Transcript
- Lucas: Hei og velkommen til Episode 27 of Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready for another tiny bite of Norwegian? Lucas: Absolutely. Last time we learned clothes. Today, animals. Pets, specifically. Luna: Oh, I love animals. What's the word for dog? Lucas: Hund. Hund. Say it with me: hund. Luna: Hund. Lucas: Good. And cat is katt. Katt. Luna: Katt. That sounds like 'cat' but with a K. Lucas: Exactly. Now, bird is fugl. Fugl. Luna: Fugl. Hmm, that's a bit tricky. Lucas: Try again: fugl. Luna: Fugl. Oof, almost. Lucas: You'll get it. Then fish is fisk. Fisk. Luna: Fisk. Like 'fisk' in English. Lucas: And rabbit is kanin. Kanin. Luna: Kanin. That's cute. I had a kanin when I was little. Lucas: Aww. Now, let's make a sentence. 'I have a dog' is Jeg har en hund. Luna: Jeg har en hund. Lucas: Perfect. And 'I have a cat' is Jeg har en katt. Luna: Jeg har en katt. So 'en' is like 'a'. Lucas: Right. En for masculine nouns. Hund is masculine, katt is masculine too. Luna: What about fugl? Is it en fugl? Lucas: Yes, en fugl. And en fisk, en kanin. All en words. Luna: Good to know. So Jeg har en fugl means I have a bird. Lucas: Exactly. Let's practice all five. I'll say the word, you repeat. Hund. Luna: Hund. Lucas: Katt. Luna: Katt. Lucas: Fugl. Luna: Fugl. Lucas: Fisk. Luna: Fisk. Lucas: Kanin. Luna: Kanin. Nailed it. Lucas: You did. Now imagine you're at a pet store. I am the shopkeeper. You say 'Jeg har en hund' to tell me you already have a dog. Luna: Jeg har en hund. Lucas: Then I say, 'Vil du ha en katt?' Do you want a cat? Luna: Hmm... Ja, jeg vil gjerne ha en katt. Lucas: Oh, using 'vil gjerne ha' from episode 15. Nice callback. Luna: Thanks. So I buy the cat. Then I say 'Jeg har en katt' at home. Lucas: Exactly. Let's do a full sentence round. Jeg har en hund. Luna: Jeg har en hund. Lucas: Jeg har en katt. Luna: Jeg har en katt. Lucas: Jeg har en fugl. Luna: Jeg har en fugl. Lucas: Jeg har en fisk. Luna: Jeg har en fisk. Lucas: Jeg har en kanin. Luna: Jeg har en kanin. That's five sentences. Lucas: And you said them all perfectly. Let's hear them one more time as a list: hund, katt, fugl, fisk, kanin. Luna: Hund, katt, fugl, fisk, kanin. Lucas: There you go. Now, a tiny test: what's 'I have a rabbit'? Luna: Jeg har en kanin. Lucas: Yes. And 'I have a bird'? Luna: Jeg har en fugl. Lucas: Perfect. So you're ready to talk about pets in Norwegian. Luna: This was fun. I'll remember hund and katt easily. Lucas: Me too. That's all for today from Fexingo. Practice these words: hund, katt, fugl, fisk, kanin, and the sentences Jeg har en hund and Jeg har en katt. Luna: Tusen takk, Lucas. Vi snakkes! Lucas: Vi snakkes! Ha det bra.
