- Lucas: Welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is good to be back here with you. Lucas: It really is. We have been moving a lot lately. Last time we talked about flying and hurrying. Luna: Right. And before that, writing and pressing buttons on the screen. Lucas: Exactly. So today we are going to move again. But this time it is more physical. Luna: I like physical. I like throwing things. Lucas: Oh, do you? Well, let us start with the first verb. It is å kaste. Luna: Å kaste. That sounds like cast. Like a fishing line or a die? Lucas: Yes, exactly. It means to throw. Let me say it slowly for you. Lucas: Å kaste. Luna: Å kaste. Okay. I think I got that. Lucas: Let me say it again. Å kaste. Luna: Å kaste. Yeah. It feels nice to say. Lucas: Now let us put it into a sentence. A very simple one. Jeg kaster ballen. Luna: Jeg kaster ballen. That means I throw the ball? Lucas: Perfect. Jeg kaster ballen. Repeat it with me. Lucas: Jeg kaster ballen. Luna: Jeg kaster ballen. I throw the ball. Lucas: Very good. Now imagine we are at the park. You want me to throw something. Luna: So I would ask: Kan du kaste? Lucas: Yes. Kan du kaste? Can you throw? Let us try that together. Lucas: Kan du kaste? Luna: Kan du kaste? Yes. I can definitely do that. Lucas: Great job. So we have three phrases now. Å kaste. Jeg kaster ballen. Kan du kaste? Luna: Yeah. Those feel solid. What about the second verb? Lucas: This one is a bit different. It is å trosse. It means to defy or to ignore. Luna: To defy. Like being rebellious? Or just not listening? Lucas: Both. It can mean ignoring rules, or even ignoring bad weather. Let me say it slowly. Lucas: Å trosse. Luna: Å trosse. Hmm. That sounds strong. Lucas: It is a strong word. Let me say it again. Å trosse. Luna: Å trosse. Okay. I hear the hard sound at the end. Lucas: Exactly. Now let us make a sentence. Jeg trorser regnet. Luna: Jeg trorser regnet. I defy the rain? Lucas: Yes. Or I go out despite the rain. It implies you don't care about the weather. Let us try it. Lucas: Jeg trorser regnet. Luna: Jeg trorser regnet. I am going for a walk anyway. Lucas: That is the spirit. In Norway, we often have rain. So defying it is a skill. Luna: It is. Especially when you want to buy coffee. Lucas: True. And there is another use. If someone is teasing you, they might be defying you. Luna: Like what? Du trosser meg? Lucas: Yes. Du trosser meg. You are defying me. Or ignoring my advice. Let us practice that too. Lucas: Du trosser meg. Luna: Du trosser meg. No, I will not listen to you. Lucas: There you go. So now we have our full set. Å kaste. Jeg kaster ballen. Kan du kaste? And then å trosse. Jeg trorser regnet. Du trosser meg. Luna: That was fast. But I think I remember them. Lucas: Let us check. Tell me how you throw the ball. Luna: Jeg kaster ballen. Lucas: Good. And tell me you are ignoring the rain. Luna: Jeg trorser regnet. Lucas: Perfect. You are doing well. Luna: Thanks. It helps that they are short words.
