| POST |

| Mai: Søstershopping er det beste. |
| John: "Sister-shopping is the best." |
| Mai: (SLOW) Søstershopping er det beste. (Regular) Søstershopping er det beste. |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "sister-shopping." |
| Mai: Søstershopping |
| John: This word would typically be used in a colloquial setting, such as social media, as it is a combination of the word "sister" and "shopping." Many words that are usually written with a hyphen or as two words in English are written as one in Norwegian, like this word. The meaning becomes "shopping with my sister." Listen again- "Sister-shopping " is... |
| Mai: (SLOW) Søstershopping (REGULAR) Søstershopping |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "is the best." |
| Mai: er det beste |
| John: This phrase is very useful when you want to express what you like the most. Listen again- "is the best " is... |
| Mai: (SLOW) er det beste (REGULAR) er det beste |
| John: All together, it's "Sister-shopping is the best." |
| Mai: Søstershopping er det beste. |
