Lesson Transcript

In this lesson we'll introduce parting phrases. We’ll start with some really common ones.
・
A parting expression that we can use any time of day to strangers or friends is
Ha det bra!
Let’s break it down:
(slow) Ha det bra!
Once more:
Ha det bra!
The word ha means “have.”
(slow) Ha.
Ha.
The word det means “it.”
(slow) Det.
Det.
Bra means “good.”
(slow) Bra.
Bra.
This phrase literally means “have it good.” We might translate this into English as “Have a good one!”
Ha det bra!
・
It is quite common to shorten the phrase to
Ha det!
(slow) Ha det!
Ha det!
We can translate this as “Good bye!”
・
The next expression is used when you're going to see someone again later
Me sjåast!
Let’s break it down.
(slow) Me sjå-ast!
Me sjåast!
The first word, me, means “we.”
(slow) Me
Me
Then we have sjåast, meaning “see each other.”
(slow) sjå-ast
sjåast
This phrase literally means “we see each other,” and can be translated into English as “See you later!” Saying Me sjåast! will really impress your Norwegian friends or relatives.
Let’s hear it one more time.
Me sjåast!
・
In Nynorsk, the greeting
Hei hei!
doesn't just mean “hello.” It is also the equivalent of “bye bye” in English.
(slow) Hei hei!
Hei hei!
You can also say just one Hei! just like “bye” in English.
