"Jeg kan ikke løpe med en kopp kaffe."

Translation: I can't run with a cup of coffee.

[kminsinger]

Hence why I don't run in the morning.

why isn't coffee cup correct?

[klart]

Coffee cup = kaffekopp, i.e. a cup used for coffee. "En kopp kaffe" = "a cup of coffee", i.e. coffee contained in a cup.

[john_geo91]

takk ;)

[Ingebj]

A coffee cup = en kaffekopp, while a cup of coffee is "en kopp kaffe". Similarly you have "et vinglass" and "et glass vin" and " en tekopp" and "en kopp te".

[john_geo91]

takk ;)

[Tom642395]

Jeg kan ikke gå UTEN en kopp kaffe. Eller to.

Why 'one' cup of coffee is not accepted?

[Anuan_Rithe]

That wouldn't sound natural in English, as 'a' is often used as a generic, rather than specific, singular. It's a hard concept to explain, but essentially 'I can't run with one cup of coffee" would only really sound normal in reference or reply to a discussing someone that was hypothetically running with several cups of coffee.

[cindsardella]

quite difficult indeed.

Only for Norwegians.

If løpe is to run, what is 'to walk' again?

[Kay.Oats]

I think it's 'å gå.'

[Richard842034]

Because the coffee always chooses to work out at the gym (it's all that caffeine).

[Adam796007]

I don't see why not.

[AshleyRose89]

Not with that attitude!
