With the new year coming, I thought it would be appropriate to write about it in Norwegian. In my family, we have usually had Turkey for dinner on new years eve. You can serve it with whatever you want, but a personal classic is creamed potatoes (dauphinoise potatoes). Not very Norwegian, I guess.
nyttårsaften - new years eve
første nyttårsdag - new years day
en kalkun - a turkey
fyrverkeri - fireworks
nyttårsfest/party - new years party
totusen og tretten - twothousand and thirteen
nyttårsforsetter - new years resolutions
"Jeg skal trene mer" - I shall work out more
"Jeg skal spise sunnere" - I shall eat healthier
"Jeg skal spare mer penger" - I shall save more money
"Jeg skal ringe mamma oftere" - I shall call mom more often
"Jeg skal ikke glemme noen bursdager" - I shall not forget any birthdays
"Jeg skal bli flinkere til å lese til eksamen" - I shall get better at reading for the exams
Do you have any resolutions you'd like to say in Norwegian? What do you do on new years eve?
