Cooking.\u00a0 There are a few words and phrases that are important to know regarding matlaging<\/strong>.\u00a0 Let’s start with the very basics.\u00a0 Some of this will be review from previous posts, but practice is good!<\/p>\n

frokost <\/strong>is breakfast (pronounced “froo-coast)<\/p>\n

lunsj <\/strong>is lunch (pronounced “loonsh”)<\/p>\n

middag <\/strong>is supper\/dinner (pronounced “mid-dog”)<\/p>\n

kveldsmat <\/strong>is the small evening meal that many\u00a0Norwegians eat (pronounced “kvelds-mot)<\/p>\n

et m\u00e5ltid\u00a0<\/strong>is\u00a0a meal (pronounced “moal-tee” with a very soft “d” on the end)<\/p>\n

takk for maten!\u00a0 <\/strong>Thanks for the food!\u00a0 Many Norwegians say this to the host(s) after the meal.<\/p>\n

en matpakke <\/strong>is a packed lunch (very common for students and the employed<\/p>\n

en matoppskrift <\/strong>is a recipe (pronounced “mot-ohp-skrift”)<\/p>\n

en bolle <\/strong>is a bowl (pronounced “bowl-a” but say the first vowel quickly)<\/p>\n

en tallerken <\/strong>is a plate (pronounced “tall-ark-en”)<\/p>\n

en kopp <\/strong>is a cup (pronounced kind of like “cope” but say the vowel fast)<\/p>\n

et glass <\/strong>is a glass (pronounced more or less “gloss” with<\/p>\n

s\u00f8lvt\u00f8y <\/strong>is silverware (pronounced “sull-tuh-ee.”\u00a0 The “\u00f8y” sound is fairly difficult).<\/p>\n

Ok, so if I want to\u00a0lage mat <\/strong>(make food), what will I need?<\/p>\n

Chances are if I’m making dinner, I’ll need en matoppskrift <\/strong>to start with.\u00a0 And what do Norwegian recipes look like?\u00a0 Well, first of\u00a0all Norwegians, unlike Americans, use the metric system.\u00a0 So be prepared\u00a0if you don’t have a Norwegian recipe that is translated in Norwegian to translate the measurements into the metric system.\u00a0 \u00a0So you will be dealing with grams, kilograms, liters, deciliters, and definitely centigrade as a measurement of temperature.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Once you have found a good oppskrift <\/strong>and have made the proper measurement oversettelser <\/strong>(translations), you will then need to gather the ingredienser <\/strong>(surprise, surprise, ingredients).\u00a0 The next task will be\u00a0\u00e5<\/strong> lage maten<\/strong> (make the food). Perhaps you will choose \u00e5 grille<\/strong> (grill), koke <\/strong>(cook), steke (roast), or\u00a0riste<\/strong> (toast or broil, depending on the food) the food.\u00a0 Maten er ferdig!\u00a0 <\/strong>The food is\u00a0ready!\u00a0 This phrase, like takk for maten<\/strong>, is extremely common.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hva er din favoritt m\u00e5ltid \u00e5 lage<\/strong>?\u00a0 What is your favorite meal to make?\u00a0 \u00c5 spise?\u00a0 <\/strong>To eat?<\/p>\n
