How to talk about hobbies in Norwegian

In Norwegian, you can talk about your hobbies by using verbs like “å like” (to like) and “å elske” (to love). For example: “Jeg liker å reise.” (I like to travel.) or “Jeg elsker å lage mat!” (I love to cook!). You can ask someone about their hobbies by saying “Hva liker du å gjøre på fritiden din?” (What do you like to do in your free time?). To respond, you can say “Jeg liker (insert hobby)”.

Here are some popular hobbies in Norwegian:
