H\u00f8sten er p\u00e5 vei!<\/strong> (Autumn is on its way!) Before you reach for your pledd<\/strong> (blankets) and fjernkontroll<\/strong> (remote), here\u2019s a reminder to keep moving\u2026<\/p>\n

Vi kan bevege oss p\u00e5 mange ulike m\u00e5ter.<\/strong> (We can move in many different ways.) Legs and feet make it possible \u00e5 g\u00e5, \u00e5 l\u00f8pe, \u00e5 hoppe, \u00e5 sparke<\/strong> (to walk, to run, to jump, to kick). Some special varieties include:<\/p>\n

De vandret i dagevis<\/strong> (They walked for days)
\nKatten springer [sprang \u2013 har sprunget] ut av vinduet <\/strong>(The cat jumps [jumped \u2013 has jumped] out the window)
\nJentene hinket i friminuttet<\/strong> (The girls were hopping on one foot in the school break)
\nJeg snublet p\u00e5 vei inn i rommet<\/strong> (I stumbled on my way into the room)
\nVi lister oss s\u00e5 stilt p\u00e5 t\u00e5 n\u00e5r vi skal ut og r\u00f8ve<\/strong> (\u201dWe\u2019re tiptoeing so quietly when we\u2019re about to rob\u201d \u2013 the robbers\u2019 song<\/a> from the Norwegian children\u2019s classic Folk og r\u00f8vere i Kardemomme by<\/strong>, \u201dPeople and Robbers in Kardemomme Town\u201d, by Thorbj\u00f8rn Egner)<\/p>\n

Arms and hands further enable us \u00e5 gripe, \u00e5 l\u00f8fte, \u00e5 b\u00e6re, \u00e5 klatre, \u00e5 sv\u00f8mme, \u00e5 gi noen en klem<\/strong> (to catch, to lift, to carry, to climb, to swim, to give somebody a hug):
\nKongefamilien vinker fra balkongen.<\/strong> (The royal family is waving from the balcony.)
\nHun veivet med armene. <\/strong>(She was waving her arms.)
\nDe knipset til musikken.<\/strong> (They were snapping their fingers to the music.)
\nVi klapper i hendene! <\/strong>(We\u2019re clapping our hands! \u2013 a line from the song O jul med din glede, \u201d<\/strong>Oh Christmas with Your Joy\u201d)<\/p>\n

Of course there are countless other ways to move, but for bevegelser<\/strong> (movements) excluding our legs\/feet and arms\/hands, the vocabulary is more limited. We may trekke p\u00e5 skuldrene<\/strong> (shrug our shoulders), nikke<\/strong> (nod), riste p\u00e5 hodet<\/strong> (shake our head), rynke pannen <\/strong>(knit our brows), puste inn og ut<\/strong> (breathe in and out), skyte rygg som en katt<\/strong> (arch our backs like a cat), vrikke med hoftene<\/strong> (wiggle our hips). If you can\u2019t plystre<\/strong> (whistle) or vifte med \u00f8rene<\/strong> (wiggle your ears), you can always gjespe<\/strong> (yawn) or geipe<\/strong> [yipeh] (stick out your tongue).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
