POST
John: Listen again to Anne's post.
Mai: Nå er vi ved utgangen og venter på flyet.
John: "We are now at the gate, waiting for the flight."
Mai: (SLOW) Nå er vi ved utgangen og venter på flyet. (Regular) Nå er vi ved utgangen og venter på flyet.
John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "we are now at the gate."
Mai: Nå er vi ved utgangen
John: In Norwegian, the word indicating the gate that leads to a plane in an airport actually means “exit.” Listen again- "We are now at the gate" is...
Mai: (SLOW) Nå er vi ved utgangen (REGULAR) Nå er vi ved utgangen
John: Then comes the phrase - "waiting for the flight."
Mai: og venter på flyet
John: Since the sentence starts with "now," it is important to keep all the verbs in the sentence in the present tense. Listen again- "waiting for the flight" is...
Mai: (SLOW) og venter på flyet (REGULAR) og venter på flyet
John: All together, it's "We are now at the gate, waiting for the flight."
Mai: Nå er vi ved utgangen og venter på flyet.
