Do you have a light? Can I have a cigarete? Is this a non-smoking section? May I have an ashtray? [b][u]Notes:[/u][/b] When starting out you will frequently notice that the letters d, g, and h are often silent in Norwegian: [b]Land[/b] (English meaning: Land) [Phonetic: /LAHN/] [b]Viktig[/b] (English meaning: Important) [Phonetic: /VEEK-TEE/, to my ear the K is rather soft and I sometimes hear it as if it is /VEEG-TEE/] [b]Hva[/b] (English menaing: What) [Phonetic: /VAH/] Each vowel [b](a, e, i, o, u, y, æ, ø, å)[/b] in a stressed syllable is either long (about three times longer than you are in the habit of holding it) or very short. | |
