Lesson Transcript

Taking into consideration the fact that nowadays allergies are more common than ever, we've decided to teach you how to explain the situation, just in case you are one of many people who have to deal with unpleasant allergies.
In Nynorsk, “I’m allergic to this product” is:
Eg er allergisk mot dette produktet.
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Eg er al-ler-gisk mot det-te pro-duk-tet.
Once more:
Eg er allergisk mot dette produktet.
The first two words, eg er, mean “I am.”
(slow) Eg er.
Eg er.
The second word, allergisk, means “allergic.”
(slow) Al-ler-gisk.
Allergisk.
Next, we have mot which means “against.”
(slow) Mot.
Mot.
And at the end, the words dette produktet which mean “this product.”
(slow) Det-te pro-duk-tet.
Dette produktet.
Let’s hear the expression again:
Eg er allergisk mot dette produktet.
You can point at the product at the same time.
For a gluten allergy, the phrase will sounds like this:
Eg er allergisk mot gluten.
“I’m allergic to gluten.”
In this sentence, you were definitely able to guess the meaning of the word gluten. That is “gluten.”
Let’s hear that again:
(slow) Eg er al-ler-gisk mot glu-ten.
Eg er allergisk mot gluten.
Let’s try with the word for lactose now. In Nynorsk, lactose is
Laktose
“I’m allergic to lactose” is
Eg er allergisk mot laktose.
Let’s hear it one more time slowly:
(slow) Eg er al-ler-gisk mot lak-to-se.
Eg er allergisk mot laktose.
