Notes
[edit | edit source]En kopp and Et glass is a bit tricky. When you want to say, "A cup/glass of water", you would say "En kopp/glass vann". You don't include the "av" to represent "of", like you do in English. Here are some translations:
- A cup of sugar - En kopp sukker
- A cup of fish - En kopp fisk
- A cup of milk - En kopp melk
- A glass of sugar - Et glass sukker
- A glass of fish - Et glass fisk
- A glass of milk - Et glass melk
Understand? Great!
