| In this lesson we'll introduce you to some phrases that we hope you won't have to use. While the threat of physical violence is not prevalent, when traveling in Norway you should always be careful. Even if everyone wishes nothing bad or dangerous happens while on holiday in Norway, it's better if you know some important useful phrases to use in case of emergency. In this lesson, we'll learn how to call for help. |
| The first phrase is not limited to threatening situations but you can also use it in the unfortunate event that you or someone around you is in need of immediate assistance. |
| In Norwegian, "Help!" is Hjelp! Very easy, isn't it? It sounds almost like its English equivalent. |
| Now let's hear it again: Hjelp! Literally, this means, "Help." |
| If you need to call the police, shout, Politi! |
| Let's break it down by syllable and hear it one more time: po-li-ti! |
| Politi! |
| Literally, this means, "Police!" |
| You also want to learn to say, "Call the police!" It's Ring politi! |
| The first word, Ring means "call" (telephone), while the second word is politi, or "police." |
| Let's see the entire sentence again: Ring politi! |
| The phone number for the police in Norway is 112. You can easily call it from a public phone or a cell phone. Make sure that in an emergency you know how to ask for a public phone. |
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. |
