Every day.  I’m getting into this theme of things we do daglig (daily).  Of course some of the things I do in my dagligliv (daily life), you do not do and some of the things you do in your dagligliv, I do not do.  However, many of the things we do in our dagligeliv (notice I didn’t add anything after ‘liv‘ to make it plural, because ‘liv‘ is a one-syllable ‘et’ noun, so it doesn’t get any suffix in the indefinite plural-Husker du?  Do you remember?)

a few other words you might like to know when you talk about the frequency in which things occur:

vanligvis-usually                           av og til-now and then                    igjen og igjen-time and again

noen ganger-sometimes             sjelden-seldom                                alltid-always

hele tiden-all the time                aldri-never                                        ofte-often                           

Hva gjør jeg ?  What do I do every day?

Jeg drikker kaffe hver dag så snart jeg våkner.  I drink coffee every day as soon as I wake up.

Hver dag spiser jeg frokost før jeg går på jobb (notice the use of inversion).  Every day I eat breakfast before I go to work.

�Jeg tar en dusj hver dag.  I take a shower every day.

Hver dag sjekker jeg eposten min.  Every day I check my email.

And on to other frequencies…

Jeg snakker med faren min ofte.  I talk to my father often.

Noen ganger liker jeg å spise pannekaker til frokost (another use of inversion).  Sometimes I like to eat pancakes for breakfast.

Jeg leser sjelden bøker.  I read books seldomly.

Av og til vasker jeg bilen min.  Now and then I wash my car.

Hun prøver alltid å være snill.  She always tries to be nice.

De reiser aldri til Europa.  They never travel to Europe.

Vanligvis løper jeg med hunden min om morgenen.  Usually I run with my dog in the morning.

Hunden min har mye energi hele tiden.  My dog has a lot of energy all the time. 

Igjen og igjen glemmer kjæresten min å slå av lysene.  Time and again my boyfriend forgets to turn the lights off.

You get the idea, right?  Just remember to invert the verb and subject when the adverb/adverbial phrase comes first.  What do you do hver dag?
