Just to confuse people trrying to learn Norwegian, many of those silent letters only aply to certain dialects. Other dialects may also have different silent letters and even ad letters that aren't there !
The usually silent t is sometimes pronounced for stylistic reasons or to speak clearly, So you can pronounce the t in "huset=the house" to emphesize. In the genitive form "husets", it is most correct to pronounce the t. . By the way, this noun is neuter, not feminine. It is always correct to pronounce all the e sounds, even though they may be dropped at certain positions in fluent speach. Norwegians never drop the e if that makes the flectional forms fall together. There must always be something left to distingwish the forms, for example a consonant or the tune. D after l amd r is pronounced in some words, like skald, hird, norden, skurd, verden, ferd.
I noticed that as well, the et nouns are neutral, while the ei nouns are the ones that are called feminine nouns in English - so, en nouns = masculine, ei nouns = feminine, et nouns = neutral nouns!
Hi! I find your videos incredibly helpful and I am so glad that you are putting them up to share with us. I am just learning out of interest and I find your videos very helpful and clear and easy to watch. Tak skal du ha'!
Thanks a million Karin, you are wonderful and generous to share with us this beautiful language. I am just a beginner, but i absolutely adore your videos! I was trying to find you on facebook and would really love to send you a postcard or something to express my gratitude toward you!
Hi Karin, I've recently chosen to learn Norwegian, and your videos are so helpful. I have a question. I noted that "D" is silent when paired with an "R" (retroflex sound), but I noticed that you when you said "hvordan", you pronounced the "D". Is there an additional rule that would apply here? Thanks again, looking forward to continuing to learn from you.
Hi Karin, I would like to point out that most silent letters are cause of something. They didn't use to be silent, but they became silent because someone changed them. The words at 2:10 for example (skynde, skyld, stund) is all dialect silenced D. Try to say the same words in nynorsk or in any western norway dialect.
In most grammar books the silent t applies to the indefinite neuter forms like et hus, huset, not the feminine forms, which mayor may not be distinguished from masculine forms according to dialect.... But I'm still confused about the whole situation...
Hei Karin! Thank you for the video, great explanation! But I'm a bit confused with that you are saying "et hus/ huset" is a feminine noun. It's neutral, isn't it?
I've only been learning Norwegian now for just under 2 months but I've already found a G letter word that I'm positive is how it is to confuse people: Hyggelig. Silent and not-silent in the same word lol
Loved your explanation, though you had me there for a moment when saying "feminine" instead of "neuter". Interestingly, I saw in the Babbel course that the *d* is always silent after l**, *r*, and *s* Does that rule hold true? Thanks a lot for your videos, and I must say _du er virkelig vakker!_
hei=) Du er så fantastisk! Eg skal begynner å prøve å lære litt norsk på min kanal og. Men då skal eg snakker på portuguisisk. Tusen takk for at du vil delle det med oss. Eg og skal lære med deg =) Ha det bra=)
Norwegian Teacher - Karin In Sogn (and other parts of Vestlandet) they pronounce land like [land], and not like [lann], like in Swedish ;) Search for the video ''Tone Damli Aaberge synger Mitt Lille land''
If you have a Mac, then just hold down the key of the vowel you want and you'll get anything you need: æ å ø, etc. If you have a PC, well, then you're screwed.
Tongue piercings change the way people speak. Interesting you're 'teaching' people how to speak your language when you have had to modify the way you speak your language to accommodate what is, in effect, a tumor on your tongue.

Krister Falch haha, yes that is so true. Infortunatly that is the downside to this lanugage ^^

Thank you so much! :D

Is one supposed speak slowly while speaking norwegian and with emphatic stresses or are you just doing this for our favor - to understand better? :)
Dheeraj Bhaskar Norwegians speak pretty fast. She's speaking slow to make it easier to understand.
Bra Jobb.
Faraz Iqbal takk!
Hello. You talk about silent D at the end of words. Does this mean for straits, land and duck? sund, land, og ei and?
mancdamtramtank Hello yup! :) All of those are silent :) There are some words this rules does not work on though...

Please someone, I need a quick fix for getting my letters (ae, a, o) in my keyboard. This is just shit.
If you have a Mac, then just hold down the key of the vowel you want and you'll get anything you need: æ å ø, etc. If you have a PC, well, then you're screwed.
V, like in "navm"
It is navn
Pronounced noun
Did you mean 'definite form NEUTER nouns' @ 5.10? I thought 'hus' was a neuter-gendered noun??
Katie Huchler Yes absolutely! This has been changed! Thank you!
Phew! I'm not going crazy!
Hey, I thought et hus/huset was neuter and not feminine. Is ei jente not feminine? I'm confuesed! Hjelp!
Do did i
