- Lucas: Hei, and welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready for episode 67? Lucas: Absolutely. Today we're going to learn something super practical—the days of the week in Norwegian. Luna: Oh nice! I've been wanting to say things like 'I have class on Monday' or 'Let's meet on Friday.' Lucas: Exactly. So let's start with Monday. In Norwegian, Monday is mandag. Say it with me: mandag. Luna: Mandag. Lucas: Good. Tuesday is tirsdag. Tirsdag. Luna: Tirsdag. Lucas: Wednesday is onsdag. Onsdag. Luna: Onsdag. Lucas: Thursday is torsdag. Torsdag. Luna: Torsdag. Lucas: Friday is fredag. Fredag. Luna: Fredag. Lucas: Saturday is lørdag. Lørdag. Luna: Lørdag. Lucas: And Sunday is søndag. Søndag. Luna: Søndag. Lucas: Great job. Let's do a quick drill. I'll say the English, you say the Norwegian. Monday? Luna: Mandag. Lucas: Tuesday? Luna: Tirsdag. Lucas: Wednesday? Luna: Onsdag. Lucas: Thursday? Luna: Torsdag. Lucas: Friday? Luna: Fredag. Lucas: Saturday? Luna: Lørdag. Lucas: Sunday? Luna: Søndag. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's practice a simple sentence. 'Today is Monday.' In Norwegian: I dag er det mandag. Luna: I dag er det mandag. Lucas: Yes. And 'I have class on Monday' would be 'Jeg har undervisning på mandag.' Let's break that down: Jeg har undervisning på mandag. Luna: Jeg har undervisning på mandag. Lucas: Try saying 'I have class on Tuesday.' Luna: Jeg har undervisning på tirsdag. Lucas: Excellent. You know, learning days of the week is so useful for planning.

Lucas, ask me what day it is. Lucas: Sure. Hvilken dag er det i dag? That means 'What day is it today?' Luna: Hvilken dag er det i dag? Lucas: And you can answer: I dag er det mandag. Luna: I dag er det mandag. Lucas: Let's try with different days. What day is it today? Luna: I dag er det tirsdag. Lucas: Great. And now you ask me. Luna: Hvilken dag er det i dag? Lucas: I dag er det onsdag. Luna: Oh, I like that pattern. So if I want to say 'Today is Saturday,' I'd say 'I dag er det lørdag.' Lucas: Exactly. And 'Today is Sunday' is 'I dag er det søndag.' Luna: I dag er det søndag. Lucas: Wonderful. Let's review all seven days one more time. Repeat after me: mandag, tirsdag, onsdag, torsdag, fredag, lørdag, søndag. Luna: Mandag, tirsdag, onsdag, torsdag, fredag, lørdag, søndag. Lucas: You did it. Now you can talk about your week in Norwegian. Practice these every day, and soon they'll feel natural. Luna: Thanks, Lucas. This was really helpful. Lucas: You're welcome, Luna. And to all our listeners, keep practicing. We'll be back with another episode soon. Ha det bra! Luna: Ha det bra!
