This land of a thousand natural wonders is a dream come true for many travellers. It is a dream destination, with many folk landscapes. And to better discover a country, there is nothing better than learning its language.
Knowing how to name the miles (Tusen) of colours (Farge) from blue (Blå) to orange (Oransje) of the northern lights can surprise your entourage, Norwegian or not, and will bring you closer to them. Some time milestones (For example: "How long are you staying?" - Hvor lenge skal du bli her?)will allow you to better manage your tour of the vast country, as well as place markers ("It's all right" - Det er rett frem).
Learn all this vocabulary thanks to our essential factsheets as well as our suggestions for films, series, music and novels.
