| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Jasmine: Let’s use these numbers a little. Let’s talk about prices in Norway. |
| Philip: Okay let’s take the 2012 currency rate where USD1 is roughly equivalent to 6 Norwegian kroner. Prices in Norway do vary a lot. It depends where you are and what you eat. |
| Jasmine: What’s the price of an average meal in Oslo? What about very nice meal in Oslo? |
| Philip: Well Oslo is not the cheapest city in Norway especially at the tourist spots but you can get full for about 40 to 100 Norwegian Krone. |
| Jasmine: Which is roughly USD7 to USD17. What about very nice meal? |
| Philip: Oh, the price will jump up to above 500 krone which would be something like a full course. |
| Jasmine: Wow! That’s about USD90. The food must be really good there. |
| Philip: But for an average Norwegian meal or my absolute favorite fiskesuppe USD20 should be enough. |
| Jasmine: So how would you say those prices in Norwegian Philip? |
| VOCAB LIST |
| Philip: Well let’s take a look at the vocab. |
| Jasmine: First we have |
| Philip: Ett hundre. |
| Jasmine: 100 |
| Philip: Ett hundre. Ett hundre. |
| Jasmine: And then we have |
| Philip: To hundre. To hundre. |
| Jasmine: 200 |
| Philip: To hundre. To hundre. |
| Jasmine: Next is |
| Philip: Tre hundre. |
| Jasmine: 300 |
| Philip: Tre hundre. Tre hundre. |
| Jasmine: Then we have |
| Philip: Fire hundre. |
| Jasmine: 400 |
| Philip: Fire hundre. Fire hundre. |
| Jasmine: Our next word is |
| Philip: Fem hundre. |
| Jasmine: 500 |
| Philip: Fem hundre. Fem hundre. |
| Jasmine: Next is |
| Philip: Seks hundre. |
| Jasmine: 600 |
| Philip: Seks hundre. Seks hundre. |
| Jasmine: Then we have |
| Philip: Syv hundre. |
| Jasmine: 700 |
| Philip: Syv. hundre. Syv hundre. |
| Jasmine: The next word is |
| Philip: Åtte hundre. |
| Jasmine: 800 |
| Philip: Åtte hundre. Åtte hundre. |
| Jasmine: Then there is |
| Philip: Ni hundre. |
| Jasmine: 900 |
| Philip: Ni hundre. Ni hundre. |
| Jasmine: We will continue with |
| Philip: Ett tusen. |
| Jasmine: 1000 |
| Philip: Ett tusen. Ett tusen. |
| Jasmine: Next is |
| Philip: Fem tusen. |
| Jasmine: 5000 |
| Philip: Fem tusen. Fem tusen. |
| Jasmine: We will continue with |
| Philip: Ti tusen. |
| Jasmine: 10000 |
| Philip: Ti tusen. |
| Jasmine: Next is |
| Philip: Femti tusen. |
| Jasmine: 50000 |
| Philip: Femti tusen. Femti tusen. |
| Jasmine: Then we have |
| Philip: Ett Hundre tusen. |
| Jasmine: 100,000 |
| Philip: Ett hundre tusen. Ett hundre tusen. |
| Jasmine: Finally we have |
| Philip: En million. |
| Jasmine: 1 million. |
| Philip: En million. En million. |
| VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE |
| Jasmine: Let’s take a closer look at our last word which is 1 million. What was it again Philip? |
| Philip: En million. |
| Jasmine: 1 million and what about all the other millions? Doesn’t the ending in million change after 1? |
| Philip: It does but it will be easy to remember. |
| Jasmine: Listeners, repeat after Philip. |
| Philip: To millioner. Tre millioner. Fire millioner. |
| Jasmine: 2 million, 3 million, 4 million. |
| Philip: Fem millioner. Seks millioner. Syv millioner. Åtte millioner. Ni millioner. |
| Jasmine: 5 million, 6 million, 7 million, 8 million, 9 million. |
| Philip: So the change is million becomes millioner in the pleural. |
| Jasmine: Can we hear an example? |
| Philip: I am looking for a meaningful one. How about Fire millioner åtte hundre og åtti fem tusen to hundre og førti. |
| Jasmine: Wow! And what does that mean? |
| Philip: It’s the current population of Norway. |
Lesson focus |
|---|
| Jasmine: Okay. So we use our usual formula here. 4,885,240, same as in English and now let’s have another example. The only one where we pronounce digits separately in Norwegian, a phone number. |
| Philip: Null syv null fire seks åtte to åtte. |
| Jasmine: They can also be pronounced in 10s but for better understanding, we use separate digits. All right, now on to the grammar. Let’s take a look at the structure in multiples of 100. |
| Philip: We’ve already learned how to say 100 ett hundre. So to build multiples of 100, you simply take numbers 2 to 9 and add hundre to the end. |
| Jasmine: Adding that hundre can be difficult at first but you get the hang of it. So listen and repeat. |
| Philip: To hundre. Tre hundre. Fire hundre. Fem hundre. Seks hundre. Syv hundre. Åtte hundre. Ni hundre. |
| Jasmine: From the previous bootcamp lesson, we also remember how to build 3-digit numbers with 100. Now we will use the same system to build numbers 200 through 299. Remember to add an og which means and where we connect the 100s and 10s just like in English. Let’s hear some examples. |
| Philip: Fire hundre og en. |
| Jasmine: 401 |
| Philip: To hundre og tjuesyv. |
| Jasmine: 227 |
| Philip: And next ni hundre og fjorten. |
| Jasmine: 914. Okay now let’s look at some examples over 1000. Philip, can you give us the word for 1000 again? |
| Philip: Tusen You don’t really have to say ett, one here. |
| Jasmine: So 1000 is |
| Philip: Ett tusen. |
| Jasmine: And 4000 is |
| Philip: Fire tusen. |
| Jasmine: So we take the number 4 and add 1000. |
| Philip: Yes. The number and then tusen. |
| Jasmine: So here is what we have. Listeners, repeat after Philip. |
| Philip: Ett tusen. To tusen. Tre tusen. Fire tusen. Fem tusen. Seks tusen. Syv tusen. Åtte tusen. Ni tusen. |
| Jasmine: When we say 21,000, 22,000, 23,000, 24,000, we just say the number plus tusen. |
| Philip: Tjueen tusen, tjueto tusen and so on. |
| Jasmine: So you just take a multiple of 10. 10, 20, 30, add a number from 1 to 9 and then add 1000. Easy as that. So give us the complicated four-digit number. |
| Philip: To tusen og tolv. |
| Jasmine: Nice. That’s the current year 2012. Okay give us one more Philip. The year you were born for example. |
| Philip: So the year I was born in is ett tusen ni hundre og åttifem but in Norwegian, the year of birth is usually spelled in 10s like in English. |
| Jasmine: 1985. So the formula with numbers in the thousands is this. First you say, how many thousands you have. Then how many hundreds, then 10s, then 1s. |
| Philip: Yes like in most languages. |
Outro |
| Jasmine: Okay well I think that’s it for this lesson. |
| Philip: And also this bootcamp series right? |
| Jasmine: That’s right. |
| Philip: Thanks for listening everyone. Hade. |
| Jasmine: Until next time. |
