Discover the fascinating dual nature of Norwegian &#34;skulle&#34; and transform your understanding of this essential modal verb in the past tense!

And we have many more examples!We&#39;ve also made many more Weekly Essays about &#34;Pusse opp hjemmet&#34; (to renovate), about &#34;Bobil eventyr i Jotunheimen&#34; (Campervan adventure in the national park Jotunheimen), and several new business language essays as well.

In this episode we&#39;re starting a new little series about small bits of helpful and useful expressions, that are common in everyday speech.And a very helpful way of not repeating the whole phrase in a reponse to a question, we often say f.ex. &#34;Yes, I can&#34; or &#34;Yes, I do&#34;. Ex: Kan du sykle? Ja, det kan jeg. Vil du spise? Ja, det vil jeg. Sykler du til jobben? Ja det gjør jeg. The rule is this: kan, vil, skal, må + er/har in the question =&gt; repeat the verb in the response. All others verbs as question =&gt; put &#34;gjør&#34; in the response. Fill-ins: Er du glad i dag? Ja, det ... jeg. Kan du spille gitar? Ja, det ... jeg. Drikker du kaffe? Ja, det ... jeg... Great!

Basic Grammar #17 - Comparative, Superlative. "Fin, finere, finest!"

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/12/7/23/3d681983-314f-4e6e-b192-5c9a493a902b_audio.mp3

In this episode we&#39;ll look at when to use the &#34;sin&#34; concept, and how to find the right ending.
1. The endings follow the object they belong to;
Han legger sønnen sin.
Han er på øya si.
Han vasker huset sitt.
Han mister nøklene sine.
2. The condition for using &#34;sin&#34; is as follows:
&#34;If the subject is in the 3. person (he,she,they), and the object belongs to the subject, replace hans/hennes/deres with sin/si/sittt/sine! :)
3. The two most common &#34;traps&#34; are; 
- be sure what the subject is
- with subclauses; find subject and object again
FIll-ins:
Han reiser på tur med kona …….. (his own).
Han og kona ……. (his own) reiser på tur sammen.
Han sier at kona ……. er hjemme i dag.
..
This might be the hardest item in the grammar - but once the subject/object part is more clear, everything becomes more easy!
And,
Great work!! :D

Basic Grammar #16 - The "sin" concept. "Han henter bilen sin."

In this episode we&#39;ll hear about the main person thinking about his efforts to get assignments as a writer and applying for work at the local Firestation.
He then ventures out into the street, and his moods changes into heightened confidence - slightly influenced by his debilitating hunger.
Jeg-personen går i denne episoden ut av huset og møter folkene i gatene.  Det er en livlig scene som fyller han med nytt mot og vi ser hvordan sulten påvirker opplevelsen og persepsjonen av livet og folkene rundt ham.
Thanks for listening, 
and enjoy!

In this episode we&#39;ll hear about the main person thinking about his efforts to get assignments as a writer and applying for work at the local Firestation.
He then ventures out into the street, and his moods changes into heightened confidence - slightly influenced by his debilitating hunger.
Jeg-personen går i denne episoden ut av huset og møter folkene i gatene.  Det er en livlig scene som fyller han med nytt mot og vi ser hvordan sulten påvirker opplevelsen og persepsjonen av livet og folkene rundt ham.

Advanced Reading - "Sult" av Hamsun, #2.

In the episode we&#39;ll expand slightly on the topic of the subclauses, and look at what happens if you start a sentence with a subclause.
The rule is this;
The subclause itself remains exactly the same as before, but afterwards you put a comma, and then the verb.
Example:
Hvis sola ikke skinner, drar vi hjem.
Hvis bussen ikke kommer, må vi løpe.
To fill in:
Hvis barna ikke er sultne, _______ (spiser - senere - vi)
Fordi han ikke var syk, _____ (de - hjem - dro)
..
Excellent work!!
😊

Basic Grammar #15 - Starting a sentence with a subclause; "Hvis sola skinner, drar vi på tur!"

https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/pod-public-media-files/2021/12/7/23/97630d3b-31bf-4c46-95d1-e0261a76a42c_audio.mp3

In Norwegian language there is a slight change in word order every time you have a subclause with an adverb.
Ex:
Det er ikke regn. (Normal sentence)
Hun sykler fordi det ikke er regn. (Subclause with &#34;fordi&#34;)
The rule is this:
1. subjunksjon (hvis, at, fordi.. osv.)
2. subjekt (person/ting)
3. adverb (ikke, ofte, sjelden, aldri etc.)
4. verb
Fill-ins:
Marco sier ............................... (han - sykler - aldri - at).
Britt drar på ferie ............................... (hun - er - syk - ikke - hvis).
Butikken stenger ............................... (det - er - kunder - ikke - fordi).
..
Great work! :))
