I started thinking about all the ord <\/strong>(words) and fraser <\/strong>(phrases) I use daglig<\/strong> (daily) and came up with a list that I think would be useful for those learning norsk<\/strong>. \u00a0Some of them are hilsener <\/strong>(greetings), some are uttrykker<\/strong> (expressions).<\/p>\n

den e god<\/strong> — sounds good (literally \u00b4that is good\u00b4). \u00a0One says this often on the phone as a way to say ha det <\/strong>(goodbye) after someone says something like, \u00b4see you at 5 o\u00b4clock\u00b4or perhaps to your boss when he-she tells you what your tasks are at work tomorrow. \u00a0Den e god<\/strong> is used in many different circumstances. \u00a0I have to admit I don\u00b4t hear it much outside of northern Norway, so it\u00b4s possible it is used more in that area of the country. \u00a0And for that matter, a lot of these fraser<\/strong> are written in nord-norsk <\/strong>and therefore are used more up there.<\/p>\n

ka du styre med?<\/strong> what are you doing?\u00a0 in bokm\u00e5l<\/strong>–hva styrer du med?<\/strong> Notice the word order in the sentence.\u00a0 In bokm\u00e5l<\/strong>, the verb comes second in the sentence when asking a question and in nord-norsk<\/strong> the pronoun comes second and the verb third.\u00a0 Also in nord-norsk<\/strong> the verb in present tense doesn’t take the ‘r’ at the end like bokm\u00e5l<\/strong> does in question sentences.<\/p>\n

da h\u00f8res vi<\/strong>-loose translation would be ‘then we’ll talk later’ although h\u00f8re<\/strong> means ‘hear’<\/p>\n

at<\/span> det g\u00e5r an!<\/strong> That<\/span> this is happening\/is possible!\u00a0 This sentence is used when one is shocked about something.<\/p>\n

har du h\u00f8rt<\/strong>?\u00a0 literally ‘have you heard?!’ is used when someone says something that you are taken aback by.<\/p>\n

takk for sist<\/strong>-literally means ‘thanks for last’ but really translates to ‘good to see you again’<\/p>\n

s\u00e5nn e det bare<\/strong>-‘it’s just like that’ similar to ‘such is life’<\/p>\n

kos deg<\/strong>!\u00a0 enjoy yourself\/have fun!<\/p>\n

stemmer det<\/strong>-makes sense<\/p>\n

s\u00e5 klart\/klart det<\/strong>-true\/clear\/that is clear, kind of like ‘obviously’<\/p>\n

s\u00e5pass<\/strong>-like that<\/p>\n

There are many other ord og fraser<\/strong> that I use on a daily basis, but these are some of the most used.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
