5) Det er en liten forskjell, men det er ikke så lett å høre det! Many Norwegians just say "skj" now and linguists think the kj- sound will disappear eventually. It's no longer considered a mistake if Norwegians (or foreigners) say skj instead of kj.

@@norwegianteacheridafjeld I thought that’s what you’d say; but there is some troll in me that demands different sounds when reading diphthongs and digraphs. I will strive to make the cat-hissing sound with kj because my troll is yelling at me that skj is different from kj :)

Cat- hissing is the right way to describe the kj- sound😂 maybe there's a hope it will survive then!

4) V1 - V4 are regular verb groups. Group 3: -d = past simple, har -de = present perfect. Group 4: -dde = past simple, har -dd = present perfect. You have to use this when a verb belongs to one of these groups and you want to use the past simple or present perfect tense. The regular verb system in Norwegian is a bit more complex than the English one, so it's important to check the conjugation when you want to use a new verb.

@@norwegianteacheridafjeld I don’t think I expressed my question correctly, but let me check my understanding. I think what I was trying to say is I don’t know why the particular verbs in your lesson end in that way, but I do understand there are different conjugations of verbs that are signified by different verb endings. The various verb endings that you demonstrate are probably not intuitive, so they must be learned when the new verb is added to my vocabulary. Sort of like not knowing a noun’s gender with a new word… you simply need to reference a dictionary to learn the gender and remember it.

Yes, that's correct - they must be learned just like a noun's gender!

3) The way you pronounce it is also correct!

@@norwegianteacheridafjeld Yesterday I added a reply that included a link to an app. It is not showing now, so perhaps I violated some TH-cam rule about links. Or maybe you preferred it to not be here, and if so, I’m fine with any decision you made, of course. I wanted to share it because I know you have students, and it was an interesting thing for me to use for myself as a student. The app is called Radio Garden Live and you can listen to any radio station around the world. I like to listen to NRK P2 in Oslo because it’s normal-spoken Norwegian and mostly talk radio… and it’s good practice for active listening, so I thought maybe you could share that with your students as it was shared with me. I do not have any sort of affiliation for compensation for that app.

Hei! Ja, selvfølgelig! 1) We use the terms weak and strong verbs, but we can also use regelrette (regular) og uregelrette (irregular) verb. It means the same. 2) The endings of verbs never relate to the subject in Norwegian:) -et/-a = past simple, and har -et/a = present perfect

@stevenjohnson7086 Maybe not, the pronunciation depends on the region. [joːɽe] or [joːre] - with retroflex or a normal r are both correct for example.

I am uncertain how to express or understand sounds expressed using the IPA chart at this point, but I understand it’s importance. I would say I pronounce gjorde with GJ sound making an English J sound, but slightly softer… But when I hear your pronunciation it has more of an English Y sound.

Yes, you're right. It's more like an English Y sound:)

@@norwegianteacheridafjeld Is that the rule for GJ then? I understand the idea behind diphthongs and digraphs.

Ha! I just remembered I pronounce gjerne correctly… YARN-uh Not sure why I was pronouncing JORD-uh like that 😂

@jasontatane Which subjects are you interested in?

@@norwegianteacheridafjeld movies, dirt bike, drawing, and Travels!

Yes🙌

Bare hyggelig! Så moro å høre at du synes det var nyttig! :) Ja, jeg synes også at det er lettere å konsentrere seg uten tekst. Jeg bruker det bare når jeg spiser potetgull og ikke hører hva de sier:)

❤️

😂😂

Riktig!🤩

Tusen takk, bro!❤️

@@norwegianteacheridafjeld ❤️

@DAVID1986 Hei! Tusen takk! Excellent question. "Sk" is only pronounced as "sh" when a "j", "i" or "y" comes right after it. So skj-, ski- and sky- words are pronounced as "sh". Other words with "sk", like "skog, skal, skulle" etc., are pronounced as "sk".

@@norwegianteacheridafjeld Thank you for your time. What about the word skipperskjøne!!!!!

Ingen årsak! Skipperskjønn = [shippershønn] :)

@@norwegianteacheridafjeld "When I listen to Google Translator, I hear only one [Sh], and the pronunciation is like [skippershønn]. That's why I am confused!"

I think Google translator confuses the words "skipper" [shipper] (captain of a ship) with the English loanword "å skippe" [å skippe] (to skip). At least that's my theory! For the loanword we use the English pronunciation, so it's an exception of the rule. "Skipperskjønn" should be with two sh-sounds because "skipper" means captain in that word, not skip. Here is a link to NAOB, a dictionary I use: naob.no/ordbok/skippe, naob.no/ordbok/skipper, naob.no/ordbok/skipperskj%C3%B8nn

Du må bli med på ferie dit en gang!😍

😮😮😮😂😂😂😂

Hi Janette! We have two groups. One with words who start with "kj , ki, ky, tj", and the other with words who start with "sj,skj,ski,sky" and also words containing "rs" (like først, tørst etc.). Hope this helped you :)

@@norwegianteacheridafjeld takk! So it is then only two shh sounds? That makes it easier 😊

@@janettewilson5120 Yes, luckily! In the future, we´ll probably just use the second sound (the one we use for "sj,skj,ski,sky"). In some places, people don´t use the first sound anymore :)

@@norwegianteacheridafjeld My manager told me that. He’s against it 😂.
