That's an accepted answer, but not the most helpful prompt for the reverse exercise.
For closed (yes/no) questions, all you need to do is place the verb first and the noun second. They switch places when you turn a statement into a question:
"Han drikker kaffe." -> "Drikker han kaffe?"
"Jeg gjør deg redd." -> "Gjør jeg deg redd?"
It's really hard to hear the last word- it sounds more like 'brett' then 'redd'. I kind of think it might be an error but hey, I may be wrong.
Agreed. The audio very clearly ends with a "t" sound. As in "rett". Is that really the way Norwegians pronounce it? Or is it more like "red" (as in the color)?
In one example redde sounds like rebbe, in this sentence redd sounds like rett... Is this normal in Norwegian, in which case could someone come along and confirm it? And if it's not normal, can something be done about the audio?
"You" is the object of the sentence, so it has to be deg.
Du and deg work the same as he/she/I and him/her/me in English. If you can replace "you" with him/her and it makes sense, use deg.
I fooled myself because of the two pronouns being side by side : I read "meg deg". My bad and thank you for the reminder
