past tense. Jeg fant det. That means I found it. Lucas: Jeg fant det. Luna: Jeg fant det. Wow. That sounds easy. Is it always that simple? Lucas: Often yes. Here is another helpful phrase. Det er lett å finne. That means it is easy to find. Lucas: Det er lett å finne. Luna: Det er lett å finne. Oh, I see. So if I am looking for a shop, I can ask if it is easy to find? Lucas: Precisely. If you are lost, you might hope it is easy to find. Let us repeat all the phrases now. Luna: Okay. Let us go through them slowly. å vise. Jeg viser deg. Kan du vise meg? Lucas: Perfect. Now the second set. å finne. Jeg fant det. Det er lett å finne. Luna: å finne. Jeg fant det. Det er lett å finne. That feels great. Lucas: It really does. Before we continue with our story, I have a small request. Luna: Oh no. What is it? Lucas: If Fexingo has been helping you make actual progress with this language, and you want to support the show, there is a link. It is at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Luna: Yeah. If today was worth a coffee to you, that is the link. It keeps the episodes coming. Lucas: Thank you. Now let us get back to our little scene. Luna: Right. Imagine we are in Oslo. We are looking for a library. Lucas: Yes. You stop a stranger on the street. You want to know where it is. What do you say? Luna: Okay. I turn to the person and I say... kan du vise meg veien til biblioteket? Lucas: Excellent. Can you show me the way to the library? That is perfect. Luna: The person points and says it is close. Then they say... det er lett å finne. Lucas: It is easy to find. And then you look down the street and you see the sign. You smile and say... jeg fant det! Luna: I found it! Yes. That is such a happy moment. Finding something when you were lost. Lucas: It is. And then you thank the person. You say... takk for at du viste meg. Luna: Thanks for showing me. Oh, that combines both verbs. Takk for at du viste meg. Lucas: Exactly. You used the past tense of showing. Viste. It works beautifully. Luna: I never thought I would combine them like that. But it makes sense. Lucas: It does. Language is just building blocks. You have the block for showing. You have the block for finding. Luna: And you stack them up. Like LEGO. But with words. Lucas: Like LEGO. Let us review the key phrases one last time. å vise. Jeg viser deg. Kan du vise meg? Luna: å vise. Jeg viser deg. Kan du vise meg? I am ready. Lucas: Now the second part. å finne. Jeg fant det. Det er lett å finne. Luna: å finne. Jeg fant det. Det erlett å finne. Wait. Let me try that again. Lucas: Take your time. Det er lett å finne. Luna: Det er lett å finne. There. Got it. Lucas: There it is. You nailed it. These verbs will help you so much in daily life. Luna: I can already imagine using them. Showing photos to my friends. Finding my keys every morning. Lucas: Finding your keys is a universal struggle. Hopefully Norwegian helps with that. Luna: Let us hope so. I will keep saying jeg fant det until I actually find them. Lucas: That is the spirit. Keep practicing. Repeat these phrases until they feel natural. Luna: I will. Thank you, Lucas. This was so clear. Lucas: My pleasure. Remember, Fexingo is here to help you every step of the way. Luna: See you next time. Hei så lenge. Lucas: Hei så lenge. Bye for now.
