Discover the fascinating dual nature of Norwegian "skulle" and transform your understanding of this essential modal verb in the past tense! The word carries two distinct meanings that context reveals beautifully.

We'll look at the difference between when e.g mythology speaks of "Muren og havet skulle beskytte det nye landet mot jotnene" (The wall and sea were to protect the new land from the giants), vs. expressions like "Han skulle møte meg på kafeen i går", which would usually imply that it did not happen as planned. And we have many more examples!

We've also made many more Weekly Essays about "Pusse opp hjemmet" (to renovate), about "Bobil eventyr i Jotunheimen" (Campervan adventure in the national park Jotunheimen), and several new business language essays as well.

In this episode we're starting a new little series about small bits of helpful and useful expressions, that are common in everyday speech.

And a very helpful way of not repeating the whole phrase in a reponse to a question, we often say f.ex. "Yes, I can" or "Yes, I do".

Ex:

Kan du sykle? Ja, det kan jeg.

Vil du spise? Ja, det vil jeg.

Sykler du til jobben? Ja det gjør jeg.

The rule is this:

kan, vil, skal, må + er/har in the question => repeat the verb in the response.

All others verbs as question => put "gjør" in the response.

Fill-ins:

Er du glad i dag? Ja, det ... jeg.

Kan du spille gitar? Ja, det ... jeg.

Drikker du kaffe? Ja, det ... jeg.

..

Great! Well done :))

😊

In this episode we'll read further about the starving writer/artist in old Kristiania in the late 18 hundreds - and his venturing out into the streets.

In the episode we'll go through the difference bewteen "da"/"når", both meaning "when", and then helping verbs in the past tense!

In short for "when":

"Da" is for "Once in the past"

"Når" for everything else

Ex:

Da jeg var fire år.

Når man studerer. 

Hjelpeverb:

kan - kunne

vil - ville

må - måtte

skal - skulle

bør - burde

Examples:

Hun kunne ikke komme fordi hun var syk.

De skulle gå hjem før det ble mørkt.

Ole burde spille mer musikk.

Fill-ins:

Da jeg var liten, ……... jeg ikke snakke italiensk. (kan)

De ……... pakke kofferten kvelden før. (må)

..

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎇🎇🎇🎊🌟🌟 :))

A2 level of Grammar is finished!!

In this episode we'll go through some very common (and consistent) expressions with time prepositions, and these are mostly just for remembering them :)

Ex:

Han er hos legen.

Vi trener om kvelden.

Vi skal sove ute i natt.

Han spiller gitar på onsdag.

Om høsten er det fine farger.

..

Thanks for listening,

and Great Work!! 😊

In this episode we'll look at the two main ways of saying "I think" in Norwegian, with:

synes = opinion (something you have experienced)

tror = guessing/believing

Examples:

Jeg synes filmen var bra.

Jeg tror kaken er god.

Fill-ins:

Jeg har lest boka, og jeg ……... den var bra.

Jeg ……... vi har ferie i juli, men jeg er ikke sikker.

..

Great work!!

:D

View Details

In this episode we'll look at the comparative and superlative form of the adjective,

which in general is to add "-ere" and "-est".

Ex:

fin, finere, finest

varm, varmere, varmest

Fill-ins:

Han er ………. i klassen. (høy)

Jobben er ………. enn han trodde. (vanskelig)

Some exceptions:

stor, større, størst

god, bedre, best

ung, yngre, yngst

Fill-ins:

Han er ……… enn henne. (ung)

Han vil bli ……… etter sommeren. (god)

..

And in addtion, when the superlative (best, størst, finest, eldst) is used as adjective with a specific noun,

we add an "-e" at the end;

Det største huset.

Den eldste byen.

..

Excellent work,

and thanks for listening!!

😊🎉

In this episode we'll look at when to use the "sin" concept, and how to find the right ending.

  1. The endings follow the object they belong to;

Han legger sønnen sin.

Han er på øya si.

Han vasker huset sitt.

Han mister nøklene sine.

  1. The condition for using "sin" is as follows:

"If the subject is in the 3. person (he,she,they), and the object belongs to the subject, replace hans/hennes/deres with sin/si/sittt/sine! :)

  1. The two most common "traps" are;

  2. be sure what the subject is

  3. with subclauses; find subject and object again

FIll-ins:

Han reiser på tur med kona …….. (his own).

Han og kona ……. (his own) reiser på tur sammen.

Han sier at kona ……. er hjemme i dag.

..

This might be the hardest item in the grammar - but once the subject/object part is more clear, everything becomes more easy!

And,

Great work!! :D

In this episode we'll hear about the main person thinking about his efforts to get assignments as a writer and applying for work at the local Firestation.

He then ventures out into the street, and his moods changes into heightened confidence - slightly influenced by his debilitating hunger.

Jeg-personen går i denne episoden ut av huset og møter folkene i gatene.  Det er en livlig scene som fyller han med nytt mot og vi ser hvordan sulten påvirker opplevelsen og persepsjonen av livet og folkene rundt ham.

Thanks for listening,

and enjoy!

View Details

In the episode we'll expand slightly on the topic of the subclauses, and look at what happens if you start a sentence with a subclause.

The rule is this;

The subclause itself remains exactly the same as before, but afterwards you put a comma, and then the verb.

Example:

Hvis sola ikke skinner, drar vi hjem.

Hvis bussen ikke kommer, må vi løpe.

To fill in:

Hvis barna ikke er sultne, _______ (spiser - senere - vi)

Fordi han ikke var syk, _____ (de - hjem - dro)

..

Excellent work!!

😊

View Details

In Norwegian language there is a slight change in word order every time you have a subclause with an adverb.

Ex:

Det er ikke regn. (Normal sentence)

Hun sykler fordi det ikke er regn. (Subclause with "fordi")

The rule is this:

  1. subjunksjon (hvis, at, fordi.. osv.)

  2. subjekt (person/ting)

  3. adverb (ikke, ofte, sjelden, aldri etc.)

  4. verb

Fill-ins:

Marco sier ............................... (han - sykler - aldri - at).

Britt drar på ferie ............................... (hun - er - syk - ikke - hvis).

Butikken stenger ............................... (det - er - kunder - ikke - fordi).

..

Great work! :))

View Details

In this episode we'll look at how to make specific forms of the nouns with an adjective included. 

Examples:

en stor bil - den store bilen

et fint hus - det fine huset

mange snille gutter - de snille guttene

The formula is this:

den/det/de + adjective in plural form + specific form of the noun

Fill-ins:

En glad gutt - ………...

Et stort hus - ………...

Mange røde tak - ………..

Mange nye sko - ………...

Bra!

..

Also; when we talk about the different regions of a country, we use "i" or "på" like this:

i Sør-Norge

på sørlandet

...

Great work,

and thanks for listening!

Han rydder stua.

Han ryddet stua.

Han har ryddet stua.

The general rule is this: Put "har" in front, and then the simple past form - but if that ends on a vowel; cut if off..

Some exceptions:

er - var - har vært

To switch to present perfect::

Han går til tannlegen.

De er på fjelltur.

Episode 8 (of 8) from the beginning of Marcel Proust's Masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time". 

The process of falling asleep and waking up has been thoroughly detailed in these opening pages - alluding to the process of imagination, reading, the literary world and it's relationship to the real and physical world. With this opening Proust is in some ways laying the ground for a journey through 4.000 pages of life and thinking, and the gradual development of the mind from early childhood into an adult stage of life.

Vi avslutter med dette åpningen av På Sporet av den Tapte Tid, med Marcel's tanker om minner, forestillingsevnen, og forholdet mellom drømmer, litteratur - og livet. 

Takk for følget, 

thanks for listening! :)

View Details

Marcel is remembering a series of different rooms from  his childhood, from both summers and winters with joys and troubles, and how the habit is a mitigating mechanism which could help us to accept various situations and environments which we at first might react very strongly to. This points to a much bigger theme in the whole work - regarding Habit and its nature!

I denne episoden går Marcel gjennom en rekke av de værelser han har sovet i som liten gutt, og de effektene de hadde på ham. Tilslutt reflekterer han over vanens natur og hvordan man kan tilpasse seg situasjoner som først trenger enkelte tilpasninger for å bli beboelige.

Thanks for listening!

In Norwegian there are three versions of an adjective; for male/female singular, netural singular, and for the plurals.

So a word like "nice" could be "fin", "fint" or "fine".

Example:

en fin bil

et fint hus

fine kopper

Fill-ins:

en ........ (fin) kopp

et ........ (stor) eple

mange ........ (varm) votter

Great work!

😊

View Details

In Norwegian there are two forms of most adverbs like up, down, in, out, home, away etc.

One is for standing still or being in the same context, one is for moving or changing context.

Example:

Han går hjem => Han er hjemme.

De går ut => De er ute.

Fill in:

Hun går opp. Hun er .......

De kommer hit. De er .......

Great work!

:)

View Details

In Norwegian we have the helping verbs "skal, vil, kan, må" meaning "shall, will, can, must".

The general rule is this:

Helping verb + infinitve form (without the "å")

Examples:

Han spiser => Han skal spise.

Han sykler => Han må sykle.

Changing this to future (with skal):

De drar på ferie.

De går på ski i skogen.

Excellent work!!

Now you know how to use helping verbs and express the future tense!

How our mind reconstructs itself when waking up, and whirls through thousands of memories and elements before  a clear awereness of and connection to the current moment or day, is formed. 

Om hvordan prosessen når vi våkner bygger opp en forståelse av tid, sted og livssituasjon - men også gjenskaper og forsterker gamle minner som blir mere levende for oss når vi har blitt fullt våkne igjen.

A deep and detailed description of the process of waking up, and orienting ourselves through space, time, and re-finding our current identity and self, in the instances of moving from sleep to awaken condition.

I denne episoden leser vi et nytt avsnitt fra Proust med dype detaljer om å våkne opp, og prosessen bevisstheten går igjennom for å gjenkjenne sine omgivelser og rekonstruere et bilde av tid, sted, og en komposisjon av elementene som utgjør identiteten og en følelse av ens virkelige jeg.
