Good teacher

[@daveclemmer4536]

Tusen takk for hjelpsom leksjon! It's funny (or not) that mobile language apps like Duolingo or Mondly don't even cover the alphabet and these simple grammar rules.

[@bernalmellyf.6519]

i love the lessons :> thank your so much!

[@bookstore1282]

What did you prounece (c) . Thank you

[@uttaleno]

This letter, as q, x, w and z, almost only appears in loanwords. The pronunciation differs: camping = k, Cecilie = s, cello = tj or sj. The main rule is that it is pronounced s before i, e, y and k before a, o, u. That should be added in a later video.

I've met a lot of Norwegians and watched a lot of videos in KZbin. Regarding alphabet. This is one of the best. The thing is, Norwegian natives do not understand o and å are super confusing sound to foreigners. 😂

Are double consonants pronounced in Norwegian?

[@jonfosaaen6781]

How do you pronounce the name "Fosaaen"? At some point during World War 2, my dad, Knute, stopped off at a little town in Iowa to check on a relative. He asked at the local bar* for Mr. "Fawson" (how our branch of the family pronounces the name), but the bartender didn't know of him. A few minutes later, the bartender asked my dad if he meant Mr. "Foo-sown", or "Foo-sowen", or some such--and then gave dad the directions to the relative he was looking for. *Based on the theory that, in a small town, even if the bartender didn't know every single person in that town, he probably knew every Norwegian.

😀😃😄

[@uttaleno]

That's a fun story! The bartender's pronunciation is quite close, at least the second one: "Foo-sowen". What you write as "ow" here, like a diphthong, is just the vowel "å".

Hello, I 'm new here. Are you teaching Bokmål or Nynorsk, please?

[@puchachabra5986]

Really really helpful 👍😃

[@voules1]

Is this a rule that ''eg'' in the end of the word is pronunce like''æi''?

[@uttaleno]

No, it only applies to a few words. The word “steg” (step), for example, is pronounced with a long /e/ and a /g/

[@pooja_chonakv_duliajan3974]

It's good and helpful. But you may find the grammar part of silent words a little hard if you are a beginner of Norwegian bokmal language. Otherwise OK.........

[@BroadShoulderedBull]

Go back to your country

[@winterbalm]

fascinating

[@MultiGeddie]

nice lecturer :)

[@ARMA851000]

Is the "v" pronounce the same way like in English?

[@uttaleno]

Not completely. The Norwegian is usually an approximant, while the English is a fricative. The difference in pronunciation here is quite slim,

[@kisanet5305]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@laureenpinnock3997]

Thank you for a clear teaching style

[@ferdinandfabillar2647]

Det var feil når du sa J si det sånn her jådd

[@uttaleno]

Hei! Noen sier "jådd" for , mens andre (som meg) sier "je". Begge er like korrekte.

[@yahiabelkacemi6388]

How about "unnskyl"

[@zakarianassiri1777]

up

[@farhan_omar]

ignorere ....Her uttaler man g 🤨

[@uttaleno]

Hei, Farhan! G uttales ofte, men ikke før j: gjøre, eller på slutten av adjektiv med ig: hyggelig. Se fra ca. 3:20 i videoen.
