- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo! I'm Lucas, and with me is Luna. Luna: Hei hei! Ready for another tiny Norwegian lesson? I've been practicing my verbs. Lucas: Great! Today we have a verb that's perfect for planning trips. The verb is 'å reise' — to travel. Luna: Å reise. To travel. Okay, let me say it: å reise. Lucas: Exactly. Now, the present tense is 'reiser'. So 'Jeg reiser' means 'I travel'. Luna: Jeg reiser. I travel. Lucas: Perfect. Let's add a destination. 'Jeg reiser til Oslo.' I travel to Oslo. Luna: Jeg reiser til Oslo. That's easy! I can already imagine going there. Lucas: Now, what if you want to ask someone? 'Hvor reiser du?' Where do you travel? Luna: Hvor reiser du? Where are you traveling? That's useful. Lucas: And you can ask about the means. 'Reiser du med tog?' Do you travel by train? Luna: Reiser du med tog? Ooh, I love trains. Let me try: Reiser du med tog? Lucas: Perfect. And one more: 'Jeg reiser i morgen.' I travel tomorrow. Luna: Jeg reiser i morgen. That's great for planning. So 'i morgen' is tomorrow, right? Lucas: Exactly. So let's do a little scene. I'm going to Oslo by train tomorrow. Luna: Okay! Then you say: Jeg reiser til Oslo. Reiser du med tog? Jeg reiser i morgen. Lucas: That's it! You just made a whole conversation. Let's repeat once more. Listen and repeat: Jeg reiser til Oslo. Luna: Jeg reiser til Oslo. Lucas: Reiser du med tog? Luna: Reiser du med tog? Lucas: Hvor reiser du? Luna: Hvor reiser du? Lucas: Jeg reiser i morgen. Luna: Jeg reiser i morgen. Lucas: You know, if Fexingo has been helping you with verbs like this, we're glad.

Lucas: Yes. And if you want to say you're not traveling? 'Jeg reiser ikke.' I do not travel. Luna: Jeg reiser ikke. So 'ikke' goes after the verb. Good to know. Lucas: Alright, let's practice one more time. Repeat after me: Jeg reiser til Oslo. Luna: Jeg reiser til Oslo. Lucas: Reiser du med tog? Luna: Reiser du med tog? Lucas: Hvor reiser du? Luna: Hvor reiser du? Lucas: Jeg reiser i morgen. Luna: Jeg reiser i morgen. Lucas: Fantastic! Now you can talk about traveling in Norwegian. Keep practicing, and we'll be back soon.
