"Jeg tar en appelsin."

Translation: I'm taking an orange.

[akurzias]

Can this also mean "I'll have an orange" in the same sense as "I'll take a coffee"?

[Ingebj]

Yes, at least if you nod in the direction of a bowl of assorted fruit.

[GiulioDEP1]

Can I use this also to order something at a restaurant or there's a better way to say it?

[Am7b5]

Can tar also be using like 'can I have?'
e.g. Tar jeg en applesin? (Would this be 'Can I take an apple?'

[Ingebj]

You could say: "Kan jeg ta en appelsin?", but it is more common (and sounds more polite, I would say) to use what Wylga says, "Kan jeg få en appelsin?". "Tar jeg en appelsin" would mean something like "Am I taking an orange?". And if you did grab one just then you would know, right?

[Wylga]

I think you would rather use 'kan jeg få' in that case, which translates to 'can I get'. So it would be 'kan jeg få en applesin?' But I don't know if the other one is acceptable too.

[LINHARS]

"Kan jeg ta en appelsin?" is something you can say visiting a friend and there are some oranges on the table.

"Kan jeg få et glass vann?" is something you can say if you are thirsty.

[Aleyzee]

Tar means get too?

[Henrik04]

"To get" in Norwegian is "Å få".

[emiliangooses]

Is there a difference between 'am taking' and 'took'?

[Henrik04]

"Jeg tar" means: I take / I am taking. However, "Jeg tok" means I took.
