Norwegian and English have many words in common since both are Germanic
Colours cover languages. Norwegian has even closer links with Swedish and Danish and
speakers of one can understand the others quite easily. However, for historical

several hundred years until 1814 it was ruled by Denmark, which had a

m How Norwegian Works ['The forms sin, sitt, sine are part of the object, so they c_an onl~ be used ~hen •
referring to something that has already been mentloned 1n a part1cular
sentence. They are never part of the subject of a sentence and very rare~y
Things: Nouns. In Norwegian all nouns are thought of as being either common occur at the beginning of one. Sin, sitt, etc. aften mean the same as 'own' 1n
gender (c.: masculine and feminine combined) or neuter gender (n.). English, e.g. han kjører sin bil - he is drivi_ng his (own) car, _whereas ~~ns
means it belongs to someone else, e.g. han kjører hans (Pers) btl- he IS dnvmg
[The language is constantly evolving and some words are frequently used with his (Per's} car.]
the feminine article (ei= a, -a = the), but this is not obligatory and the common
articles (en = a, -en = the) may also be used.] Oo ing things: Verbs.
These are always the same, regardless of who is doing the act~on. _(D~, Deres
When talking about one thing on ly, i.e. a singular item (s.), a is en (c.) or et (n.). are the formal forms of 'you , your' now mostly replaced by du, dmldlttldme.)
For the, put en (c.) or et (n.) on the end of the word,
e.g. en katt (c.) -a eat katten - the eat to come å komme to see å se
et vindu (n.) -a window vinduet- the window l come jeg kommer l see jeg ser
(Note that when -et means 'the', -t is not pronounced : 'vin-doo-a'.) you come (s.) du kommer you see (s.) du ser
he, she comes han, hun kommer he, she sees han, hun ser
It there is more than one, i.e. plural, add -er for all genders, it comes (c./n.) den, det kommer it sees (c./n.) den, det ser
e.g. katter- cats vinduer -windows we come vi kommer we see vi ser
Monosyllabic neuter nouns, however, do not change in the plural, you come (pl.) dere kommer you see (pl.) dere ser
e.g. et hus- a house, flere hus- several houses. they come de kommer they see de ser

For the in the plural, putene on the end of the original word, to be å være to have a ha
e.g. kattene - the cats vinduene- the windows lam jeg er l have jeg har
you are (s.) du er you have (s.) du har
Describing things: Adjectives. he, sheis han, hun er he, she has han, hun har
It a noun is common gender, the adjective describing it will be too. It a noun is it is (c./n.) den, det er it has (c./n.) den, det har
neuter, or there is more than one, the ending of the adjective changes slightly, we are vi er we have vi har
e.g. en stor katt- a big eat et stort vindu- a big window you are (pl.) dere er you have (pl.) dere har
store katter- big cats store vinduer- big windows they are de er they have de har

Just to confuse the issue, it you want to say 'the big eat' etc. , you have to add to be able å kunne to have to å måtte
an extra 'the' and use the plural form of the adjective. l can jeg kan l must jeg må (nor)
Thus: den store katten -the big eat det store vinduet- the big window
de store kattene -the big cats de store vinduene -the big windows to go: use skalwith no extra verb, e.g. jeg skal til Norge -l shall go to Norway,
(Again, -t is not pronounced : 'day sto ra vin-doo-a'.) hun skal til byen - she will go into town. (Use skal for each person.) For the
future tense use skalwith the infinitive,
Little/small is the most complicated adjective: e.g. han skal komme- he will come, de skal spise- they will eat.
en liten, et lite- a little; den, det lille- the little (sing.) ; de små- the small (pl.)
to want: for 'l would like' use jeg vil gjerne plus the infinitive, e.g. jeg vil gjerne
lt's mine: Possessive adjectives. komme til Norge - l would like to come to Norway. Again, use vil for each
The word for 'my', 'your', etc. depends on whether the following word is person.
common, neuter or in the plural, e.g. min katt- my eat, mine katter- my cats,
mitt hus - my house, mine hus - my houses. (Katten min, kattene mine also Questions: simply take the basic statement and turn it round ,
mean 'my eat', 'my cats'.) e.g . du snakker engelsk- you speak English
c. n. pl. c. n. pl. snakker du engelsk?- do you speak English?
my min mitt mine our vår vårt våre
your (s.) din ditt dine your (pl.) deres deres deres Saying No: ikke= not. It usually comes after the first part of the verb ,
his hans hans hans their deres deres deres e.g. jeg snakker ikke norsk - l don't speak Norweg1an .
hers hennes hennes hennes or their· sine sine sine jeg kan ikke snakke norsk -l can't speak Norweg1an.
or his/hers· sin sitt sine
ESounds Time of Day and Greetings
We have tried to keep our transcription as simple as possible so that you can
read the questions and answers almost as if they were English. Same words God morgen/god dag
are split by a hyphen to make them easier to read and to get the stress in the goomorrn/goo daag
right place. Double consonants are both pronounced, like k in bank card or t in Good morning/good day
beat trip.

a when short is very close to o in on; long like a in father.

e short like e in met; when lang, like air but without the r.
i short, as in bit; when long , like ee in bee.
o usually oo as in moon. It can also be a short sound - bok/book sound alike.
Sometimes it resembles aw in paw, or o in hot.
u is the Scots or French u, or German i.i. Sometimes like oo in book.
y similar to short u. Make as if to say ee, then round your lips and push them
forward.
æ is an apen sound, like ai in air.
ø is like ur in fur {without the r) or uh in uh-huh.
å as in paw, or o in hot.
au is like a short e as in met, followed by oo. (It also means Ow 1)
ei like ay in say.
øy is like uh followed by ee.

g as in go .
gei, gi, gj, gy, like y in yes.
j, hj, lj, like y in yes.
k as in kid.
ki, kj, ky is the German ch as in ich. In English it is the h sound as in human ,
huge.
ng as in singer, never as in finger.
r is lightly rolled; the southwest uses a French r, produced in the throat. {om) ettermiddagen
rs is otten pronounced sh , expecially in the east. om ettamee-daagen
s,z always like s in sit, never a z sound. {in) the afternoon
sj, skj pronounced sh as in she.
sk like sk in skate, but sk with i, y, øy is pronounced sh.
Days of the week en uke/uken
en ooker/ooken
Silent consonants a/the week
d in the combinations ld, nd, rd . Usually silent after a long vowel, e.g. god, rød. mandag
g as in ig, lig. torsdag
mandaa(g)
h before j, v, e.g. hjem, hva. tawshdaa(g)
Monday
t when in 'the' e.g. huset {the house), or in det (it). Always pronounced in the Thursday
past tense of verbs, e.g. stoppet {stopped). tirsdag
v in halv (half), selv (seil), sølv {si Iver), tolv (twelve). teeshdaa(g) fredag
Tuesday fraydaa(g)

Friday
Like Swedish, Norwegian has two speech melodies or tones which are used in
combination with stress and to differentiate between some words, but these
tones are not shown in our transcription.
