- Lucas: Velkommen tilbake til Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Episode 123! Can you believe it? Lucas: I know, we've come a long way. Last time we were at the pharmacy asking for help. Luna: Yes, and I still remember 'Jeg trenger medisin mot hodepine.' That was useful. Lucas: Today we're going deeper. We'll learn how to buy specific medicine for pain, cold, and fever. Luna: Oh, good. Because I actually had a cold last week and I didn't know how to ask. Lucas: Well, today you'll be ready next time. Let's start with a key phrase: Jeg trenger noe mot smerte. Luna: Jeg trenger noe mot smerte. That means 'I need something for pain.' Right? Lucas: Exactly. Jeg trenger — I need. Noe mot smerte — something against pain. Luna: Jeg trenger noe mot smerte. I like how 'mot' works like 'against' in English. Lucas: Yes. Now, if you have a cold, you can say: Har dere noe mot forkjølelse? Luna: Har dere noe mot forkjølelse? 'Do you have something for a cold?' That's perfect. Lucas: Har dere — do you have. Noe mot forkjølelse — something against a cold. Luna: Har dere noe mot forkjølelse. I can see myself using that. Lucas: Now, if you have a specific pain, like a headache: Jeg har vondt i hodet. Luna: Jeg har vondt i hodet. We learned that before! 'I have pain in my head.' Lucas: Right. And then you can add: Kan jeg få noe mot feber? — Can I get something for fever? Luna: Kan jeg få noe mot feber. 'Fever' is feber. Easy. Lucas: Exactly. And after they help you, you say: Takk for hjelpen. Luna: Takk for hjelpen. 'Thanks for the help.' Always good to be polite. Lucas: Let's practice a mini conversation. I'm the pharmacist. Luna: Okay. Hei, jeg har vondt i hodet. Har dere noe mot smerte? Lucas: Ja, vi har paracet. Vil du ha det? Luna: Ja, takk. Kan jeg få noe mot feber også? Lucas: Selvfølgelig. Her er det. Luna: Takk for hjelpen. Wow, that felt real. Lucas: You did great. Now you can handle a pharmacy visit.

Lucas: Now, let's practice one more phrase: Kan jeg få noe mot hoste? — Can I get something for a cough? Luna: Kan jeg få noe mot hoste. Hoste is cough. That's good to know too. Lucas: Exactly. So now you have a full set: for pain, cold, fever, and cough. Luna: Jeg trenger noe mot smerte. Har dere noe mot forkjølelse? Jeg har vondt i hodet. Kan jeg få noe mot feber? Takk for hjelpen. Lucas: Perfect! You've got it. Repeat those and you'll be ready for any pharmacy visit. Luna: Tusen takk, Lucas. This was so helpful. Lucas: Bare hyggelig.
