Lesson focus
Norwegian Survival Phrases. Lesson 24.
Riding the Norwegian Bus: What is the next stop?
In the previous lesson, we learned how to ask the bus driver if the bus goes to your destination.
Once on the bus, you'll also need to know where to get off. Use the phrase Er dette ...? This phrase means "Is this ...?" Just use whichever city and the name of the stop there at the end of the sentence. Let's try with the city of Bergen, one of Norway's biggest tourist destinations, which is famous for its harbor. Er dette Bergen? Er dette Bergen? Er dette Bergen? In English, is this Bergen?
The first word is er, which is Norwegian for "is." It is followed by dette, which we have seen in previous lessons, which means, "this." It's that simple.
Another way of inquiring could be to ask what the next stop is. In Norwegian, the phrase is Hva er neste stopp? "What's the next stop?" Let's break down these words and hear the entire phrase one more time. Hva er neste stopp? Hva er neste stopp? Hva is "what," neste means "next," and stopp is "stop."
As an answer, you might get Neste stopp er Bergen. Start preparing to get off if you hear this because it means, "The next stop is Bergen."

Outro
Okay, to close out today's lesson, we'd like for you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer; so, Så lykke til, which means "good luck" in Norwegian.
“Is this Bergen already?” - Er dette Bergen?
Er dette Bergen?
Er dette Bergen?
“What's the next stop?” - Hva er neste stopp?
Hva er neste stopp?
Hva er neste stopp?
“The next stopp is Bergen.” - Neste stopp er Bergen.
Neste stopp er Bergen.
Neste stopp er Bergen.
