| Cultural Insight |
| Michael: Now it's time for a quick language tip. |
| Inger: If you want to refuse an invitation, by saying that you don't have time, instead of just saying Jeg har ikke tid, you can add the word dessverre, which means "unfortunately," and will make your refusal less direct. All together, "Unfortunately I don't have time" is Jeg har dessverre ikke tid. |
