Daglige ord Posted by on Oct 4, 2009 in Uncategorized

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 15 ord or fraser that I think, unless you are incredibly anti-social, very ill, or mute, most people use during the course of a day.   

Hva er klokka?  What time is it? 

Jeg må gå på do.  I need to go to the bathroom.

Er du sulten ennå?  Are you hungry yet?

Hun vil ha noe å drikke.  She wants something to drink.

Mamma er trøtt og vil legge seg nå.  Mom is tired and wants to go to bed now.

Han føler seg glad i dag.  He feels happy today.

Hvordan er væretHow is the weather?

Hva sa du?  What did you say?

Hørte du at….?  Did you hear that…?

Er det allerede midnatt?  Is it already midnight?

Hvordan går det?  How’s it going?

Vi snakkes.  Talk to you later.

Hvorfor gjorde du det?  Why did you do that?

Notice that many of these ord or fraser that are necessary in expressing our human essential needs, such as going to the bathroom, eating, sleeping, and feeling.  Others are related to interacting with one another, such as asking how each other feels and questioning each other.  I would say that on any given day, I use each and every one of the 15 ord or fraser above.  Would you agree?

I attended St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN, where I majored in Norwegian and History. During college, I spent almost a year living in Oslo, Norway, where I attended the University of Oslo and completed an internship at the United States Embassy. I have worked for Concordia Language Villages as a pre-K Norwegian teacher and have taught an adult Norwegian language class. Right now, I keep up by writing this Norwegian blog for Transparent Language. Please read and share your thoughts! I will be continuing this blog from my future residence in the Norwegian arctic!
