\"\"We can\u2019t be talking about grammar and pronunciation all the time \u2013 let\u2019s get down to the essential stuff: f\u00f8lelser<\/strong><\/span> (feelings, say \u2019FURLsor\u2019).<\/p>\n

If someone makes you smile or even laugh, you may describe your mood by the words<\/p>\n

Jeg er glad<\/span>!<\/strong> [yaah glath] I\u2019m happy!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If you\u2019re happy at a more profound level \u2013 like you\u2019re happy with your life \u2013 you may say<\/p>\n

Jeg er lykkelig.<\/strong> [yaah LURK-eh-lee] I\u2019m happy\/fortunate. (It\u2019s the same word as English \u2019lucky\u2019!)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If someone makes you feel angry and sad, on the other hand, the best words to use may be<\/p>\n

Jeg er sur<\/span> (p\u00e5 dig)<\/span>.<\/strong> [yaah soor paw dy<\/span>] I\u2019m cross (with you)<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If it\u2019s even worse \u2013 you want to pick the nearest bottle and throw it at your conversational partner \u2013 say<\/p>\n

Jeg er vred (p\u00e5 dig)<\/span>.<\/strong> [yaah vreth paw dy<\/span>] I\u2019m angry (with you)<\/span>.
\nJeg er rasende (p\u00e5 dig)<\/span>.<\/strong> [yaah RAHsneh paw dy<\/span>] I\u2019m furious (with you)<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

(But don\u2019t throw that bottle!)<\/p>\n

But hey! The other person is cowering! Did you give him too much sk\u00e6ldud<\/strong> [skelOOTH] (scolding)?<\/p>\n

Hvordan har du det?<\/strong> [VOdan har doo deh] How are you?
\nEr du bange?<\/strong> [ah doo BANG] Are you afraid?
\nEr du ked af det?<\/strong> [ah doo KETH ah deh] Are you sad?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Perhaps he\u2019s just ligeglad<\/strong> [LEEHglath] (indifferent). Or jaloux<\/strong> [shalOO] (jealous). Or nerv\u00f8s<\/strong> [nare-VURS] (nervous). Or hemmeligt forelsket<\/strong> [HEMleet forELSketh] (secretly in love). Or maybe he keder sig<\/strong> [KETHor sy] (bores himself, is bored).<\/p>\n

Anyway, it might be a good idea not to exclaim strong declarations like<\/p>\n

Jeg elsker dig!<\/strong> [yah ELSkor dy] I love you<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

or<\/p>\n

Jeg hader dig!<\/strong> [yah HATHor dy] I hate you<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He might just end up feeling forvirret<\/strong> [forVEEoth] (confused) or ulykkelig<\/strong> [ooLURK-eh-lee] (sad, brokenhearted). I\u2019d take a chance on<\/p>\n

Skal vi snakke om det?<\/strong><\/span> [skal vee SNARK-eh om deh] Wanna talk about it?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
