| Inger: [Normal] hyggelig [Slow] hyggelig |
| Michael: Listen again to the word meaning 'Nice to meet you.' |
| Inger: [Slow] Hyggelig. [Normal] Hyggelig. |

| Inger: [Normal] Hyggelig å møte deg. |
| Michael: First is a word meaning 'nice' |
| Inger: [Normal] hyggelig [Slow] hyggelig |
| Michael: Next is the word meaning 'to meet' |
| Inger: [Normal] å møte [Slow] å møte |
| Michael: Last is the word meaning 'you' |
| Inger: [Normal] deg [Slow] deg |
| Michael: Listen again to the formal phrase meaning 'Nice to meet you.' |

| Cultural Insight |
| Michael: Now it's time for a quick language tip. |
| Inger: While hyggelig å møte deg is slightly more formal than just hyggelig, you don't need to worry too much about which one you choose to use. If you use either one of these sentences with Norwegian people, they're definitely going to be impressed! |
