Tusen takk for hjelpsom leksjon! It's funny (or not) that mobile language apps like Duolingo or Mondly don't even cover the alphabet and these simple grammar rules.
This letter, as q, x, w and z, almost only appears in loanwords. The pronunciation differs: camping = k, Cecilie = s, cello = tj or sj. The main rule is that it is pronounced s before i, e, y and k before a, o, u. That should be added in a later video.
I've met a lot of Norwegians and watched a lot of videos in RUclips. Regarding alphabet. This is one of the best. The thing is, Norwegian natives do not understand o and å are super confusing sound to foreigners. 😂
How do you pronounce the name "Fosaaen"? At some point during World War 2, my dad, Knute, stopped off at a little town in Iowa to check on a relative. He asked at the local bar* for Mr. "Fawson" (how our branch of the family pronounces the name), but the bartender didn't know of him. A few minutes later, the bartender asked my dad if he meant Mr. "Foo-sown", or "Foo-sowen", or some such--and then gave dad the directions to the relative he was looking for. *Based on the theory that, in a small town, even if the bartender didn't know every single person in that town, he probably knew every Norwegian.
That's a fun story! The bartender's pronunciation is quite close, at least the second one: "Foo-sowen". What you write as "ow" here, like a diphthong, is just the vowel "å".
It's good and helpful. But you may find the grammar part of silent words a little hard if you are a beginner of Norwegian bokmal language. Otherwise OK.........
Thank you ! super useful, well paced and not shrill !
Tussen tak ...det er veldig klart og nyttig.

Hello, I 'm new here. Are you teaching Bokmål or Nynorsk, please?
Really really helpful 👍😃
Is this a rule that ''eg'' in the end of the word is pronunce like''æi''?
No, it only applies to a few words. The word “steg” (step), for example, is pronounced with a long /e/ and a /g/
It's good and helpful. But you may find the grammar part of silent words a little hard if you are a beginner of Norwegian bokmal language. Otherwise OK.........
Go back to your country
fascinating
nice lecturer :)
Is the "v" pronounce the same way like in English?
Not completely. The Norwegian is usually an approximant, while the English is a fricative. The difference in pronunciation here is quite slim,
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for a clear teaching style
Det var feil når du sa J si det sånn her jådd
Hei! Noen sier "jådd" for , mens andre (som meg) sier "je". Begge er like korrekte.
How about "unnskyl"
up
ignorere ....Her uttaler man g 🤨
Hei, Farhan! G uttales ofte, men ikke før j: gjøre, eller på slutten av adjektiv med ig: hyggelig. Se fra ca. 3:20 i videoen.
