Transcript
- Lucas: Luna, ready for another episode of Learn Norwegian with Fexingo? Luna: Absolutely! I've been practicing the job words from last time. Jeg er lærer. Lucas: That's great. Today, let's go outdoors. I want to teach you some nature words. Imagine you're hiking in Norway. Luna: Ooh, I love hiking. Okay, hit me with the first word. Lucas: First word: elv. That means 'river'. Luna: Elv. Lucas: Perfect. Elv. A river. Let's use it in a sentence: Jeg ser en elv. Luna: Jeg ser en elv. Lucas: You see a river. Exactly. Jeg ser en elv. Luna: Jeg ser en elv. I see a river. Got it. Lucas: Now, next word: innsjø. Lake. Luna: Innsjø. That's a bit longer. Lucas: Innsjø. Let's break it: inn-sjø. Say it with me: innsjø. Luna: Innsjø. Lucas: Good. Innsjø is a lake. For example: Dette er en vakker innsjø. Luna: Dette er en vakker innsjø. This is a beautiful lake. Lucas: Yes. Or: Jeg svømmer i innsjøen. Luna: Jeg svømmer i innsjøen. I swim in the lake. But I don't swim in cold lakes! Lucas: Maybe in the summer. Okay, next word: fjell. Mountain. Luna: Fjell. That sounds like 'fell' in English. Lucas: Close. Fjell. Try again. Luna: Fjell. Lucas: There you go. Fjell. A mountain. For instance: Vi klatrer opp fjellet. Luna: Vi klatrer opp fjellet. We climb up the mountain. Lucas: Exactly. Or: Fjellet er høyt. Luna: Fjellet er høyt. The mountain is tall. I can picture that. Lucas: Last word: skog. Forest. Luna: Skog. That's short and sweet. Lucas: Skog. A forest. Like: Vi går gjennom skogen. Luna: Vi går gjennom skogen. We walk through the forest. Lucas: Yes. Or: Skogen er tett. Luna: Skogen er tett. The forest is dense. I love forests. Lucas: Let's put all four words together in a little story. Listen: I dag går jeg en tur. Jeg ser en elv, en innsjø, et fjell og en skog. Luna: Let me try: I dag går jeg en tur. Jeg ser en elv, en innsjø, et fjell og en skog. Lucas: Wow, that was excellent, Luna! You said: Today I go for a walk. I see a river, a lake, a mountain, and a forest. Luna: I did! That's a full sentence in Norwegian. I'm so proud. Lucas: You should be. Let's practice the words one more time. Repeat after me: elv. Luna: Elv. Lucas: Innsjø. Luna: Innsjø. Lucas: Fjell. Luna: Fjell. Lucas: Skog. Luna: Skog. Lucas: Perfect. Now, can you ask me: Hva ser du? What do you see? Luna: Hva ser du? Lucas: Jeg ser en elv, en innsjø, et fjell og en skog. Luna: Wow, that's the same sentence! So I can answer that too. Lucas: Exactly. You're ready for a hike in Norway. Just remember: if you get lost, you can say: Jeg er i skogen. Luna: Jeg er i skogen. I am in the forest. Hopefully I won't get lost though. Lucas: With these words, you can describe where you are. Alright, that's it for today's episode. Practice these nature words, and next time we'll explore something new. Luna: Thanks, Lucas! This was fun. See you next time on Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. Lucas: Ha det bra! Bye for now.
