"Han er veldig interessant."

Translation: He's very interesting.

This is my third language on duolingo (French and German being the others) and I find it very interesting that "interessant" is the same across the three languages. Excited for more :)

[AntoinedeG1]

Dutch as well!

[papkos]

How would you say 'He is very interested (in something)'?

[alek_d]

Han er veldig interessert (i noe).

[papkos]

Thanks!

I may have massively misunderstood some translations, but why isn't it: kjempeinteressant

[Deliciae]

That's among the accepted answers.

[OddBunsen]

I looked kjempeinteressant up on google translate and it said that it meant "fight interesting". Is it supposed to be very interesting?

[Deliciae]

Yes. Google Translate is highly entertaining, but not very reliable.

"Å kjempe" means to fight, so that's where the error comes from.

[OddBunsen]

thanks!

When pronouncing, the "g" in "veldig" is silent?

[JenniferTauber]

Yes the "g" is always silent in the "ig" ending

[stfzzed]

Thank you!

[Tattamin]

Steve Davis?

That is definitely an "-ng" sound in the pronounciation of 'interessant'.

[Deliciae]

As there should be.

Sometimes we like to pretend we're a little more refined than we really are. ;)

Sounds the same as with restaurant, which is also borrowed from French.
