| Norwegian Survival Phrases. Lesson 18. |
| How much in Norwegian? |
| Now it's time for some useful Survival Phrases for when you have free time to go shopping in Norwegian stores. |
| You should remember that Unnskyld, or "Excuse me," is almost always the first thing to say when you're talking to a shop clerk. After saying Unnskyld, you should say, |
| Hvor mye koster denne? Hvor mye koster denne? ("How much is this?") Hvor mye koster is a construction that means, "How much costs?" and we follow it with Denne, meaning, "this one." |
| Let's break down these words by syllable and hear them one more time: denne, denne. Hvor mye, hvor mye. Koster, koster. |
| Let's imagine that you are by a stand of clothes in a local market and you want to buy a shirt. After saying Unnskyld to get the stall-holder's attention, you can say, Hvor mye koster denne skjorten? Hvor mye koster denne skjorten? First, we already know Hvor mye koster ("How much costs"), then this time the demonstrative Denne comes after it. The last word in this construction is skjorten, which means "shirt" in the accusative. |
| Let's break down these words by syllable and hear them one more time: hvor mye koster denne skjorten? Hvor mye koster denne skjorten? Hvor mye koster denne skjorten? |
| If you are confused about how many kroner you are holding you may ask "how many kroner is this?" in Norwegian: Hvor mange kroner er dette? Hvor mange kroner er dette? hvor mange kroner er dette? |
| 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. |
