- Lucas: Hi everyone. Welcome back to Learn Norwegian with Fexingo. I am Lucas. Luna: And I am Luna. It is so good to be here again. Lucas: We are doing great work today. We will learn two very common verbs. Luna: Yes. One verb is for eating. And one is for drinking. Lucas: Let us start with the first verb. The word is 'å spise'. Luna: 'Å spise'. That means 'to eat'. Lucas: Correct. Let us say it slowly. 'Å spise'.... 'Å spise'. Luna: 'Å spise'. Okay. To eat. Lucas: Now let us make a simple sentence. 'Jeg spiser mat'. Luna: 'Jeg spiser mat'. I eat food. Lucas: Yes. 'Jeg spiser mat'. Let us try it again. 'Jeg spiser mat'. Luna: 'Jeg spiser mat'. It sounds easy. I like it. Lucas: It is very useful. You can use it at any meal. Luna: Right. Now what is the second verb? For drinking? Lucas: Yes. The word is 'å drikke'. Luna: 'Å drikke'. To drink. Lucas: Let us say it slowly. 'Å drikke'.... 'Å drikke'. Luna: 'Å drikke'. To drink. Got it. Lucas: Now let us make a sentence with this one too. 'Jeg drikker kaffe'. Luna: 'Jeg drikker kaffe'. I drink coffee. Lucas: Perfect. 'Jeg drikker kaffe'. Try it with me. 'Jeg drikker kaffe'. Luna: 'Jeg drikker kaffe'. Yes. That is very clear. Lucas: These two verbs are friends. They often go together. Luna: They do. Like when you have lunch. Lucas: Exactly. So let us combine them. 'Vi spiser sammen'. Luna: 'Vi spiser sammen'. We eat together. Lucas: Yes. 'Vi spiser sammen'. Let us repeat that. 'Vi spiser sammen'. Luna: 'Vi spiser sammen'. I like the idea of eating together. Lucas: It is a nice feeling. Now let us add a request. Luna: A request? Like asking for something? Lucas: Yes. A very polite way to ask for water. 'Kan jeg få vann'. Luna: 'Kan jeg få vann'. Can I get water? Lucas: Correct. 'Kan jeg få vann'. Let us say it slowly. 'Kan jeg få vann'. Luna: 'Kan jeg få vann'. That is so helpful. Thank you. Lucas: You are welcome. Let us practice all four sentences now. Luna: Okay. Ready. Here we go. Lucas: First. 'Jeg spiser mat'. Luna: 'Jeg spiser mat'. Lucas: Second. 'Jeg drikker kaffe'. Luna: 'Jeg drikker kaffe'. Lucas: Third. 'Vi spiser sammen'. Luna: 'Vi spiser sammen'. Lucas: Fourth. 'Kan jeg få vann'. Luna: 'Kan jeg få vann'. Lucas: Excellent work. You are learning fast. Luna: I feel confident. These words are in my head now. Lucas: That is the goal. Keep repeating them. Luna: I will. Before we continue, I want to share something. Lucas: Sure. What is on your mind? Luna: Well, since we just talked about eating and drinking, it made me think about how much energy we need to learn. Lucas: Oh, I see where you are going. Luna: Yes. Learning takes fuel. And this podcast takes support. Lucas: Right. If you enjoy our little chats, there is a way to help. Luna: We have a page where you can buy us a coffee. Literally. Lucas: If Fexingo has been helping you make progress, you can support us at buy me a coffee dot com slash fexingo. Luna: It really keeps the show ad-free and running smoothly. Lucas: Any amount helps. But no pressure at all. Luna: Just know that we appreciate it if you choose to do it. Lucas: Thanks, Luna. Let us get back to the language. Luna: Yes. Back to the verbs. Lucas: Let us imagine a scene. You are at a cafe. Luna: Oh, I love cafes. What happens? Lucas: You sit down. You want to order. You say 'Jeg spiser mat'. Luna: Wait, I would say 'Jeg vil ha mat' usually. But 'Jeg spiser mat' works too. Lucas: True. But let us stick to our pattern. 'Jeg spiser mat'. Luna: Okay. 'Jeg spiser mat'. Then you drink. Lucas: You say 'Jeg drikker kaffe'. Luna: 'Jeg drikker kaffe'. Perfect. Lucas: Then you look for a friend. You wave. You say 'Vi spiser sammen'. Luna: 'Vi spiser sammen'. Like we are sharing the moment. Lucas: Yes. And if the cup is empty? Luna: I raise my hand. I say 'Kan jeg få vann'. Lucas: Or 'Kan jeg få mer kaffe' maybe. Luna: Definitely. But 'Kan jeg få vann' is always safe. Lucas: It is. Let us review the words one more time. Luna: Here we go. Lucas: 'Å spise'. Luna: 'Å spise'. Lucas: 'Jeg spiser mat'. Luna: 'Jeg spiser mat'. Lucas: 'Å drikke'. Luna: 'Å drikke'. Lucas: 'Jeg drikker kaffe'. Luna: 'Jeg drikker kaffe'. Lucas: 'Vi spiser sammen'. Luna: 'Vi spiser sammen'. Lucas: 'Kan jeg få vann'. Luna: 'Kan jeg få vann'. Lucas: Great job. You are doing wonderful. Luna: I am ready for my next meal. In Norwegian. Lucas: Well, almost. Keep practicing. Luna: I will. See you next time. Lucas: Bye for now.
