Lesson 11: SKAL DU HANDLE MAT I DAG? [PART 4]

Different ways of asking if you would like something else:

1. Var det alt? = Is that all?
   
2. Er det alt? – Is that all?
   
3. Var det noe annet? - Was there anything else?
   
4. Noe annet? = Something else?
   
5. Skal det være noe annet? – Would you like anything else?
   
6. Vil du ha noe annet? - Do you want anything else?

+ Takk, det klarer seg - That's enough (fine)

+ Takk, det var alt – That's all, thank you 

 

Obviously is sufficient to know only one expression of the aforementioned but I think that knowing all of them will prevent potential mishaps in store ;)

When you finished shopping and you want to pay

1. Hvor mye blir det? - How much is it (all)?

+ Det blir ___ 

Paying by card?

1. Godtar du kredittkort? = Do you accept credit cards?
   
2. Tar du kredittkort? = Do you take credit cards?

When you paid for your goods, often the cashier asks if you want a receipt/ or you may ask yourself if you need one:

1. Vil du ha kvittering? = Will you have receipt?
   
2. Kan jeg få en kvittering? = Could I have a receipt, please?

Also, it is quite often that the cashier asks if you would like to have a bag / or you may ask yourself if you need one

1. Vil du ha en pose? = Will you have a bag?
   
2. Kan jeg få en pose? = Could I have a bag, please?

Change...

1. Jeg har ikke vekslepenger = I don’t have a change
   
2. Her er vekslepengene = Here is your change 
   
3. Jeg kan ikke gi tilbake. Jeg har ikke vekslepenger. = I cant give you back (money) I don’t have a change  

• å veksle penger = to change/exchange money --> you write separately
  
• vekslepenger = a change (in terms of money e.g. coins) --> you write together
  
  but:

• en endring = to change attitude
  
• å skifte = to change for example clothes
