Norwegian Survival Phrases. Lesson 5.
Parting Norwegian Greeting.
In this lesson, we'll introduce parting greetings.
A parting expression that we can use any time of the day to strangers is Ha det bra, which literally means, "Goodbye." Ha det bra. Ha det bra. Let's break it down by syllable: ha det bra. Now let's hear it again: ha det bra. The first word, Ha det means something like "Have it." The second word is bra, which means, "good."
Let's look at the shortened form of this expression, also commonly used by Norwegians. Sees. Sees. Sees. This is a little bit less polite, but you can't really run into trouble using it.
As we learned in the last lesson, when parting or saying Goodbye at night, the greeting God natt is the appropriate choice. Let's break it down by syllable: god natt. Now let's hear it again: god natt. God natt. Another common way of saying Goodbye is leaving bra, “good” from the expression and you'll get only hade. In English, bye. Let's try: hade. Hade. Hade.
Okay, the closeout todays lesson, would like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer. Så lykke til, which means good luck in Norwegian.
