Lesson focus |
|---|
| In Norway, there are many delicious dishes! We've already covered how to order them but now it's time to learn how to eat them! However, that is not always so straightforward. In this lesson, we'll learn how to ask, "How do you eat this?" |
| In Norwegian, "How do you eat this?" is: Hvordan spiser man dette? |
| Let's break it down by syllable: Hvor-dan spi-ser man det-te? |
| Now let's hear it once again: Hvordan spiser man dette? |
| The first word, Hvordan means, "how." |
| Then we have: spiser, which means, "eat". |
| Let's hear it one more time: spiser. |
| Then you have man, which means, "one." |
| man. |
| The last word should be familiar, dette means "this." |
| Literally this means, "How to eat this?" |
| Now, while most of the Norwegian dishes are quite straightforward, homemade cooking can get you more complicated dishes. Use when in doubt, Hvordan spiser man dette? |
| Finally, we will talk about something that may come in handy for vegetarians, or people who don't like meat. Norwegian cuisine is known for being meaty. While it's usually easy to find vegetarian food it can sometimes be practical to know how to ask for it. |
| The question "Do you have vegetarian food?" in Norwegian is: Har dere vegetarmat? |
| The first words, Har dere mean, "Do you have." |
| Let's hear it one more time: Har dere. |
| Next, we have vegetarmat, which in English is "vegetarian food." ve-ge-tar-mat. |
| vegetarmat |
| All together, we have: Har dere vegetarmat? ("Do you have vegetarian food?") |
Outro |
| Okay, to close out today's lesson, we'd like for you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer; so, Så lykke til, which means "good luck" in Norwegian. |
| "How do you eat this?" - Hvordan spiser man dette? |

| "Do you have vegetarian food?" - Har dere vegetarmat? |
