Grammar Extras #1 - "Ja, det er jeg", "Ja, det gjør jeg" - shortcut responses!

Practice Norwegian

In this episode we're starting a new little series about small bits of helpful and useful expressions, that are common in everyday speech.

And a very helpful way of not repeating the whole phrase in a reponse to a question, we often say f.ex. "Yes, I can" or "Yes, I do".

Ex:

Kan du sykle? Ja, det kan jeg.

Vil du spise? Ja, det vil jeg.

Sykler du til jobben? Ja det gjør jeg.

The rule is this: kan, vil, skal, må + er/har in the question => repeat the verb in the response. All others verbs as question => put "gjør" in the response.

Fill-ins:

Er du glad i dag? Ja, det ... jeg.

Kan du spille gitar? Ja, det ... jeg.

Drikker du kaffe? Ja, det ... jeg.

..

Great! Well done :)) 😊
