Information
Norwegian is spoken in Norway!
Because the Vikings invaded Scotland in years gone by, we have some words in English that are stolen from Norwegian! Modern day English words like 'ski' and 'slalom' for example come from Norwegian.
Here are some useful phrases:
Yes - Ja
No - Nei
Hello - Hallo
Goodbye - Ha det
Welcome! - Velkommen
Pleased to meet you - Hyggelig å treffe deg
Thank you - Takk
My name is... - Mitt navn er...
Do you speak English? - Snakker du engelsk?
I'm sorry, I don't speak Norwegian - Beklager, jeg snakker ikke norsk
I need help - Kan du hjelpe meg
