Lesson Transcript

In this lesson, we’ll learn about a service crucial to your travels in this modern age - the Internet!
Normally, you'll get free Internet access in public libraries. In hotels, Wi-Fi is usually part of the service, in which case you may need a password in order to get online. You might ask “Excuse me, what is the password for using the Internet?”
Unnskyld, kva er passordet for å bruke Internettet?
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Unn-skyld, kva er pass-ord-et for å bru-ke In-ter-net-tet?
Once more:
Unnskyld, kva er passordet for å bruke Internettet?
Unnskyld is “Excuse me.”
Kva means “what”, and together with er, “is”, we get the useful phrase kva er...? (“what is...?”).
(slow) Kva er...?
Kva er...?
Passordet means “the password.”
(slow) Pass-ord-et.
Passordet.
The next part of the phrase, for å bruke, means “in order to use.”
(slow) For å bru-ke.
For å bruke.
The final word, Internettet, means “the Internet.”
(slow) In-ter-net-tet.
Internettet.
All together, that's
Unnskyld, kva er passordet for å bruke Internettet?
(slow) Unn-skyld, kva er pass-ord-et for å bru-ke In-ter-net-tet?
You may have to ask at the reception counter how much the connection costs for one hour.
“Excuse me, how much does it cost for one hour on the Internet?”
Unnskyld, kor mykje kostar det for ein time på Internettet?
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Unn-skyld, kor my-kje kos-tar det for ein ti-me på In-ter-net-tet?
Once more:
Unnskyld, kor mykje kostar det for ein time på Internettet?
As you already know, Unnskyld is “excuse me.”
Kor mykje means “how much.”
(slow) Kor my-kje.
Kor mykje.
Kostar is the present form of the verb “to cost.” Together with det, “it”, the phrase kostar det could be translated as “does it cost.”
(slow) Kos-tar det.
Kostar det.
Next we have the three words for ein time which literally mean “for one hour.”
(slow) For ein ti-me.
For ein time.
Finally, we have the phrase på Internettet, which means “on the Internet”.
(slow) På In-ter-net-tet.
På Internettet.
“Excuse me, how much does it cost for one hour on the Internet?”
Unnskyld, kor mykje kostar det for ein time på Internettet?
The answer will probably sound something like this:
Femti kroner for ein time.
“Fifty kroner for one hour.”
(slow) Fem-ti kro-ner for ein ti-me.
Femti kroner for ein time.
