| Anne: Nå er vi ved utgangen og venter på flyet. |
| John: "We are now at the gate, waiting for the flight." |
| (clicking sound) |
| Per: God tur! |
| John: "Have a good trip!" |
| Hanne: Hvor skal dere? |
| John: "Where are you going?" |
| Anders: Norge er vel bra nok, hvorfor dra noe annet sted? |
| John: "Surely Norway is good enough, so why go somewhere else?" |
| Julie: Jeg tror dere kommer til å ha en super tur. |
| John: "I think you're going to have a great trip." |
| 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. |
