- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 47! Lucas, can I tell you something? Lucas: Of course. What's up? Luna: I've been thinking about jobs. Like, how do I say what I do in Norwegian? Lucas: That's a great topic. Let's learn some common job titles today. Luna: Yes! Let's start with something easy. I work with computers. How do I say 'engineer'? Lucas: The word for engineer is 'ingeniør'. Let's hear it: 'ingeniør'. Luna: Ingeniør. That's a bit tricky. Ingeniør. Lucas: Close! The 'g' is soft, like in 'gi'. Try again: 'ingeniør'. Luna: Ingeniør. How's that? Lucas: Perfect! And if you want to say 'I am an engineer', it's 'Jeg er ingeniør'. Luna: Jeg er ingeniør. That's me! Now, what about a doctor? I know 'lege' from before? Lucas: Exactly! 'Lege' means doctor. So 'Jeg er lege' is 'I am a doctor'. Luna: Jeg er lege. Easy. And teacher? That's 'lærer', right? Lucas: Right! 'Lærer' is teacher. 'Jeg er lærer'. Luna: Jeg er lærer. Okay, I'm getting the pattern. But what if I want to ask someone what they do? Lucas: Great question. You can ask 'Hva jobber du som?' which means 'What do you work as?' Luna: Hva jobber du som? Let me try that: Hva jobber du som? Lucas: Perfect! And the answer could be 'Jeg er lege' or 'Jeg er lærer'. Luna: What about nurse? I think that's 'sykepleier'? Lucas: Yes! 'Sykepleier' is nurse. 'Jeg er sykepleier'. Luna: Jeg er sykepleier. That's a long word! Sykepleier. Lucas: You got it. Let's do a quick practice. I'll ask you 'Hva jobber du som?' and you answer with one of the jobs. Luna: Okay, hit me. Lucas: Hva jobber du som? Luna: Jeg er ingeniør. Lucas: Awesome! Now you ask me. Luna: Hva jobber du som? Lucas: Jeg er lærer. See? Easy. Luna: Okay, let me try all of them in a row. Jeg er lege. Jeg er lærer. Jeg er ingeniør. Jeg er sykepleier. Lucas: Perfect! Remember, you can also just say the job without 'Jeg er' if someone asks directly. Like if they say 'Lege?' you can say 'Ja, jeg er lege.' Luna: Good tip. So today we learned: lege, lærer, ingeniør, sykepleier. And the question 'Hva jobber du som?' Lucas: Exactly. Let's do a little scene. Imagine you meet someone at a party. Luna: Okay, I'll be me, and you be the other person. Lucas: Hei! Hva jobber du som? Luna: Jeg er ingeniør. Og du? Lucas: Jeg er lærer. Hyggelig! Luna: Hyggelig! That was fun. I can totally use this. Lucas: And that's all for today's episode. Remember to practice these phrases. Thanks for learning with Fexingo. Luna: See you next time! Ha det bra!
