| Norwegian Survival Phrases. Lesson 4. |
| Basic Norwegian Greetings. |
| In this lesson we'll cover basic greetings for the appropriate time of the day. As there are quite a few to cover, let's jump right in. |
| We're going to start with the more formal ones |
| In Norwegian, "Good Morning" is God Morgen. God morgen. Let's break it down by syllables: god morgen. Now let's hear it once again: god morgen. The first word, God means, "good." Let's say the word slowly now: god. and, god. Morgen, follows this; which in Norwegian is "morning," . God Morgen. God morgen. And god morgen. |
| In Norwegian, "Good day" is God dag. God dag. Let's break it down by syllable: God dag. Now let's hear it once again: god dag. The second word dag means, "day." Let's hear it one more time: dag. Dag |
| In Norwegian, "Good afternoon" is God aften. God aften. Lets break it down by syllable. god aften. Now lets hear it oncer again: god aften. The second word aften means, "afternoon." Let's hear it one more time: aften. Aften. In Norwegian this is actually an evening greeting. |
| Finally, we have two other evening greetings in Norwegian, one to use when you arrive and one when you leave. When you arrive, you should say God kveld. God kveld. Let's break it down by syllable: god kveld. God kveld. The first word god, as we've already mentioned, means, "good." The second word, kveld, means "evening." Upon leaving you have to say, god natt. God natt. God natt. Now Lets hear it once again: god natt. Natt in Norwegian is "night." God natt. God natt. |
| You can use all of these in formal situations or with strangers. You can say God Morgen ("Good morning") and God natt ("Good night") with your friends too. |
| Let's take a look at two ways of greeting your friends now. The most common word is Hei. Hei. Hei. which in English is "hi." It doesn't matter in Norwegian which one you prefer to use. There is one more greeting in Norwegian, it also closely resembles English. Hallo ("hello"). let's hear it again: hallo. Hallo. Hallo. |
| 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. |
