- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. Hello everyone. It is so good to be here again. Lucas: Yeah. We have been talking about a lot of physical actions lately. Luna: Right. Sewing, swimming, climbing, reading, writing. Lucas: Exactly. But today we are going inside the head. Luna: Inside the mind? Okay. I like that. Lucas: Today we look at memory. Specifically, forgetting and remembering. Luna: Oh, this is useful. I forget things all the time. Lucas: I know. That is why we need these words. Luna: So, let's start with the first one. The act of losing a memory. Lucas: Yes. The verb is å glemme. Luna: Å glemme. Lucas: Let's say it slowly. Å glemme. Luna: Å glemme. Lucas: Good. And normally. Å glemme. Luna: Å glemme. Lucas: It means to forget. Simple enough. Luna: But how do you use it in a sentence? Lucas: Let's make it real. You lose your keys. Luna: Oh no. Always happens to me. Lucas: So you say: Jeg glemte nøkkelen. Luna: Jeg glemte nøkkelen. Lucas: Slowly. Jeg glemte nøkkelen. Luna: Jeg glemte nøkkelen. Lucas: Normally. Jeg glemte nøkkelen. Luna: Jeg glemte nøkkelen. Lucas: Perfect. 'I forgot the key.' Luna: That sounds painful. I hate when I forget my keys. Lucas: Me too. So, what is the opposite? Luna: Remembering? Lucas: Yes. The verb is å huske. Luna: Å huske. Lucas: Say it slowly. Å huske. Luna: Å huske. Lucas: Good. And normally. Å huske. Luna: Å huske. Lucas: It means to remember. Luna: Okay. Let's try a question. Lucas: Good idea. Ask me if I remember something. Luna: Husker du det? Lucas: Husker du det? Luna: Husker du det? Lucas: Yes. 'Do you remember that?' Luna: I feel confident now. I remember everything. Lucas: Really? Even small details? Luna: Especially small details. Like your name. Lucas: Oh, really? Luna: Jeg husker navnet ditt. Lucas: Jeg husker navnet ditt. Luna: Jeg husker navnet ditt. Lucas: Jeg husker navnet ditt. Luna: Jeg husker navnet ditt. Lucas: Thank you. That is very sweet. Luna: I mean it. I always remember important things. Lucas: What about things you wish you hadn't forgotten? Luna: Oh, those are the worst. Lucas: Like an appointment or a deadline. Luna: Or where I put my phone. Lucas: Right. So, negative sentences are important too. Luna: Yes. 'I didn't remember that.' Lucas: Say it with me. Det husket jeg ikke. Luna: Det husket jeg ikke. Lucas: Slowly. Det husket jeg ikke. Luna: Det husket jeg ikke. Lucas: Normally. Det husket jeg ikke. Luna: Det husket jeg ikke. Lucas: Good. 'I didn't remember that.' Luna: That feels more honest. Sometimes I really don't remember. Lucas: We all do. It is part of being human. Luna: True. Especially after a long day of learning. Lucas: Speaking of long days, we should take a quick break. Luna: Oh? What do you mean?
