#27 Norwegian excitement ... is three different emotions! - So exciting! Så spennende! [vokabular]
Description
Ever wonder why “I’m excited” in English never seems to land quite right in Norwegian? We unpack the three routes Norwegians typically take—spent, så glad, and giret—and show how each one maps to a different feeling: curiosity about the unknown, warm happiness with gratitude, and buzzing, physical energy that pushes you to act.
If this helped refine your Norwegian, follow the show, share it with a friend who’s learning, and leave a quick review so others can find it. Have a question or a sentence you want checked? Send it my way—I love hearing your examples and helping you fine‑tune them.
