| Norwegian Survival Phrases. Lesson 23. |
| Riding the Norwegian Bus: Long-Distance Trips |
| In the previous lesson, we covered how to get bus tickets in cities. You also might want to move between cities, and Norway's convenient and relatively punctual coach service is perfect for that. So let's see how you do that now. The sentence you use will be, En billett til ..., er du snill. En billett til ..., er du snill. En billett til ..., er du snill. |
| We've covered all these words in previous lessons already, except for the little suffix that you have to attach to a noun to get something like "to...". |
| So, saying til Oslo means "to Oslo." |
| Let's imagine now that you are in Oslo and you have to go to Tønsberg, a city south of Oslo. What would you ask the bus driver? Hvor mye er det til Tønsberg? Hvor mye er det til Tønsberg?Hvor mye er det til Tønsberg? "How much is it to Tønsberg?" |
| Imagine that you are visiting for the first time. You have no idea of the distances between your favorite destinations, and you need to ask the bus driver how long the bus takes. You have no idea of the distances between your favorite destinations, and you need to ask the bus driver how long the bus takes. Hvor langt er det til Tønsberg? Hvor langt is "How far" and er det means, "is it." Let's hear that again: Hvor langt er det til Tønsberg? Hvor langt er det til Tønsberg? Hvor langt er det til Tønsberg? |
| You might hear the answer To Timer. It means "two hours," but I'm sure that by now you're all familiar with numbers in Norwegian. Let's hear that again: to timer, to timer. |
| 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. |
| I want a ticket to Tønsberg. |
| En billett til Tønsberg, er du snill. |
