    Your first words

    So here we are. The tutorial has started!

    When you come to Norway it will always be pleasant to know this:

    Yes, the meaning is what you've already figured out: "Hi!"

    There are also several other words you can use when you meet a Norwegian. Here are two
    other greetings:

    Hallo Hello
    God dag "Good day"

    You might have discovered already that this isn't as difficult as you thought before you started.
    These words are almost totally similar to the English words!

    It's also useful to know what to say when you're leaving:

    Ha det! Bye! or Ha det bra! Goodbye!

    So now you know how to start and end a conversation. Here are some other essential words:

    Ja Yes Takk Thank you


    Nei No Unnskyld Sorry / Excuse me

    Hvordan går det? How is it going?


    Det går bra It's going fine

    Here are the Norwegian pronouns:

    jeg I
    du you
    han he
    hun she
    det / den it
    vi we
    dere you (pl.)
    de they

    å være (to be)


    jeg er I am
    du er you are
    han er he is
    hun er she is
    det / den er it is
    vi er we are
    dere er you (pl.) are
    de er they are

    å snakke (to speak/talk) å hete (to be called)


    jeg snakker I speak jeg heter I am called
    du snakker you speak du heter you are called
    han snakker he speaks han heter he is called
    hun snakker she speaks hun heter she is called
    det / den snakker it speaks det / den heter it is called
    vi snakker we speak vi heter we are called
    dere snakker you (pl.) speak dere heter you (pl.) are called
    de snakker they speak de heter they are called

    The first verb you learnt, "å være" (to be), is one of the very few irregular verbs in Norwegian.
    "Å hete" and "å lære" are regular. You can probably easily figure out the conjugation rule,
    which we will give a special name:

    The golden rule: To conjugate a verb in the present tense, you simply add -r to the end of it!

    Probably you've also noticed that "å" is always in front of a verb in the infinitive. It's called "the
    infinitive marker". In English the infinitive marker is "to" (for instance "to be").
    It's unnecessary to use a big table for each verb, so from now on we'll just present the verbs like
    this; in the first column you find the English translation, the infinitive form is in the second
    column, and the present tense form is shown in the third one:

    to be å være er
    to speak / talk å snakke snakker
    to be called å hete heter

    Here are two more verbs:

    to learn å lære lærer


    to live å bo bor
