🇳🇴 Norwegian A1: Hjemmet (Lesson 8)

Rooms in the house in Norwegian

This A1 lesson teaches the words for a Norwegian home: house and flat, the main rooms, the door and the window. Each card adds a tip, such as the definite form (stua, døra), a plural (vinduer) or how to pronounce the kj in kjøkken.

What you will learn

• hus — house — et hus, huset = the house
• leilighet — flat, apartment
• stue — living room — ei stue, stua = the living room
• kjøkken — kitchen — kj is a soft sound, like the ch in German ich
• soverom — bedroom — literally sleep room
• bad — bathroom — the toilet is toalettet or do
• dør — door — ei dør, døra = the door
• vindu — window — et vindu, to vinduer

Practice questions

1. Soverom literally means… Options: sleep room, sofa room, quiet room.
2. Where do you cook? Options: i stua, på badet, på kjøkkenet.
3. What is en leilighet? Options: a house, a flat or apartment, a garden.
4. The living room: Options: stue, stuer, stua.

How the lesson works

Start with the flashcards: each card shows one item with a picture cue and a short tip. Then you listen and tap the right picture, match words to meanings, say each one out loud, build the sentence from word tiles, and listen and type what you hear. Finish with the quiz: a wrong answer costs a heart, and at the end you can practise your mistakes or restart the lesson. Completing the lesson earns XP and keeps your daily streak alive.

Why it matters

You need these words to read a rental ad on Finn.no, describe your flat, or tell a guest where the bathroom is. Notice the prepositions too: you are i stua (in the living room) but på kjøkkenet and på badet.
