| POST |
| John: Listen again to Olav's post. |
| Mai: Jeg ødela kneet på treningsenteret. |
| John: "I busted my knee at the gym." |
| Mai: (SLOW) Jeg ødela kneet på treningsenteret. (Regular) Jeg ødela kneet på treningsenteret. |
| John: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "I busted my knee." |
| Mai: Jeg ødela kneet |
| John: Although the literal translation of this expression is "I broke the knee," it is implied that you are referring to "my knee." This phrase does not necessarily imply a permanent or serious injury. Listen again- "I busted my knee" is... |
| Mai: (SLOW) Jeg ødela kneet (REGULAR) Jeg ødela kneet |
| John: Then comes the phrase - "at the gym." |
| Mai: på treningssenteret |
| John: This shows the location and implies this happened during physical training at the gym. You can keep the same preposition and add a different place to refer to somewhere else. Listen again - "at the gym" is... |
| Mai: (SLOW) på treningssenteret (REGULAR) på treningssenteret |
| John: All together, it's "I busted my knee at the gym." |
| Mai: Jeg ødela kneet på treningsenteret. |
