  • Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
  • This is the first in a series of videos designed to explain not only how Norwegian prepositions work, but how to learn how to use them by yourself. (På) and (i) are a great place to start because they demonstrate how noun - specific Norwegian prepositions can be. Below are some useful links for those who are interested in more information.

    I'm Brazilian and I speak English fluently. I was searching in the internet about a Scandinavian language for me to learn and I compared Danish, Swedish and Norwegian so I decided to learn the last one. Your video helped me a lot because your grammar rules are a little bit similar to English and Portuguese. Thanks a lot.

    This is I think the fourth or fifth of your videos I've watched. I've really been enjoying learning about Norwegian because so many words are so tantalizingly close to the English equivalent, and the language itself is so pleasant to listen to. Thank you so much for doing these!

    værsågod yeshuaq! Here is another example of (i) used in an idiomatic prepositional phrase - sett i gang - (get started)
    Hva bør du tenke på før du (setter i gang) - What should you consider before you (get started).
    These phrases are easy to remember and once I learn them, I hear them all the time - especially on the radio. : )

    Thank you.
    Grammar can be interesting for me, but only when i already can read and understand a text/language. It certainly serves a purpose, but people have to realize it is not mandatory to learn grammar in order to learn a language.
    Thanks for all the great videos by the way!

    @Thirduncle1  12 лет назад +3

    Here's something really good to know. - When you say ( I am sure that you are *good in English ) you use ( i )
    ( Jeg er sikker på at du er * flink i engelsk )
    When you ask ( How do you say it * in English ? ) You use (på) ( Hvordan sier du det * på engelsk?
    You may think little things like this don't matter much, but when you're having a conversation it gives you a lot of confidence if you get it right. : )

    Natalia, I would recommend that you do web searches for questions you have about norwegian. Then make a bookmark folder with websites that work for you at your level. Its best to use many sources and compare the information. I don't have a favorite book myself. I just use the entire internet as my book. : )

    Thank you for such a good video , you highlighted all grammatical essentials in a sentence not only for me here Pa and I is well explained as well definite and indefinite articles . I study on my own and there is chaos in my head : D
    When I listen to Norwegians on the street, I think that it is impossible for me to eveunderstand , I don't understand anything.
    I guess it will come with time.
    All in all a great video, quite understandable.

    You do say "på sommeren" if you are saying "in the summertime" for eksempel: "Jeg reiser til Tyrkia på sommeren." - "I go to Turkey in the summertime", other than that this is just great! ill recommend it to my friends wanting lo learn norwegian :) make more!

    09:42 I think I've knacked the code :D! When you listed up the uses of "i" and "på" inside a house, I noticed all the masculine nouns use "i", while most of the neutral nouns use "på", with "i huset" being the exception. "gangen" can use both "i" and "på" despite being a masculine noun.
    I think that "i huset" is an exception because you're saying something is INSIDE of the house, not physically ON ("på") the house. "i" doesn't only mean "in", it means "inside". We say "inne i" to be more specific about the object being "inside" something.
    Example: "nøklene er inne i bilen" and "nøklene er i bilen" has the same translation which is "the keys are inside/in the car". The literal translation of "nøklene er inne i bilen" is "the keys are inside in the car", and the literal translation of "nøklene er i bilen" is "the keys are in the car". The most correct translation of "nøklene er inne i bilen" is "the keys are inside of the car", while the most correct translation of "nøklene er i bilen" is "the keys are in the car".
    The Oslo-dialect sometimes abbreviates "inne i" to "inni" which means the exact same thing. It can be compared to "you're" being the abbreviation of "you are" in English.
    And for those who don't know, masculine nouns like "gutt", which means "boy", use the article "en", while neutral nouns like "tre", which means "tree", use "et". Femenine nouns like "jente", which means "girl", use "ei", but the Oslo-dialect use "en" for both masculine and femenine nouns. That's why the Oslo dialect can say "en jente" instead of "ei jente". However it's not a set rule, so it's okay to say both "en jente" og "ei jente".
    Hope this helped!
    I'm Norwegian, in case you might ask ;). I have some difficulties with articulation so I've done some studying, though I don't actually need it.

    @dsfsdgsdsdgfsdg2812 9 лет назад

    Tror det er viktig og skille mellom direkte oversetting og betydelse. Jeg dro på jobb - dosent mean "I went out on a job" it implies that you werent going to job, but did it anyway (something like that) and Jeg skal reise til / fra dosent mean "i shall travle to / from" its more "i am travling to / from"

  • @Henoik
    @Henoik 12 лет назад

    'Å sette pris på' is very weird, because it is a verb combined of several words. Of course 'sette' is a verb, but it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the rest of the expression. 'Å sette' means 'To sit', or 'To put', or 'To place'... We have more expressions like that in our language. Example: 'Å finne på' which is a little more complicated. For example: 'Jeg fant på en lek' - 'I invented a game', 'Hvordan kunne han finne på å gjøre noe sånt?' - 'How could he do such a thing?'...

  • @GeorginaHnatiuk
    @GeorginaHnatiuk 5 лет назад

    Thanks. The ways på and i are used had always confused me. The rules for various uses were not covered in my first level norsk course, beyond telling me they meant on and to. Another two words that I struggle with are til and for, meaning to and for. There are so many confusing other ways they are used. The word som is another one, with so many meanings, like who and which. Videos on rules for til, for and som would also be helpful, too. Thanks for your help with your videos.

    • @GeorginaHnatiuk

  • @Henoik
    @Henoik 12 лет назад

    What can be good to remember is that often you would not hear 'inne i huset', but 'inni huset' ('inni' is NOT a word, so never write that on a postcard or something, are you writing any kind of text in Norwegian (by the way: 'in norwegian' means 'på norsk', not 'i norsk') you must write 'inne i'!). But these two sentences means exactly the same.

  • @heejin0303
    @heejin0303 11 лет назад

    You are so right that you make tiny mistakes and the polite Norwegians would switch to English...Apparently foreigners also have trouble practicing Dutch because the native Dutch are so fluent in English. It is not so easy to learn Norwegian when Norwegians are so good at speaking English:-)

    You really don't have to learn any of these rules if you want to learn Norwegian.
    Only learn them if you enjoy it i would say. When you progress naturally in learning a language, you will get a feeling for it, just like with your mothertongue. I've learned English this way and also Norwegian. I myself hate learning such rules and i'm not the only one i think ;) Still my English for example is fairly correct (is it? :P ).

    is that "english R" also pronounced the same way in norwegian?

    • @kraftdinner4202
      @kraftdinner4202 9 лет назад +5

      Not necessarily. This guys pronunciation is off.. The pronunciation of "R" depends on where you are in Norway (and Sweden). Oslo has a slight tap when saying "R": similar to that of the Spanish "R". If you go to Southern Norway like Kristiansand, the "R" is slightly pronounced like a French "r".
      Sweden has a significant tap on their "R" and sometimes a roll like the double "rr" in Spanish.
      I would recommend pronouncing the "r" with a slight tap because it is more standard.

    • @OndrikusMC
      @OndrikusMC 9 лет назад

      Bjørn Gryttingsodegaard Christian Arriagada The English R is also used certain places in Northern Norway. In Eastern Norwegian, you can often hear it if it's in front of a T, like in borte (away), fart (speed) and kart (map)

    • @Thirduncle1
      @Thirduncle1  8 лет назад

      +Człowiek Onomatopeja , I believe you can use either spelling. Both mean the same thing. The "g" is always silent. Another example like that would be "ga" and "gav" - meaning "gave" in English. Here's a link - no.wiktionary.org/wiki/dra
