Daglige ord Posted by kari on Oct 4, 2009
Daily words. There are certain ord (words) or fraser (phrases) that you will most likely use throughout the course of a day. Some of these are also ord that are nearly imerative while traveling in a country in which most people do not speak your language, but let’s pretend we are natives. I am going to list…
Prepososjoner-part II Posted by kari on Oct 2, 2009
Prepositions part II. In the last post, I gave you example sentences that used preposisjoner to describe location. I used subjects that one finds i (in), på (on), under (under), over (over), mellom (between), ved siden av (next to), bak (behind), foran (in front of)…things in and around a house.

preposisjoner i bruk Posted by kari on Sep 27, 2009
prepositions in use. That’s what we’re going to go over today. In the last post I explained the role of a preposisjon and gave many eksempler.

For example, he preferred the sentence “During the Holocaust, perpetrators murdered over 6 million Jews” to…

På restaurant means ‘at a restaurant’ (however you do not need to use ‘a’-in Norwegian there are many phrases that alow you to leave the article out i.e. på kino, på tur, på konsert). I must confess that due to the cost of eating out in Norway, I have not dined in very many Norwegian…
svinekjøtt Posted by kari on Aug 14, 2009
pork. pig meat. Growing up I used to really dislike it (parents made really fatty, dried out pork chops-svinekoteletter and other poorly made pork), but now that I live with a hog farmer (grisebonde) who loves to barbecue and grill (do you know the difference?) and makes amazing food, I love pork! Jeg elsker svinekjøtt! And…
