"Drikker de vårt vann?"

Translation: Are they drinking our water?

[cdnmark]

audio mistake: played as a sentence vort sounds fine, but if you just get the word to play it mistakenly says "varsht"

[CvStipp]

Is it normal that the "r" in "vårt" sounds like an "s" ?

[KattHarvey]

From what I understand, no. The same thing happened to me and it really threw me off.

[t.gothorp]

Would "Drikker de vann vårt" be acceptable?

[gokhanturkeli]

I think it should be "Drikker de vannet vårt"

[Deliciae]

Correct. :)

[Oonsay]

"Vårt" placed before "vannet" emphasizes the confusion in this context, right?

[jaiirapetjan]

I had this as a "type what you hear" task, but there was no audio. Did you have that problem? I reported it.

[Luke_5.1991]

It's a new sentence. It takes a while for the audio to arrive.

[jaiirapetjan]

Takk. Next time I won't report it then. I bet you guys have enough to do! Thanks.

Hi, aren't there any listening or speaking exercises for Norwegian? I have activated such option but I haven't encountered one so far

[Deliciae]

They should both be available in the PC/browser version, but they may not be on all mobile platforms yet.

When i downloaded the app a year ago i had the vocal exercises. I didnt use the app for many months and have since received a replacement of the same kind of phone. I turned on the option for vocal exercises and made sure i gave it permissions to use the microphone, but i still havent found any vocal exercises in the app. Is there something else i should do to make it work?

[Deliciae]

Not to my knowledge. You could try the Troubleshooting forum.

[PaoloCosmo]

Are there any audio experts in Norsk?
What is the pronunciation of vårt?
something like [va]
or
something like [varch]
?

[MushroomOdyssey]

If i understand correctly.. try saying "vart" while pretending a marble is in your mouth. So the 'a' sounds a little more like an 'o' and the 'rt' is changed by the tip of your tongue being farther back against the roof of your mouth and the middle/lower part of your tongue being a little lower agaist the bottom of your mouth than it would be with an english accent. I hope that is descriptive enough to be useful :/

How are 'de' and 'di' pronounced differently? i keep on hearing the same thing..

[Lancet]

Why is this not "Drikker de vårt vannet?"

[akamillan0]

When the pronoun is placed before the noun, the noun must be in its indefinite form.

[Caroline-G.]

Sounds like Holes.

[RobertXun]

Why "They are drinking our water?" translation not accepted?

[Ariienaa]

Because it is a question, so you just have to swap the words "they" and "are"

[SaturdayplaceTom]

...Said somebody in the Arrakis.

[uncle_mike894]

I've seen not only vår/vårt, but mi/mitt, di/ditt, etc. used both before and after the noun it's describing. Is there a rule for using the poss. adjective before or after the noun?

[ThisNameIsTaken_]

Is vart pronounced correctly in the slow version of the audio? Sounds weird
