| Hi everyone! I'm Alisha. |
| Welcome to Conversational Phrases! |
| We've found that the best way to learn a language is to speak it from day one! And the best way to start speaking is to learn phrases that you'll use in real conversations. |
| In this lesson, you'll learn how to ask the question, "When is your birthday?" After watching this video, you'll be able to ask and answer about the date of an event. |
| Now, let's take a look at some conversational phrases! |
| Listen to the dialogue. |
| Når har du bursdag? |
| Den er 4. mars. |
| Once more with the English translation. |
| Når har du bursdag? |
| “When is your birthday?” |
| Den er 4. mars. |
| “It's on March 4th.” |
| First of all you'll need to learn how to say "When is [event]?" |
| The pattern is: Når har/er [event]? |
| This Norwegian sentence translates as "When has/is [event]?" But it means “When is [event]?”. |
| For example: |
| “When is your birthday?” |
| Når har du bursdag?, Når har du bursdag? |
| Now, how do you answer this question? |
| Den er 4. mars. |
| “It's on March 4th.” |
| Listen to it again: |
| Den er 4. mars., Den er 4. mars. |
| This Norwegian sentence literally translates as "It is 4th March." But it means “It's on March 4th.”. |
