Norwegian Prepositions Explained: ( i ) eller (på) Part 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 сер 2012
- This is the first in a series of videos designed to explain not only how Norwegian prepositions work, but how to learn how to use them by yourself. (På) and (i) are a great place to start because they demonstrate how noun - specific Norwegian prepositions can be. Below are some useful links for those who are interested in more information.
Lykke til !

I'm Brazilian and I speak English fluently. I was searching in the internet about a Scandinavian language for me to learn and I compared Danish, Swedish and Norwegian so I decided to learn the last one. Your video helped me a lot because your grammar rules are a little bit similar to English and Portuguese. Thanks a lot.
This is I think the fourth or fifth of your videos I've watched. I've really been enjoying learning about Norwegian because so many words are so tantalizingly close to the English equivalent, and the language itself is so pleasant to listen to. Thank you so much for doing these!
Thank you.
Grammar can be interesting for me, but only when i already can read and understand a text/language. It certainly serves a purpose, but people have to realize it is not mandatory to learn grammar in order to learn a language.
Thanks for all the great videos by the way!
Hey dude you are helping a lot since I also study norwegian. Keep it up. Du er hjelpe mye. Tusen takk.
Thank you for such a good video , you highlighted all grammatical essentials in a sentence not only for me here Pa and I is well explained as well definite and indefinite articles . I study on my own and there is chaos in my head : D
When I listen to Norwegians on the street, I think that it is impossible for me to eveunderstand , I don't understand anything.
I guess it will come with time.
All in all a great video, quite understandable.
værsågod yeshuaq! Here is another example of (i) used in an idiomatic prepositional phrase - sett i gang - (get started)
Hva bør du tenke på før du (setter i gang) - What should you consider before you (get started).
These phrases are easy to remember and once I learn them, I hear them all the time - especially on the radio. : )
09:42 I think I've knacked the code :D! When you listed up the uses of "i" and "på" inside a house, I noticed all the masculine nouns use "i", while most of the neutral nouns use "på", with "i huset" being the exception. "gangen" can use both "i" and "på" despite being a masculine noun.
I think that "i huset" is an exception because you're saying something is INSIDE of the house, not physically ON ("på") the house. "i" doesn't only mean "in", it means "inside". We say "inne i" to be more specific about the object being "inside" something.
Example: "nøklene er inne i bilen" and "nøklene er i bilen" has the same translation which is "the keys are inside/in the car". The literal translation of "nøklene er inne i bilen" is "the keys are inside in the car", and the literal translation of "nøklene er i bilen" is "the keys are in the car". The most correct translation of "nøklene er inne i bilen" is "the keys are inside of the car", while the most correct translation of "nøklene er i bilen" is "the keys are in the car".
The Oslo-dialect sometimes abbreviates "inne i" to "inni" which means the exact same thing. It can be compared to "you're" being the abbreviation of "you are" in English.
And for those who don't know, masculine nouns like "gutt", which means "boy", use the article "en", while neutral nouns like "tre", which means "tree", use "et". Femenine nouns like "jente", which means "girl", use "ei", but the Oslo-dialect use "en" for both masculine and femenine nouns. That's why the Oslo dialect can say "en jente" instead of "ei jente". However it's not a set rule, so it's okay to say both "en jente" og "ei jente".
Hope this helped!
I'm Norwegian, in case you might ask ;). I have some difficulties with articulation so I've done some studying, though I don't actually need it.
Sandy Tree thank you very much!!!!!
bullshit, unfortunately
@@nightbreakerromanov5683 Shut up
Thank you for the help.
Hi I am an Indian , I had think several days how can I learn Norwegian! Now I feel a little hope to learn Norwegian.... Thank you...
Here's something really good to know. - When you say ( I am sure that you are *good in English ) you use ( i )
( Jeg er sikker på at du er * flink i engelsk )
When you ask ( How do you say it * in English ? ) You use (på) ( Hvordan sier du det * på engelsk?
You may think little things like this don't matter much, but when you're having a conversation it gives you a lot of confidence if you get it right. : )
Thank you for the lesson! I learn a lot from each video.
Natalia, I would recommend that you do web searches for questions you have about norwegian. Then make a bookmark folder with websites that work for you at your level. Its best to use many sources and compare the information. I don't have a favorite book myself. I just use the entire internet as my book. : )
You helped me a lot. Thank you for the help dude.
I APPRECIATE YOUR WORK , and jeg er glad i deg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You do say "på sommeren" if you are saying "in the summertime" for eksempel: "Jeg reiser til Tyrkia på sommeren." - "I go to Turkey in the summertime", other than that this is just great! ill recommend it to my friends wanting lo learn norwegian :) make more!
bra jobbet kompis. jeg er norsk selv og dette er veldig bra jeg håper at du får dette til videre kos deg :). Well done buddy. i am norwegian myself and this is very good i hope u gonna get this to work! have a good time :)
det er viktig ord til meg. tusen takk.
Thank you for your videos. Would you please post links for idiomatic phrases if possible.
Jeg er veldig glad i den jobb. Fordi lært jeg mange norsk regel av deg som er preposisjoner. Så da jeg takk så mye også jeg vil si deg, hvis du er ledig kun du forteller noen om setninger, ledsetninger og helsetninger.
Do you have a website to view or to watch the whole lessons for all topics that we needed to know or to learn about norwegian?.t.. Du er flink og snill.. takk for lage.takk skal du ha.
Great video. Tusen takk.
yes very use full this Words i use also NTNU THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO LEARN NORWEGIAN! tnank you
det er veldig viktig på meg.mange takk
mange takk.
but does it mean morgen can be used interchangeable with morning and tomorrow, that part is confusing
Yes, your english is very good, Sydebern. The examples presented here are merely an explanation of how (i) and (på) are used. I agree with you. They become easy the more you actually use them! . : )
takk så mye. den hjelper virkelig meg så mye. jeg er også sruderer norskspråk.
Takk skal du ha Henny! Now I need to add an annotation to the video telling folks to see the comments section for all this information. Takk for hjelpen!!! : )
Please recommend me the best book to learn. You are the best! Really helpful!!
Thia helps a lot. Thank you!
Thanks for the video, helped alot.I had doubts about when to use på or i.I just wnated you to read a bit better the phrases in norwegian to help me understand a bit better.Thanks again
Hi thomas tusen takk very clear
Yes, the Norwegian prepositions are really interesting :-D
tusen takk skal du ha for deler denne.. du er flink da..
Thanks. The ways på and i are used had always confused me. The rules for various uses were not covered in my first level norsk course, beyond telling me they meant on and to. Another two words that I struggle with are til and for, meaning to and for. There are so many confusing other ways they are used. The word som is another one, with so many meanings, like who and which. Videos on rules for til, for and som would also be helpful, too. Thanks for your help with your videos.
Oh! I just found them. You already did videos on them. Great series.
Tusen takk
thaks for they help with yours videos
Så bra! Koni mi er her og hun sier det stemmer! Takk skal du ha! : )
Tror det er viktig og skille mellom direkte oversetting og betydelse. Jeg dro på jobb - dosent mean "I went out on a job" it implies that you werent going to job, but did it anyway (something like that) and Jeg skal reise til / fra dosent mean "i shall travle to / from" its more "i am travling to / from"
tusen takk
You are so right that you make tiny mistakes and the polite Norwegians would switch to English...Apparently foreigners also have trouble practicing Dutch because the native Dutch are so fluent in English. It is not so easy to learn Norwegian when Norwegians are so good at speaking English:-)
"Jeg setter pris på ..." Sounds like it means "I set praise on..." to me.
Takk! : )
I would normally use "i gangen" if it's in a house and "på gangen" if it's in an apartment building or a workplace
'Å slå av' also is a preposisjonsuttrykk: 'To turn/switch off', while directly translated: 'To punch off'
i - it's about certain square"- city , face of the book, place or even quantity of time.
p°a - about personal interest , pa skolen, pa bingo, pa jobb and so on.
best way to explain på is with the english up (I assume in oldnorsk it was oppå)
Nei, dessverre jeg har ingen nettsted. I started this channel just to share information on norwegian with other people who are learning it.: )
Why is "for" often used with "å," as in "for å lære" instead of just "å lære" -- to learn
is that "english R" also pronounced the same way in norwegian?
Not necessarily. This guys pronunciation is off.. The pronunciation of "R" depends on where you are in Norway (and Sweden). Oslo has a slight tap when saying "R": similar to that of the Spanish "R". If you go to Southern Norway like Kristiansand, the "R" is slightly pronounced like a French "r".
Sweden has a significant tap on their "R" and sometimes a roll like the double "rr" in Spanish.
I would recommend pronouncing the "r" with a slight tap because it is more standard.
Bjørn Gryttingsodegaard Christian Arriagada The English R is also used certain places in Northern Norway. In Eastern Norwegian, you can often hear it if it's in front of a T, like in borte (away), fart (speed) and kart (map)
Ondrikus ja! det har jeg innsett :) tusen takk for forklaringen din
Ondrikus Jep
What can be good to remember is that often you would not hear 'inne i huset', but 'inni huset' ('inni' is NOT a word, so never write that on a postcard or something, are you writing any kind of text in Norwegian (by the way: 'in norwegian' means 'på norsk', not 'i norsk') you must write 'inne i'!). But these two sentences means exactly the same.
nIce vid ;) well explained ;)
You really don't have to learn any of these rules if you want to learn Norwegian.
Only learn them if you enjoy it i would say. When you progress naturally in learning a language, you will get a feeling for it, just like with your mothertongue. I've learned English this way and also Norwegian. I myself hate learning such rules and i'm not the only one i think ;) Still my English for example is fairly correct (is it? :P ).
👍 👍 👍
9:00 you can also say: han er inne på noe der ja.. which means hes on to something there
du er flink
Haha, prepositions are so troublesome aren't they? I'm a native Norwegian, so I remember having to learn the English ones and getting all confused. Worse still was the German ones, which alter the suffixes to words!
Thanks
på soverommet since in the old farmhouses the bedroom was up
'Å sette pris på' is very weird, because it is a verb combined of several words. Of course 'sette' is a verb, but it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the rest of the expression. 'Å sette' means 'To sit', or 'To put', or 'To place'... We have more expressions like that in our language. Example: 'Å finne på' which is a little more complicated. For example: 'Jeg fant på en lek' - 'I invented a game', 'Hvordan kunne han finne på å gjøre noe sånt?' - 'How could he do such a thing?'...
Takk
når jeg blir norsk nok? hvis jeg gjifte meg norsk jente . 😀
jeg gir opp noen ganger med norsk språk. norsk er egentlig forvirret .
hjertlig tusen takk det et hjelpsom
thanks so much am really it is helpful &easy to understand but you're very quickly when you sound it so If it's possible please slowly to read with nosrk otherwise it's very important
Why do some people write "dro" in the past form of a verb while the others write "drog"? Is there any difference?
+Człowiek Onomatopeja , I believe you can use either spelling. Both mean the same thing. The "g" is always silent. Another example like that would be "ga" and "gav" - meaning "gave" in English. Here's a link - no.wiktionary.org/wiki/dra
Oh, thanks a lot! Ur helpin' me reach my life target!
Thanks a lot!:)
I was told by my teacher that "drog" is actually a Danish past form. It's considered now old-fashioned in Norwegian.
My teacher's from Norway. :). More specifically - from Vestfold.
I wouldn't actually use 'i morgen' about 'in the morning'. I would rather say 'Om morgenen' (which is correct to write in a text, not only orally).
Very good job, as always... I even laughed a little bit when you said that you can not say 'Han var på banken', because I got in my head what that would mean, and... uhm... if you 'går på banken' you probably will clean the roof or suicide or something ;)
OOOOOps *Kona mi ... : )
Isn't it 'jeg bladdet ...avisen' for past tense not bladde !
No, you would say: "Jeg bladde i avisen." which means I looked through the newspaper.
I et år/en måned - I'd only use that in a sentence like "Jeg har bodd her i et år/en måned nå" so it's actually "for a year", not "in a year". If you use it like "I'll be done in a month/a year" i'd say "jeg er ferdig om en måned/et år"
mormor og farer de er samme am i right??
Mormor (=grandmother) means mothermother (my mothers mother) and if you mean farfar (=grandfather) and not farer; farfar means fatherfather (my fathers father.
Morfar is my mothers father
Farmor is my fathers mother.
Thea S tusen takk😄😄
Bare hyggelig!
also - "Du må kle deg godt på vinteren." - "You have to dress well/varm in the winter."
