Changed pronunciation of morgen(en) to make the g silent (/må:ren/). Please wait a minute (no direct translation) [b]...litt[/b] "...a little" [b]...et øyeblikk[/b] "...a moment" Another usefull phrase came to my mind, I can come when you want [b]Jeg kan komme når De vil[/b] English speakers look to the previous hour when constructing a sentence to tell the time "it is eight thirty" while Norwegians look to the next hour when constructing a sentence to tell the time "it is half (to) nine". [quote]Either Klokken or Klokka may be used in Norwegian. Klokken is a more conservative form though. The only important thing to remember about these forms (and bokmål has quite a few of them) is to be consistant in your choice: If you use klokken, you should use boken (the book) If you use klokka, you should use boka [i]--Kellendil[/i] [/quote] 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. | |

| - I don't know the exact purpose of this, to teach norwegian pronounciation, or to teach useful norwegian phrases, or both. There are alot of sentences in this post that would sound very strange to norwegians though. Like this: [quote] I will be there in five minutes Jeg skal komme om fem minutter /YAI SKAHL KOOM-MEH OOM FEHM MEENEWT-TEHR/ [/quote] No norwegian would ever say it like that, what we would say would be something like this: Jeg kommer om fem minutter /YAI KOOM-MEH-AR OOM FEHM MEENEWT-TEHR/ -Kellendil | |

| - [quote][i]Originally posted by Kellendil[/i] I don't know the exact purpose of this, to teach norwegian pronounciation, or to teach useful norwegian phrases, or both.[/quote] A little bit of both. The original idea is to capture the students interest and get them practicing the language enough so that they start to have fun with the language and start associating the feeling of fun with the language so they are motivated to take the learning to the next step and get serious about learning to both speak and write it very well. I am at a disadvantage to not having enough direct exposure to catch all the "nuances" of constructing the same senences that would be spoken on the streets in a typical Norwegian town or city. This is where people like you come in, and I really cherish the help you can provide for us. [quote] There are alot of sentences in this post that would sound very strange to norwegians though.

I will try to get the changes up before I leave for Australia. | |
