Episode 8 (of 8) from the beginning of Marcel Proust's Masterpiece "In Search of Lost Time". 

The process of falling asleep and waking up has been thoroughly detailed in these opening pages - alluding to the process of imagination, reading, the literary world and it's relationship to the real and physical world. With this opening Proust is in some ways laying the ground for a journey through 4.000 pages of life and thinking, and the gradual development of the mind from early childhood into an adult stage of life.

Vi avslutter med dette åpningen av På Sporet av den Tapte Tid, med Marcel's tanker om minner, forestillingsevnen, og forholdet mellom drømmer, litteratur - og livet. 

Takk for følget, 

thanks for listening! :)

Marcel is remembering a series of different rooms from his childhood, from both summers and winters with joys and troubles, and how the habit is a mitigating mechanism which could help us to accept various situations and environments which we at first might react very strongly to. This points to a much bigger theme in the whole work - regarding Habit and its nature!

I denne episoden går Marcel gjennom en rekke av de værelser han har sovet i som liten gutt, og de effektene de hadde på ham. Tilslutt reflekterer han over vanens natur og hvordan man kan tilpasse seg situasjoner som først trenger enkelte tilpasninger for å bli beboelige.

In Norwegian there are three versions of an adjective; for male/female singular, netural singular, and for the plurals.

So a word like "nice" could be "fin", "fint" or "fine".

Example:

Fill-ins:

Great work!

In Norwegian there are two forms of most adverbs like up, down, in, out, home, away etc.

Example:

Fill in:

Great work!

In Norwegian we have the helping verbs "skal, vil, kan, må" meaning "shall, will, can, must".

The general rule is this:

Helping verb + infinitve form (without the "å")

Examples:

Changing this to future (with skal):

In episode 6 (of 8) from "In Search of Lost Time" - Marcel is remembering a different part of his past, many years later than his childhood in Combray. The fragments of early life keep warming up and appearing vividly for him.

Marcel husker plutselig et annet rom, en annen tid, fra sin fortid som ung person. Hukommelsen bringer frem nye fragmenter levende tilbake, mens han fortsetter å gradvis drømme seg innover til tidligere perioder av livet sitt.

Enjoy!
