| Norwegian Survival Phrases. Lesson 15. |
| Norwegian Restaurant: Asking for the Check |
| In the last lesson, we learned how to get the waiter's attention and how to order your meal and beverages at the restaurant. |
| Once you have the beverages and all the entrées you have ordered you can start to enjoy the mouthwatering meal. |
| Normally, if the waiter sees that you have finished, he or she will come to your table, and kindly ask, Skal jeg ta det? Skal jeg ta det?("Shall I clean up?") Let's break down these words and hear them one more time: skal jeg ta det? Skal jeg ta det? |
| Skal means, "Shall." Skal, skal. Jeg means, "I," as you might remember, and ta det means, "take it." Let's recap. |
| Skal jeg ta det? Skal jeg ta det? |
| If you're finished just answer the waiter or waitress with a Ja ("yes"). |
| If you're still hungry, though-very unlikely after a Norwegian meal-you can say, Kan jeg bestille mer? Kan jeg bestille mer? Kan jeg bestille mer? It literally means, "Can I order more?" Let's break this down. Kan means "can." Kan, kan. After this comes Jeg, which of course means, I. Next we have bestille, which means to order. Bestille, bestille. Last we have mer, which means more. Altogether, we have Kan jeg bestille mer? Kan jeg bestille mer? Kan jeg bestille mer? |
| If you are pleased with your meal and are ready to leave, you should say, "The check please." In Norwegian: Regningen, er du snill. Regningen, er du snill. Regningen, er du snill. First, we have Regningen which is a form of the word meaning ("check" or "bill"). Regningen, regningen. We follow this with er du snill, a phrase we should be familiar with by now which means, "please." |
| All put together it is Regningen, er du snill. Regningen, er du snill. |
| And there you have it! |
| Okay, the closeout todays lesson, would like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer. Så lykke til, which means good luck in Norwegian. |
| Shall I clean up? |
| Skal jeg ta det? |
| Skal jeg ta det? |
| Skal jeg ta det? |
| Can I order more? |
| Kan jeg bestille mer? |
| Kan jeg bestille mer? |
| Kan jeg bestille mer? |
| The check, please? |
| Regningen, er du snill. |
| Regningen, er du snill? |
| Regningen, er du snill? |
