| Norwegian Survival Phrases. Lesson 25. |
| Riding the Norwegian Train. |
| In Oslo, riding the subway is one of the best choices you can make to get around and reach all the most important parts of the city. In this lesson, we are going to cover how to get on the subway. |
| As you have learned in the previous lessons, in Norway you can buy tickets at kiosks. This is true of the subway as well, but usually there are more conveniently-located vending machines and ticket stands right at the entrance of the subway stations. Just in case you get too confused and have to ask the station attendant, we have prepared this lesson for you! |
| Now let's go and see how to get our subway ticket. As you may remember from the previous lessons covering how to get a ticket, we can accomplish this by asking, "Excuse me, a ticket please," Which is Unnskyld, en billett er du snill. Unnskyld, en billett er du snill? |
| As you can see, the sentence hasn't changed much from the one we covered in lesson 22. |
| Therefore, you have Unnskyld ("Excuse me"), en billett ("a ticket"), and er du snill ("please"). Unnskyld, en billett er du snill. Unnskyld, en billett er du snill? |
| Our location for this lesson will be Oslo. Let's imagine you need to go from Oslo S (the central train station in Oslo) to Blindern (the main campus of the University of Oslo) and you need to ask what line you have to take to get there. |
| You can accomplish this by asking, "Excuse me, what line do I need to take for Blindern?" In Norwegian: Unnskyld, hvilken linje går til Blindern? |
| Let's see this sentence word by word. First, you have the usual unnskyld followed by hvilken, which is Norwegian for "which." Then you have linje ("line"), then går ("go") in the present tense, and finally til Blindern, which means, "to Blindern." Unnskyld, hvilken linje går til Blindern? Unnskyld, hvilken linje går til Blindern? Unnskyld, hvilken linje går til Blindern? |
| A possible answer to your question could be Ringen, or "The Ring." Ringen. Ringen. Ringen. Ring is "ring (circle)." Ring. Ring. |
| 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. |
