| Riding the Norwegian Bus: Getting a Ticket |
| The bus is an important means of transportation. In many Norwegian cities, even in big cities, we use buses almost as often as the subway. We use buses to cover both long and short distances. However, before starting your trip, you probably need to buy a ticket. For local commuting in Norway the fare is around 30-40 kroner. You may purchase tickets at four places: At kiosks like Narvesen and 7-Eleven, Subway stations, vending machines that are often located next to the bus stop, or directly from the bus driver. Upon entering the bus, you must validate your ticket at one of the validation machines that stamp your ticket, or buy a ticket from the bus driver. |
| Let's imagine you are in Oslo, since it's the easiest to buy tickets there—all stops inside the city, regardless of distance, cost the same. The sentence you say will be, En enkeltbillett, er du snill. |
| First, you have En ("one"), and then Enkeltbillett. "a single-use ticket", and finally you have er du snill, which is the equivalent to "please." In Oslo, you can take any bus, subway, or tram with a billett. |
| En enkeltbillett, er du snill. En enkeltbillett, er du snill. En enkeltbillett, er du snill. |
| What if you want to know how much the ticket is? You could simply use this sentence: Hvor mye koster en enkeltbillett? Hvor mye koster en enkeltbillett? "How much is a single-use ticket?" |
| In case you're not traveling in Oslo, you might want to be more specific and ask for a "bus ticket." This time, the first sentences changes into En bussbillett, er du snill. Bussbillett is "bus ticket" in the indefinite accusative. En bussbillett, er du snill. |
| 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. |
