Lesson Transcript

Hello everybody and welcome to this class. My name is Anette and I am going to teach you Top 25 Phrases in Norwegian. Let’s get started.
1. Hallo. “Hello”
Actually, in Norwegian, the word for hello is so similar that even I mess it up. Hallo, “hello”
2. God morgen. "Good morning."
Well, this is basically almost the same.
3. God ettermiddag. "Good afternoon."
4. God natt. "Good night."
Time for bed.
5. Hva heter du? "What's your name?"
Actually this means something like what are you called.
6. Jeg heter Anette. "I'm Anette.”
Jeg heter Anette. "My name is Anette.”
Or literally, I am called Anette.
7. Hyggelig å møte deg. "Nice to meet you."
A very useful phrase when you meet somebody for the first time.
8. Hvordan går det med deg? "How are you?"
Maybe if you haven’t seen somebody for a long time, you can use this phrase.
9. Jeg har det bra, takk. Hva med deg? "I'm fine, thanks. And you?"
You could make this phrase even shorter and say - bra takk, med deg?
10. Vær så snill. "Please."
Yeah. This is also a very useful phrase you can use in almost any situation if there’s anything you want.
11. Takk. "Thank you."
We also have the phrase tusen takk, which literally means "a thousand thanks" if you want to be more polite.
12. Vær så god. "You're welcome."
It’s my pleasure.
13. Ja. "Yes."
14. Nei. "No."
15. Greit. "Okay."
Actually, you can just say okay as well as it’s very commonly used in Norwegian too.
16. Unnskyld meg. "Excuse me."
Unnskyld is a very useful phrase. When you want to say sorry, you can also say Unnskyld.
17. Jeg beklager. "I'm sorry."
Or you can say Unnskyld.
18. Hva er klokka? "What time is it?"
Actually Hva er klokka? Literally means what is the clock.
19. Kan jeg få regningen er du snill? "Could I get the check, please?"
Unfortunately, those bills aren’t going to pay themselves you know.
20. Vent ett øyeblikk. "Wait a moment."
Øyeblikk actually means "eye blink". So wait for just a blink of an eye.
21. Hvor mye koster denne? "How much is this?"
Well yeah, as we all know, Norway is a really expensive country. So you are going to need a lot of money traveling there.
22. Hjelp! "Help!"
Easy to remember, almost the same.
23. Ser deg senere. "See you later."
You can also say - vi se senere, "we will see each other later".
24. Farvel. "Goodbye."
Actually, this is kind of a heavy phrase. It’s like farewell in English and it’s usually used if you are saying goodbye to somebody you are not going to see in a very long time. So usually, we would just say ha det bra. Ha det bra literally means have it well. So it just means "stay well".
25. Jeg vet ikke. "I don't know."
Sometimes you don’t know. Nothing to do with that.
That’s all for now. Thank you all for watching. Thank you. Goodbye!
