- Lucas: Velkommen til episode 177 of Learn Norwegian with Fexingo! I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna! Ready to learn a new verb today? Lucas: Absolutely. Today we're focusing on a super useful verb: 'å åpne' – to open. Luna: Å åpne. That sounds like 'open' but with a little twist. Lucas: Exactly. Let's start with the base form: 'å åpne'. Say it with me: å åpne. Luna: Å åpne. Lucas: Good. Now the present tense: 'jeg åpner' – I open. Jeg åpner. Luna: Jeg åpner. I open. That's pretty straightforward. Lucas: Yeah. And if you want to ask someone: 'åpner du?' – do you open? Åpner du? Luna: Åpner du? So like, 'Åpner du døren?' – do you open the door? Lucas: Perfect! 'Åpne døren' – open the door. Let's practice that. Åpne døren. Luna: Åpne døren. Open the door. Lucas: And another common one: 'åpne vinduet' – open the window. Åpne vinduet. Luna: Åpne vinduet. That's useful when it's stuffy in the room. Lucas: Right. And finally, a polite request: 'kan du åpne?' – can you open? Kan du åpne? Luna: Kan du åpne? That's a good one to know. Lucas: Let's do a quick scene. Imagine you're at home and you get a package. You say: 'Jeg åpner pakken.' – I open the package. Luna: Jeg åpner pakken. Nice! Or if I want to ask you to open the window: 'Kan du åpne vinduet?' Lucas: Exactly! And I'd say: 'Ja, jeg åpner vinduet.' Let's run through all the phrases one more time. Repeat after me: å åpne. Luna: Å åpne. Lucas: Jeg åpner. Luna: Jeg åpner. Lucas: Åpner du? Luna: Åpner du? Lucas: Åpne døren. Luna: Åpne døren. Lucas: Åpne vinduet. Luna: Åpne vinduet. Lucas: Kan du åpne? Luna: Kan du åpne?
