Numbers 11-20[edit | edit source]

In Norwegian Bokmål, the numbers from 11 to 20 have a unique structure. Instead of using the word for "ten" (ti), they are formed by combining the word for the unit digit with the suffix "-ten". Here are the numbers from 11 to 20:

elleve [ɛləvə] eleven
tolv [tɔlv] twelve
tretten [tʀɛtən] thirteen
fjorten [fjuːʈən] fourteen
femten [fɛmtn̩] fifteen

Numbers 20-100[edit | edit source]

In Norwegian Bokmål, the numbers from 20 to 100 follow a similar pattern as the numbers from 11 to 20. They are formed by combining the word for the tens digit with the word for the unit digit. Here are the numbers from 20 to 100:

Norwegian Bokmål Pronunciation English
tjueto [tjʉːəˈtuː] twenty-two
tretti [ˈtʀɛti] thirty
førti [ˈfœʈi] forty
femti [ˈfɛmti] fifty
seksti [ˈsɛksti] sixty
sytti [ˈsʏti] seventy
åtti [ˈɔti] eighty

Fantastic! You've now learned the numbers from 1 to 100 in Norwegian Bokmål. Remember to practice counting regularly to reinforce your knowledge.

Cultural Insight[edit | edit source]

In Norwegian culture, numbers play a significant role in various customs and traditions. One interesting fact is that Norwegians have a unique way of expressing time. Instead of saying, for example, "quarter past three," they say "kvart over tre," which means "quarter over three." Similarly, instead of saying "quarter to four," they say "kvart på fire," which means "quarter on four." This quirky expression adds a charming touch to the Norwegian language.

Another cultural aspect to note is the importance of numbers in the Norwegian lottery. Every Saturday, Norwegians eagerly tune in to the televised lottery draw, known as "Lotto," where a series of numbers are randomly selected. Winning the lottery is a dream shared by many Norwegians, and the anticipation of hearing their chosen numbers being called out is an exciting experience.

Exercise[edit | edit source]

Now it's time to put your knowledge to the test with a few exercises. Translate the following numbers from English to Norwegian Bokmål:

1. Twenty-five 2. Forty-two 3. Seventy-nine 4. Thirty-six 5. Fifty-eight

Solution:

1. Tjuefem 2. Førtito 3. Syttini 4. Trettiseks 5. Femtito

Well done! You've successfully translated the numbers. Keep practicing to reinforce your understanding.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

Congratulations! You've completed the lesson on numbers from 1 to 100 in Norwegian Bokmål.
