- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I'm Lucas, and as always, I'm here with the wonderful Luna. Luna: Hei hei! Ready for another tiny Norwegian treat? Last time we were opening doors and windows with 'å åpne'. That was fun. Lucas: Right, 'å åpne'. Today, let's open up something even better: a feeling. We're going to talk about cheering and celebrating. The verb is 'å juble'. Luna: 'Å juble'... to cheer! I love that. When your team scores a goal, you juble. Lucas: Exactly. 'Å juble' means to cheer, to rejoice, to express joy. Let's hear it slowly: 'å juble'. Luna: 'Å juble'. Lucas: Perfect. Now in the present tense, 'jeg jubler' – I cheer. Can you say that? Luna: 'Jeg jubler' – I cheer. That's easy because it's like 'jubler'. Lucas: And when you're really happy, you might say 'jeg jubler av glede' – I cheer with joy. But let's keep it simple. 'Jeg jubler'. Luna: 'Jeg jubler'. I'm cheering right now because this is fun. Are we going to have a little celebration? Lucas: Maybe. Let's also learn the noun 'jubel' – cheers, joy. Like 'Det var stor jubel' – there was great cheering. Can you try that? Luna: 'Det var stor jubel'. Oh, that sounds nice. Stor jubel. Lucas: And in the past tense, 'vi jublet' – we cheered. For example, 'Vi jublet da vi vant' – we cheered when we won. Say 'vi jublet'. Luna: 'Vi jublet'. We cheered. I can imagine that. So 'jublet' is the past form. Lucas: Yes. And one more useful phrase: 'juble for noe' – to cheer for something. Like 'De jublet for målet' – they cheered for the goal. Try 'juble for noe'. Luna: 'Juble for noe'. So you can cheer for a goal, a gift, anything. Lucas: Absolutely. Now let's put it all together in a little scene. Imagine you're at a concert and the singer comes on stage. You might say, 'Jeg jubler! Jeg er så glad!' – I'm cheering! I'm so happy! Luna: 'Jeg jubler! Jeg er så glad!' Oh, that's perfect for a concert. I can't wait to use that. Lucas: Let's practice that. Repeat after me: 'Jeg jubler!' Luna: 'Jeg jubler!' Lucas: And 'Jeg er så glad!' Luna: 'Jeg er så glad!' Now I'm actually cheering. This is great. Lucas: You're a natural. And remember, if you're cheering with friends, you can say 'vi jubler' – we cheer. But let's not get ahead. We'll stick with the basics. Luna: Good. Because I want to get this really well. So, 'å juble' – to cheer, 'jeg jubler' – I cheer, 'jubel' – cheers, 'vi jublet' – we cheered, 'juble for noe' – to cheer for something. That's a lot of joy. Lucas: You've got it.

Oh, that's sweet. I'll use that with my friends. Lucas: That's a great phrase to keep in your pocket. Now, let's put it in a mini story. Ready? Luna: Ready. Lucas: Imagine you're watching a football match. Your team scores. You jump up and shout, 'Jeg jubler! Vi jublet!' Your friend next to you says, 'Jeg også!' Luna: I love that. 'Vi jublet' – we cheered together. So natural. Lucas: And if you're at a birthday party, you might say 'Det er stor jubel' – there's great cheer. Can you say that? Luna: 'Det er stor jubel'.
