Luna: Yeah, it makes a real difference. And if you can't, no worries at all. Just being here learning with us is great. Lucas: Exactly. So today, we're staying at the doctor's office, but we're going deeper into describing symptoms. Luna: Oh good, because last episode I learned 'Jeg har vondt i hodet' and 'Jeg har vondt i magen.' But what if I have a fever? That's different. Lucas: Right. So, 'fever' in Norwegian is 'feber.' And you say 'Jeg har feber.' Let's hear it. Lucas: Jeg har feber. Luna: Jeg har feber. Lucas: Perfect. Now, what if you're coughing? Luna: Um, 'cough' is 'hoste,' so... 'Jeg hoster'? Lucas: Exactly. 'Å hoste' means to cough. So 'Jeg hoster.' Let's practice. Lucas: Jeg hoster. Luna: Jeg hoster. Lucas: Good. And if you feel nauseous, you say 'Jeg føler meg kvalm.' 'Kvalm' means nauseous. Lucas: Jeg føler meg kvalm. Luna: Jeg føler meg kvalm. That's a mouthful. Lucas: It is, but you'll get it. And another common one: sore throat. 'Jeg har vondt i halsen.' Lucas: Jeg har vondt i halsen. Luna: Jeg har vondt i halsen. So 'hals' is throat? Lucas: Yes. And the doctor might ask 'Hvor lenge har du hatt det?' How long have you had it? Lucas: Hvor lenge har du hatt det? Luna: Hvor lenge har du hatt det? That's useful. So I could answer 'Jeg har hatt det i to dager.' Lucas: Exactly. 'Jeg har hatt det i to dager.' But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Let's practice the symptoms again. Lucas: Jeg har feber. Luna: Jeg har feber. Lucas: Jeg hoster. Luna: Jeg hoster. Lucas: Jeg føler meg kvalm. Luna: Jeg føler meg kvalm. Lucas: Jeg har vondt i halsen. Luna: Jeg har vondt i halsen. Lucas: Now let's do a mini-scene. I'm the doctor. You're the patient. You come in and I ask 'Hva er problemet?' What's the problem? Luna: Jeg har feber og jeg hoster. Lucas: Good. And I say 'Hvor lenge har du hatt det?' Luna: Hmm, 'Jeg har hatt det i tre dager.' Lucas: Perfect. That's a great start. So today's phrases: Jeg har feber, Jeg hoster, Jeg føler meg kvalm, Jeg har vondt i halsen, and Hvor lenge har du hatt det? Lucas: Let's say them one more time. Repeat after me. Jeg har feber. Luna: Jeg har feber. Lucas: Jeg hoster. Luna: Jeg hoster. Lucas: Jeg føler meg kvalm. Luna: Jeg føler meg kvalm. Lucas: Jeg har vondt i halsen. Luna: Jeg har vondt i halsen.
