- Lucas: Hei, and welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo! I'm Lucas, and I'm here with my friend Luna. Luna: Hey everyone! Luna here. Ready for another tiny step in Norwegian. Lucas: So last time we learned the numbers one to five. Remember those, Luna? Luna: Oh, yeah! En, to, tre, fire, fem. I still say them in my head when I count steps. Lucas: That's great. Today we're going to add the next five numbers: six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. Luna: Ooh, perfect. Let's start. Lucas: Alright, the first one is 'seks'. That means six. Luna: Seks. Like the English word 'sex' but with an 's' at the end. Lucas: Exactly. Seks. Can you say it? Luna: Seks. Lucas: Perfect. Now, seven is 'sju'. Sju. Luna: Sju. That one sounds like 'shoe' without the 'e'. Lucas: Right. Sju. Good. Luna: Sju. Lucas: Now eight is 'åtte'. Åtte. Luna: Åtte. That's like 'ot-teh' with a long 'o'. Lucas: Yes. And nine is 'ni'. Ni. Luna: Ni. Like 'knee' but with an 'n'. Lucas: Exactly. And last, ten is 'ti'. Ti. Luna: Ti. That's like 'tea'. Lucas: Perfect. Let's run through them all: seks, sju, åtte, ni, ti. Luna: Seks, sju, åtte, ni, ti. I think I got it. Lucas: You do. Now let's try counting from one to ten all together. Luna: Okay. En, to, tre, fire, fem, seks, sju, åtte, ni, ti. Lucas: Perfect! That's it. Now let's use them in a little scene. Imagine you're at a market and you want to buy six apples. Luna: How do I say 'six apples'? Lucas: In Norwegian, it's 'seks epler'. Epler means apples. Luna: Seks epler. Lucas: Right. And if you want seven oranges, it's 'sju appelsiner'. Luna: Sju appelsiner. That's a tongue twister. Lucas: Almost. Try again: sju appelsiner. Luna: Sju appelsiner. Got it. Lucas: Now, eight bananas: 'åtte bananer'. Luna: Åtte bananer. That's easy. Lucas: Nine kiwis: 'ni kiwi'. Luna: Ni kiwi. Wait, no 's' for plural? Lucas: Good question. Kiwi stays the same. So ni kiwi. Luna: Okay. Ni kiwi. Lucas: And ten grapes: 'ti druer'. Luna: Ti druer. Nice. Lucas: Let's practice a quick dialogue. I'll be the seller. You say you want six apples. Luna: Okay. Jeg vil ha seks epler. Lucas: Great! And I say: 'Seks epler? Vær så snill.' That's 'six apples? Please.' Luna: Oh, we learned 'vær så snill' before. So I say 'takk' after. Lucas: Exactly. So the full exchange: You: 'Jeg vil ha seks epler.' Me: 'Seks epler, vær så snill.' You: 'Takk.' Luna: Jeg vil ha seks epler. Takk. Lucas: Perfect. Now let me ask you: how many do you want? Use a number. For example, 'Jeg vil ha sju appelsiner.' Luna: Jeg vil ha sju appelsiner. Took me a second but I said it. Lucas: And you said it correctly. Now let's count backwards from ten to one. Luna: Ti, ni, åtte, sju, seks, fem, fire, tre, to, en. That was fun. Lucas: It is. Now let's try a little challenge. I'll say a number, and you tell me the next one. Seks... Luna: Sju. Lucas: Åtte... Luna: Ni. Lucas: Ti... Luna: Umm, that's the last one. No more. Lucas: Right. Good. Now let's do a quick recap of all the numbers today. Repeat after me: seks. Luna: Seks. Lucas: Sju. Luna: Sju. Lucas: Åtte. Luna: Åtte. Lucas: Ni. Luna: Ni. Lucas: Ti. Luna: Ti. Lucas: And now all together: seks, sju, åtte, ni, ti. Luna: Seks, sju, åtte, ni, ti. I feel like I could count to ten in my sleep now. Lucas: That's the goal. Practice them when you're waiting in line or walking. Just whisper them to yourself. Luna: Good idea. I'll do that. And next time we'll learn more numbers? Lucas: We'll see. Maybe we'll learn how to order coffee or something. But for now, keep practicing these. Luna: Will do. Thanks, Lucas. And thanks to our listeners for joining us on Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. Lucas: Yes, thanks for being here. Remember, small steps every day. Practice your numbers: seks, sju, åtte, ni, ti. And we'll see you next time. Ha det! Luna: Ha det!
