| Norwegian Survival Phrases. Lesson 21. |
| Using the Internet in Norway |
| In this lesson, we'll learn about a place crucial to your travels in this modern age—the Internet café! Normally, you find Internet cafés in the big cities. But these days, it is very hard to find areas without Internet in Norway; the minimum level of service is a common computer near the front desk. In hotels and cafés, Wi-Fi is usually part of the service. But if you don't carry your laptop around, well, here's our lesson for you. |
| Let's imagine you're at the reception and you need to ask how much the connection is and for how long. |
| Unnskyld, hvor mye koster én time? Unnskyld, hvor mye koster én time? This literally means, "Excuse me, how much is one hour?" Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: Unnskyld, hvor mye koster én time? Unnskyld, hvor mye koster én time? This sentence is made up of Unnskyld and then Hvor mye koster, which we have already seen in previous lessons, followed by én time. In this case, the word time is used, which means, "hour." |
| They will probably answer you with something such as the price of the connection per hour and then ...per time, per time, per time. Let's hear the answer too, Det koster seksti kroner per time. Det koster seksti kroner per time. "It's sixty kroner per hour". |
| It is also quite common to charge in thirty minute blocks at these cafés, so you may hear ...halvtime. Halv means "half." Let's see an example: førti kroner per halvtime, førti kroner per halvtime. Don't forget to check out our lesson on numbers, but one last time, I'll tell you that this means, "40 kroner per half an hour." |
| One more thing to remember here is the order of the two big elements of these sentences can change too. So we've learned førti kroner per halv time, but you might also hear, en halvtime er førti kroner, en halvtime er førti kroner. There isn't really any difference between the meaning of these two. |
| 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. |
