- Lucas: Hei, and welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. So good to be here again, Lucas. Lucas: Yeah, it's great. You know, last time we learned colors. Rød, blå, grønn. Luna: Right. I still love saying grønn. It's such a pretty word. Lucas: It is. Today, let's talk about something we all experience: the weather. Luna: Ohh, weather! That's perfect. Especially since it's been raining a lot here lately. Lucas: Exactly. So let's start with a simple word: sol. Luna: Sol. That sounds like sun. Lucas: Yes, sol means sun. Say it with me: sol. Luna: Sol. Lucas: Good. Nice and short. Sol. Luna: Sol. I like it. Lucas: Now, what about when it rains? The word is regn. Luna: Regn. That sounds a bit like 'rain' but with a g. Lucas: Exactly. Regn. Try it. Luna: Regn. Lucas: Perfect. Regn. And if it's really cold, you might get snø. Luna: Snø. That's snow, right? Lucas: Right. Snø. Say it. Luna: Snø. Lucas: Beautiful. And one more: vind. Luna: Vind. That sounds like wind. Lucas: Yes! Vind. So we have sol, regn, snø, vind. Luna: Sol, regn, snø, vind. I can already make a little weather report. Lucas: You can. But how do you ask about the weather? Let's learn a question: Hva er været? Luna: Hva er været? What is the weather? Lucas: Exactly. Hva er været? Let's break it down. Hva means what, er means is, været means the weather. Luna: Hva er været. So to ask 'What's the weather like?' Lucas: Yes. Try it from start: Hva er været? Luna: Hva er været? Lucas: Good. Now answer it. For example: Det er sol. Luna: Det er sol. It is sun? Or sunny? Lucas: Exactly. Det er sol means 'It's sunny.' Det er regn — 'It's rainy.' Det er snø — 'It's snowy.' Det er vind — 'It's windy.' Luna: Det er sol, det er regn, det er snø, det er vind. So simple. Lucas: Right. Let's practice a little dialogue. Imagine I ask: Hva er været? Luna: Uhh... Det er sol? Lucas: Yes! Perfect. What if it's raining? Luna: Det er regn. Lucas: Yes. And if it's snowy? Luna: Det er snø. Lucas: Excellent. And windy? Luna: Det er vind. Lucas: You've got it. Now let me tell you a tiny story. I walked outside today, and I thought: Hva er været? Luna: What was it? Lucas: Det var regn. It was rainy. So I grabbed an umbrella. Luna: Det var regn. Past tense! Oh, you said var instead of er. Lucas: Good catch. Var means was. So det var regn — it was rainy. But we'll stick with er for now. Luna: Okay. So today it's sunny? Det er sol? Lucas: Ja, det er sol i dag. Yes, it's sunny today. Luna: I love when it's sol. Let's go for a walk? Lucas: Sure. But first, let's repeat our words one more time. Sol. Luna: Sol. Lucas: Regn. Luna: Regn. Lucas: Snø. Luna: Snø. Lucas: Vind. Luna: Vind. Lucas: And Hva er været? Luna: Hva er været? Lucas: Perfect. You know, learning weather words is so useful. You can use them every day. Luna: Absolutely. Like, I can now tell my friends: I dag er det regn. In Norwegian. Lucas: That's awesome. And if it's sunny, you can say: I dag er det sol. Luna: I dag er det sol. I like that. Lucas: Alright, let's do a quick review. I'll say a word in English, you say it in Norwegian. Sun. Luna: Sol. Lucas: Rain. Luna: Regn. Lucas: Snow. Luna: Snø. Lucas: Wind. Luna: Vind. Lucas: And the question: What's the weather? Luna: Hva er været? Lucas: You're a natural. So remember, with Fexingo, learning Norwegian is easy and fun. Practice these words today. Look outside and say: I dag er det sol, or I dag er det regn. Luna: Or I dag er det snø! If you're lucky. Lucas: Yes. And if it's windy, I dag er det vind. Luna: Perfect. Takk for i dag, Lucas. Lucas: Takk for i dag, Luna. And to all our listeners: keep practicing, and we'll see you next time on Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. Luna: Ha det bra!
