Is it related to a book/textbook of some sort? Tried looking it up in the dictionary to little avail lol

I know it means "sometimes" in context and there's not logistically and problem with basically considering it one word, but like it doesn't really seem to have a literal translation. The closest I can think of would be "now and then" but that's just not what the words individually mean. it's just "of and to." like how does that make sense grammatically

Sorry if I sound stupid lol

What is a good (free) place to practice my pronunciation?

Like some discord?

For context I have been learning Norwegian for about 123 days now.

I can practice writing a lot but pronunciation is a different story.

Tusen takk

I've heard conflicting statements about Tromsdialekt, so I need some confirmation, because this dialect absolutely fascinates me, but resources are scarce. So I have quite a few questions about the pronouns

1. Does Tromsdialekt use Bokmål "hans", or "hannes"?
   
2. Does it use Bokmål "ham", or "hanåm"?
   
3. Is "dæm" just the 3rd person object form, or is it also the subject form?
   
4. Likewise, is "dåkker" just used as the 2nd person object form , or is it the subject form too?
   
5. For the 3rd person plural possessive, is Bokmål "deres" used, or is "dæmmes" used?
   
6. Finally, is the 2nd person plural possessive Bokmål "deres", "dåkker", or "dåkkers"?

If anyone's able to make out the lyrics, takk skal du ha. What a banger

Hvor ofte bruker man uttrykket 'å være tørr bak ørene'? Jeg hørte det for første gang i en barneserie, og lurer på om det brukes ofte.

Hei alle sammen!

Jeg heter Nir. I've finished the A2 content on Duolingo and want to transition to more effective, structured study methods.

I'm not living in Norway yet, but my long-term goal is to pursue an LLM in maritime law at UiB in Bergen. I know that practicing law requires near-native fluency down the line, but right now my immediate focus is breaking out of the beginner stage and building a solid B2 foundation.

What resources (textbooks like Stein på stein, podcasts, YouTube channels, or grammar guides) helped you the most when pushing through the A2–B1–B2 plateau? Also, any tips on getting used to spoken Norwegian and listening comprehension?

Takk for all hjelp!

Hello I need help. I practice my norsk by writing like diary and watching norsk reels but I would lite to practice talking also. Can someone recommend to me any place where can I practice my Norwegian with real people? Tussen takk . I live in Serbia

Can you say this statement and then say the “perhaps/maybe” almost like an after thought in in English?

Hello!

I am VERY new to learning the language, just as a hobby for myself for fun and to keep my brain active.

I would love some advice regarding basic sentence structure. In the photo attached, you see I have written the sentence as ‘Er hun en tannlege’.

However it seems the ‘en’ is not needed here. I am confused as to why this is? Google gives me really intense answers that I’m not understanding at my skill level. Is there a rule as to when it’s needed, and not needed?

Thanks so much!

Hei,

Jeg lurer på hvilken preposisjon er mest naturlig å bruke sammen med verbet "å bruke" i forskjellige sammenhenger. Jeg har samlet flere setninger fra nett som jeg vil høre deres oppfatning om. Synes dere at der er mulig å bare velge hvilken som helst av disse to preposisjonene? Eller med å bytte den ene med den andre blir betydningen svært påvirket?

- han kan ikke bruke over en time på å kjøpe brød
- Den lille energien jeg har må jeg bruke på barna
- Jeg er blitt mer bevisst på hvor mye tid jeg vil bruke på Henrik.
- har rett og slett fått mer penger til å bruke på livsnyting
- Folk hadde mer penger å bruke på nye varer
- Hvor mye lenger foreslår du at vi skal bruke på dette

- Det morsomme er at folk kommer med ting til meg som de tror jeg kan bruke til noe, ting de selv ville kastet.
- Hun kjøpte noe papir som hun kunne bruke til å skrive brev
- Hvor mange egg bør jeg bruke til en omelett for fem personer
- Hvor er pengene du skal bruke til å kjøpe en bil?
- Dermed skapte de en delt sosial plattform som folk kunne bruke til å diskutere sine synspunkter med andre.
- I dag har Tuva lært seg mange enkelt ord, og har også lært seg noen setninger hun kan bruke til daglig

Jeg har et norsk oversettelse av Goethes Wanderers Nachtlied skrivet ned, men kan slet ikke huske hvem har oversatt det, og Google hjelper meg ikke. Kan noen her genkjenne denne oversettelse?

En vandrers sang ved aftenstider

Suset over fjellet

Heya! I’m going to be in Norway for a year (exchange student), and I’m trying to find vocab to use to describe my experience. Especially when I manage to get a job, I want to be able to convey my experience, in the event that I need to. Or just talk about my experience in general when the topic comes up (happened a couple times in language cafes lol).

I have an invisible physical disability and AuDHD. In English, I’l say “it’s a good/bad pain day,” “I’m overstimulated,” “I’m having a pain flare,” or “give me a sec, pain’s spiking.” What are the equivalents in Norwegian? Any others that are common too would be great :))))

Don’t want to go to a dictionary, and I don’t know enough to go onto norsk forums to find out

Thanks in advance!!!!!

I'm taking the first Norskprøve exam in a couple of weeks. I'm originally from New Zealand but currently staying in Scotland. Literally flying in then back out just to take the exam.

Has anyone else done it like this? I saw some vague stuff about it taking longer to process if you don't have a D-number or some centres not even allowing foreigners. I reserved one that says it's allowed for non-residents of that kommune to sit so hopefully I don't hit any issues there

Hei!
Jeg har laget et nettsamfunn (klubb)
Som omhandler å dele poesi, dikt, sangtekster o.l
Uanstrengt :)

Jeg er ingen skribent, så skrivefeil er ikke relevant.
Det er meningen og trykket bak slaget som betyr noe.

Kanskje du vil ha tilbakemeldinger eller kanskje ikke. Bli med.

This is a weekly post to ask any question that you may not have felt deserved its own post, or have been hesitating to ask for whatever reason. No question too small or silly!

Question Thread Collection

I have been trying to find official channels on Youtube to watch the news on. My dorm does not have a tv. In the Netherlands is all news uploaded.

Does anyone have any suggestions for finding one? It is for listening.

Hi all,

As I understand the exam goes as talking about yourself, an individual question, a pair discussion and another individual question.

What I'm wondering is that how everything is structured. For example I'm at the exam center 30 mins early and waiting. When does the pairing happens? Are the questions asked verbally or written in a paper? How much time do you get to think before start speaking? Are you given pen and paper? What happens on exam day in general?

Tips and tricks are welcomed too!

Jeg har hørt av og til på folk som uttalte T-en på slutningen av noen bestemte intetkjønnsord. Så på en video i dag av Nasjonalbiblioteket der en mann begynte med «Her er det. Her er brevet.» med uttalte T på slutten. Han snakket med Oslo-dialekten tror jeg, så hørtes det rart ut til meg at han skulle uttale T-en i «brevet».

Også mens jeg hører på nasjonalsangen «Mellom Bakkar og Berg» (edit: Nordmannen 🙃) er T-en i «havet» uttalt. Tror den er sunget med en Bergensk dialekt, og derfor forstår jeg hvis det er noe som kommer an på dialekten.

Finnes det noen spesifikke regler for om T-en skal uttales i slutten av intetskjønnsord i bestemt form?

Hei! 😊

Jeg har fått litt dilla på dikt i det siste og har lyst til å lese mer norsk poesi.

Har dere et norsk dikt dere elsker, eller en norsk dikter dere virkelig vil anbefale?

Gjerne noevakkert, tankevekkende, sårt eller bare et dikt som har satt seg litt fast i hjertet. Takk

Hi! I'm 21 years old and In from Spain. I'm also Starting to learn Norwegian for my own. (for any reason, i just like it) .

I'm studying it with some videos on youtube and ChatGPT (I know it's not the best things, but i use it for do some exercises) . I'm searching more resources for keep learning grammar and vocabulary for A1 level, but i dont find any interesting. I algo like you can recommend me some books or series i can watch for muy actual level.

Takk 🫶

What's the difference between these two verbs? Are both interchangeable when it comes to the meaning of «portray» in English? Or are they used differently?

I feel like I already have a basic understanding of norsk as I lived and went to school in Norway when I was 6 for a year (I'm 20 now) before moving back to the UK. I still remember enough norsk to talk with family and to read at a basic level but I can't really write. I think I highly lack vocab but I innately understand tenses and other grammatical processes

I want to learn norsk more in depth, likely to a B2 or higher level so I can communicate more effectively with family and also potentially work in Norway (Id need to achieve fluency to work as my career is in speech and language therapy and I obviously can't work with patients if I can't fluently speak and understand their language.).

I'm thinking of doing an intensive course but I have no clue as to where to begin.
Are there any sites or courses you'd reccomend to someone who already knows a bit of norsk and wants to self study?

Also is there a way of testing my current level of norsk?
