Some simple Norwegian words and phrases

Since my list of words and phrases in Norwegian was a lot longer than I thought it was, I’m going to post more than one post with different sentences and words.

In this post I’m going to list some simple basic words that are really important to know if you want to understand Norwegian sentences.

hei! i have two questions!! what's the difference between "å prate", "å fortelle" and "å snakke"? and the difference between "ikke" and "ingen"? thanks in advance

Hey there!!

-

“Å fortelle” - “To tell”

“Jeg forteller deg det senere.” - “I’ll tell you later.” 

“Han fortalte meg en historie.” - “He told me a story.”

-

“Å prate” - “To talk”

Now, “snakke” and “prate” are usually interchangeable, but “prate” can sometimes have more of a “babble” or “chatter”-ish feel to it (though not as much as the English “prate”), depending on how it’s used - and might even feel a bit colloquial in certain situations. I’d say it’s more often (though not exclusively) used when talking about trivial matters. 

“Vi satt og pratet i flere timer.” - “We sat and talked for hours.” 

“Å, du prater for mye!” - “Agh, you talk too much!”

-

“Å snakke” - “To speak”

Again, “snakke” and “prate” can often be used interchangeably, but in certain situations it’s more common to use “snakke”, such as:

“Jeg snakker norsk.” - “I speak Norwegian.”

“Kan jeg snakke litt med deg?” - “Can I speak to you for a moment?”

-

“Ikke”  - “Not”

“Jeg liker ikke hunder.” - “I don’t like dogs.”

“Jeg kan ikke svømme.” - “I can’t swim.”

“Ikke egentlig.” - “Not really.” 

-

“Ingen” - “None/no one/no”

“Ingen var hjemme.” - “No one was home.”

“Vi har ingen flere aviser igjen.” - “We have no newspapers left.” 

-

Hope that helps!! c:
