| INTRODUCTION |
| Jasmine: Hi everyone, Jasmine here. |
| Philip: Hei, jeg er Philip And I am Philip. |
| Jasmine: Welcome back to NorwegianClass101.com. This is Basic Bootcamp Lesson 4, Counting from 1 to 100 in Norwegian. This is the fourth in a five-part series that will help you ease your way into Norwegian. |
| Philip: In this lesson, you will learn one of the essentials in Norwegian. Numbers. |
| Jasmine: So everybody pull out your abacuses. |
| Philip: Like what? |
| Jasmine: Just kidding. |
| Philip: At least we will try to make learning numbers as easy for you as using an Abacus. |
| Jasmine: Yes we will start with the basics. In this lesson, we will count from 1 to 10. |
| Philip: Okay. Now this conversation takes place at a gym. |
| Jasmine: That’s right. It’s between Ole and his coach who will be counting his push-ups. |
| Philip: Okay. Let’s listen to the conversation. |

| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Jasmine: I feel like I’ve heard a lot of those words before somehow. |
| Philip: Very true. I think you can hear the likeness to a lot of English numbers. |
| Jasmine: Like 2? |
| Philip: Yes. You will find many examples of words and especially numbers that are very similar. |
| Jasmine: And once you learn the basics, you will be able to build larger numbers by putting together different parts of the words. |
| Philip: Just like bricks when building a house. |
| Jasmine: Comparing a number to building a house doesn’t sound easy to me. |
| Philip: Don’t worry. We are going to go over them in a way that’s really easy to understand. |
| Jasmine: Basically Philip is going to read out each number and you have to repeat after him. |
| VOCAB LIST |
| Philip: Okay here we go. I will say it and give you time to repeat aloud after me. En. |

Lesson focus |
|---|
| Jasmine: Okay. So we more or less mastered the basic numbers 1 to 10 but how can we count above 10. |
| Philip: Well we form the numbers 13 through 19 simply by adding 10 to the numbers 3 through 9. There are two exceptions though but the main thing to remember is 10. |
| Jasmine: So how does it go? |
| Philip: Elleve, Tolv, Tretten, Fjorten, Femten, Seksten, Sytten, Atten, Nitten. 11 and 12 are two numbers you need to learn separately as they don’t have a logical structure like numbers 13 to 19. Repeat after me. Elleve, Tolv. |
| Jasmine: Great. We have covered the most difficult part. Now let’s take a look at the multiples of 10 which once you know 1 to 10 are really easy. |
| Philip: 20, 70 and 100 are the only ones that stand out this time. Tjue, Sytti, Hundre. |
| Jasmine: Other than these three, you add “ti” as an ending to your number. |
| Philip: So 50 would be femti. |
| Jasmine: Listen and repeat. |
| Philip: femti |
| Jasmine: So as you might have noticed, fem is number 5 and ti indicates that it’s a multiple of 10. Here are the rest. |
| Philip: Listeners, repeat after me. Treti, Førti, Femti, Seksti, Sytti, Åtti, Nitti. |
| Jasmine: Okay we are done with the multiples of 10. Now I am going to venture into some other important number territory but still not higher than 100 to start. |
| Philip: Yes no number overloading. |
| Jasmine: So what number could we use? I know. How old are you Philip? |
| Philip: Me? I am 25. |
| Jasmine: So to make a number that isn’t a denomination of 10, here is all you do. 20, 20 remember is tjue. Now all you do is add on the rest. |
| Philip: tjuefem. |
| Jasmine: Great because fem is a number for five. So all you have to do is say 20 plus a 5 on the end. |
| Philip: So let’s try with one more number. |
| Jasmine: And what’s 31 in Norwegian? |
| Philip: Trettien. |
| Jasmine: Yes because it’s 30 plus en which is a number for 1. Okay. Now let’s take a look at today’s grammar point. Cardinal and ordinal numbers. |
| Philip: So we got down most numbers but these are only known as cardinals used to count quantity. What if you want to say for example May 17 using an Ordinal number? |
| Jasmine: Even in English, these are different. So starting from 1, what are the ordinal numbers in Norwegian? |
| Philip: Første. |
| Jasmine: First. |
| Philip: Andre. |
| Jasmine: Second |
| Philip: Tredje. |
| Jasmine: Third. Let’s try with some examples. |
| Philip: Første november. |
| Jasmine: November 1st. |
| Philip: Andre gangen. |
| Jasmine: The second time. |
| Philip: Tredje huset for høyre. |
| Jasmine: The third house from the right. As you can see, these numbers change significantly when ordinal. The thing is that in Norwegian as in English, all cardinal numbers from 1 to 1 million have ordinal equivalents. |
| Philip: So as a short introduction, let’s list the first 12 ones here. |
| Jasmine: All right. So continuing from 3rd, we have |
| Philip: Fjerde. |
| Jasmine: Fourth. |
| Philip: Femte. |
| Jasmine: Fifth. |
| Philip: Sjette. |
| Jasmine: Sixth. |
| Philip: Syvende. |
| Jasmine: Seventh. |
| Philip: Åttende. |
| Jasmine: Eighth. |
| Philip: Niende. |
| Jasmine: Ninth. |
| Philip: Tiende. |
| Jasmine: Tenth. And again 11 and 12 follow their own logic. |
| Philip: Ellevte. |
| Jasmine: 11th |
| Philip: Tolvte. |
| Jasmine: 12th |
| Philip: All right. After 12, we have from 13th to 19th and like English, there is a logic. |
| Jasmine: Right. To make cardinal numbers from 13 to 19 ordinal, just add “de” at the end of the cardinal number. |
| Philip: Like Trettende. |
| Jasmine: 13th |
| Philip: And Fjortende. |
| Jasmine: 14th. |
| Philip: Okay well that’s not so bad right. |
Outro |
| Jasmine: Just keep practicing and you will have them down soon enough. Well that’s going to do it for this lesson. |
| Philip: Thanks for listening. Hade. |
| Jasmine: See you all next time. |
