| Norwegian Survival Phrases. Lesson 20. |
| Norwegian Money - An Introduction |
| In Norway, the currency is the Kroner. At the time of writing, the exchange rate is roughly 8 kroner to the Euro and 6 kroner to the USD. The currency includes 0.5, 1, 5, 10, and 20 krone coins, and 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 bills. |
| When talking about prices in kroner, it is necessary to learn to say "hundred." "Hundred" in Norwegian is hundre, hundre, hundre. This might also be the time to brush up on your numbers in Norwegian from one of our previous lessons. |
| Let's try to say prices in Norwegian—it won't be too difficult. Let's start with 120 NOK Hundreogtjue kroner. Hundreogtjue kroner. |
| If you go up to the thousands, things aren't really complicated either. Let's try one: 1350 NOK. It is ettusentrehundreogfemti kroner. See, if you remember how to say the numbers from 1-100, it is really not difficult. |
| Let's say that again: ettusentrehundreogfemti kroner, ettusentrehundreogfemti kroner, ettusentrehundreogfemti kroner. |
| Kroner has one other unit called øre. The only existing value in that unit is 50 øre. It's essentially half a krone. |
| Try it: 50 øre, 50 øre. |
| 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. |
