| Hi, everybody! This is Anette from NorwegianClass101.com. |
| Do you know how to say “thank you” in Norwegian? In this lesson, you'll learn three different ways to say "thank you" and how to respond. |
| Let’s start with the easiest one. |
| Takk. |
| [slowly] Takk. |
| It means “thank you.” |
| If you want to show your sincere appreciation for something, say this phrase. |
| Tusen takk. |
| [slowly] Tusen takk. |
| The word Tusen means "thousand." So this expression means "Thank you very much." |
| It expresses a deeper appreciation for a personal kindness. |
| When you want to show your appreciation in a more formal way, you can use this expression. |
| Tusen takk, så hyggelig av deg. |
| [slowly] Tusen takk, så hyggelig av deg |
| It means "thank you so much; how nice of you." Using this longer and more formal phrase, you can express a lot of gratitude |
| . |
| Now you know 3 different ways to say "thank you" in Norwegian! But how do you respond if someone thanks you? |
| If someone says "thank you" in Norwegian, simply say Velbekomme. It means "you're welcome." |
| Let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what we've learned. Listen to the expressions and repeat after me. |
| “Thank you." |
| Takk. |
| *beep |
| Takk. |
| "Thank you so much." |
| Tusen takk. |
| *beep |
| Tusen takk. |
| The formal way to say meaning "thank you so much, how nice of you." |
| Tusen takk, så hyggelig av deg. |
| *beep |
| Tusen takk, så hyggelig av deg. |
| And to respond, just say: |
| Velbekomme. |
| *beep |
| Velbekomme. |
| Well done! [pause] |
| If you're not sure which one to say, just say Takk. It can be used with just about anyone, anywhere, and at any time! |
| You just learned three different ways to say “thank you” and how to respond in Norwegian. |
