Transcript
- Lucas: Velkommen til Episode 133 of Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I'm Lucas. Luna: And I'm Luna. Ready to learn some new Norwegian? Lucas: Absolutely. So last time we covered 'å drikke' – to drink. Today we've got another essential verb: 'å sove' – to sleep. Luna: Å sove. Sleep. I can definitely use that one. Lucas: Let's hear it: å sove. Luna: Å sove. Å sove. Lucas: Good. Now the present tense: jeg sover – I sleep. Luna: Jeg sover. I sleep. Lucas: And to ask someone: sover du? – do you sleep? Luna: Sover du? Do you sleep? Sover du. Lucas: Perfect. Now let's put it together. Jeg sover godt – I sleep well. Luna: Jeg sover godt. I sleep well. Lucas: And the question: sover du godt? – do you sleep well? Luna: Sover du godt? Do you sleep well? Lucas: Let's practice a little scene. Imagine you're talking to a friend. You say: Jeg sover godt. Sover du godt? Luna: Jeg sover godt. Sover du godt? Lucas: Nice. And your friend might answer: Ja, jeg sover godt. Or: Nei, jeg sover ikke godt. Luna: Ah, so 'ikke' for negation. Nei, jeg sover ikke godt. Lucas: Exactly. You're catching on. Luna: This is really helpful. Like, I can now ask my Norwegian roommate if they sleep well. Lucas: Exactly. And they'll be impressed.
