Modes of transportation.\u00a0 Definitely something you want to know how to talk about when you are preparing to travel to another country.\u00a0 In Norway, you’ll want to know about biler <\/strong>(cars), busser <\/strong>(busses), tog <\/strong>(trains), trikken <\/strong>(the trolley), tbanen <\/strong>(the subway), ferger <\/strong>(ferries), og mer <\/strong>(and more).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0You will want to know how to get to the nearest bus stop, what time the train leaves, when the ferry arrives, how much it costs to take a taxi, etc.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Norway has a stellar public transportation system (which I have described in an earlier post).\u00a0 I remember the first time I was in Norway, my father and I took a train from Oslo to Bergen, then\u00a0took the Hurtigrute <\/strong>(the big cruise ship-also described in an earlier post) up to \u00c5lesund, where we were on a mission to find long lost relatives.\u00a0 We took a bus to get to our hotel,\u00a0from where\u00a0the lady working at the hotel\u00a0(which actually had a grass roof that goats would enjoy “mowing”) offered to drive us to our relatives’ farm (because she knew them, and everyone else in the area).\u00a0 So, we got exactly where we wanted to go using a handful transportmidler.\u00a0 <\/strong>Needless to say, it was pretty cool.<\/p>\n

And now, some phrases that you will for sure want to learn (and keep in mind I have not translated them all\u00a0literally, but rather they way you would really say them):<\/p>\n

Hvor lang tid tar det \u00e5 kj\u00f8re fra Oslo til Lillehammer <\/strong>(and of course replace the place names with whichever ones you are dealing with)?\u00a0 — How long does it take to drive from Oslo to Lillehammer?<\/p>\n

Er det fortere \u00e5 kj\u00f8re bil eller ta bussen?<\/strong>\u00a0 Is it faster to drive a car or take the bus?<\/p>\n

Stopper tbanen p\u00e5 Nasjonalteateret?<\/strong>\u00a0 Does the tbane stop at the National Theater?<\/p>\n

These are just a few phrases that you may want to get comfortable with before you travel to Norway.\u00a0 You can get what you want in English the majority of the time, but it’s more fun to practice your norsk<\/strong>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
