Fun fact:<\/em> What happens to the word REGNINGER (bills) when you read it backwards? \ud83d\ude42 Yeah, that\u2019s right: It\u2019s one of the longest palindroms<\/em>\u00a0in Norwegian\u2026<\/p><\/div>\n

Er Norge dyrt? <\/b>(Is Norway expensive?) Many people klager<\/b> (complain) about prisene<\/b> (the prices) in Norway. Nobody really complains about de h\u00f8ye l\u00f8nningene<\/b> (the high wages), though, so I guess there\u2019s some kind of balance. \ud83d\ude42 Still, if you come as a tourist, be prepared for surprises! Here are some expressions for talking about prices and payment.<\/p>\n

dyr, billig<\/b> (expensive, cheap)<\/p>\n

pris<\/b> (price)<\/p>\n

penger<\/b> (moneys \u2013 yes, it\u2019s a plural word in Norwegian\u2026)<\/p>\n

tilbud<\/b> (offer)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hvor mye koster trollet?<\/b> (How much does the troll cost?)<\/p>\n

Det koster femti kroner.<\/b> (It costs fifty Kroner.)<\/p>\n

Det er litt dyrt, synes jeg.<\/b> (It\u2019s a little bit expensive, I think.)<\/p>\n

Det er dessverre altfor dyrt.<\/b> (Unfortunately, it\u2019s far too expensive.)<\/p>\n

Jeg bare lurte p\u00e5\u2026 Har dere noe billigere?<\/b> (I was just wondering\u2026 Have you got something cheaper?)<\/p>\n

Ja, reinsdyret er til halv pris.<\/b> (Yes, the reindeer is 50% off\u2026)<\/p>\n

Kjempebillig!<\/b> (Super cheap!)<\/p>\n

Har dere andre varer p\u00e5 tilbud?<\/b> (Have you got other items on offer?)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Kan vi f\u00e5 regningen? <\/b>(Could we get the bill, [please].)<\/p>\n

Fem hundre kroner?? Kan vi ikke si tre hundre i stedet?<\/b> (Five hundred Kroner?? Couldn\u2019t we say three hundred instead?)<\/p>\n

Beklager, vi pruter ikke med prisen.<\/b> (Sorry, we don\u2019t bargain [with the price].)<\/p>\n

I Norge er det faste priser.<\/b> (In Norway there are fixed prices.)<\/p>\n

Men vi blir veldig glade for litt drikkepenger!<\/b> (But some tip [“drinking-money”] would make us really happy!)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hvor mye blir det? <\/b>(How much is it?)<\/p>\n

Det blir 235, takk. <\/b>(It\u2019s 235, please.)<\/p>\n

Tar dere MasterCard? <\/b>(Do you take MasterCard?)<\/p>\n

Ja, det g\u00e5r veldig bra<\/b>. (Yes, no problem!)<\/p>\n

Nei, vi tar desverre bare imot kontanter. <\/b>(No, unfortunately, we only take payment in cash.)<\/p>\n

Det er en minibank i Storgata. <\/b>(There is an ATM in Storgata.)<\/p>\n

Tusen takk!<\/b> (Thank you so much!)<\/p>\n

Bare hyggelig!<\/b> (Happy to help!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
