<\/strong> Synet, lukten, smaken, f\u00f8lelsen, opplevelsen\u2026 Norske vafler!\u00a0 <\/strong>[The sight, the smell, the taste, the feeling, the experience\u2026 Norwegian waffles!]\u00a0(Photo courtesy of tmorkemo at Flickr<\/a>, CC License.)<\/p><\/div>\n

In order to learn Norwegian you need too keep both \u00f8rer<\/b> (ears) and \u00f8yne <\/b>(eyes) open. To get the full cultural experience, however, you have to use alle de fem sansene dine<\/b> (all of your five senses)\u2026<\/p>\n

H\u00f8resans<\/b> (sense of hearing) or h\u00f8rsel<\/b>. H\u00f8rer du hva jeg sier? <\/b>(Do you hear what I\u2019m saying?) Unless you\u2019re d\u00f8v<\/b> (deaf) or tungh\u00f8rt<\/b> (\u201dheavily-heard\u201d \u2013 having a bad sense of hearing), my best guess would be that your \u00f8rer <\/b>are perfectly fine. You can continue reading without h\u00f8reapparat<\/b> (hearing aid). \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Synssans<\/b> (sense of syn<\/b> \u2013 sight). People who aren\u2019t blind<\/b> [blinn] use \u00f8ynene<\/b> to se<\/b> [seh] (see). Some need the help of briller<\/b> (glasses) or kontaktlinser<\/b> (contact lenses). As the wordplay goes: Det var en gang en sebra som ikke kunne se bra. S\u00e5 gikk den til en sebra som kunne se bra. S\u00e5 l\u00e6rte den av den sebra som kunne se bra, \u00e5 se bra. <\/b>(There once was a zebra who couldn\u2019t see well. Then it went to a zebra who could see well. Then it learnt from the zebra who could see well, to see well.)<\/p>\n

Luktesans<\/b> (sense of smell). One of the worst things about \u00e5 v\u00e6re forkj\u00f8lt<\/b> (having a cold) is the nedsatt luktesans<\/b> (reduced sense of smell) you get. Nesen liker \u00e5 lukte alle luktene og duftene i verden. <\/b>(The nose likes to smell all the smells and scents in the world \u2013 well, most of them! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 <\/span>)<\/p>\n

Smakssans<\/b> (sense of taste). Tunge\/n<\/b> (the tongue) isn\u2019t only useful when having fun with tongue twisters, but also in alien encounters with nice Norwegian mat<\/b> (food). Smaker m\u00e5ltidet s\u00f8tt, surt, salt, bittert \u2013 eller som kylling? <\/b>(Does the meal taste sweet, sour, salty, bitter \u2013 or like chicken?)<\/p>\n

F\u00f8lesans<\/b> (sense of touch). The moment den f\u00f8rste sn\u00f8en faller<\/b> (the first snow is falling) you know how lucky you are to be able to kjenne<\/b> (feel, sense) sn\u00f8fnuggene<\/b> (the snow flakes) as they melt against your face. It\u2019s also nice to f\u00f8le<\/b> (feel) sommersola<\/b> (the summer sun) and the warmth and comfort of a klem<\/b> (hug).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
