No: "Hei, Katrine," svarte han med et lett smil. En: "Hi, Katrine," he replied with a slight smile. No: "Ikke helt din type fest, antar jeg? En: "Not exactly your type of party, I guess?"

En: She might not have solved all her emotional knots, but she had taken a step towards acceptance—acceptance of herself. No: Svein hadde hjulpet henne med å se at hun ikke var alene, at hun var ok akkurat slik hun var. En: Svein had helped her see that she was not alone, that she was okay just as she was.

    Fluent Fiction - Norwegian: Lost and Found: A Heartwarming Christmas Quest in Oslo Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more: fluentfiction.com/no/episode/2025-12-12-23-34-02-no Story Transcript: No: Det var julestemning i luften da Eirik og Sigrid gikk gjennom Oslos julemarked. En: There was a Christmas spirit in the air when Eirik and Sigrid walked through Oslo's Christmas market. No: Lysene glitret i trærne, og duften av gløgg og pepperkaker omkranset dem. En: The lights sparkled in the trees, and the scent of gløgg and gingerbread surrounded them. No: Snøen dalte forsiktig ned over de brosteinsbelagte stiene, og folk hastet forbi på jakt etter julegaver. En: Snow gently fell over the cobblestone paths, and people hurried by in search of Christmas gifts. No: Eirik trakk pusten dypt, forsøkte å la optimismen overvinne frykten inni ham. En: Eirik took a deep breath, trying to let optimism overcome the fear inside him. No: Forrige uke hadde han vært på markedet med familien. En: Last week, he had been at the market with his family. No: Da de kom hjem, oppdaget han at familiearvestykket, en liten sølvbrokade, var borte. En: When they got home, he discovered that the family heirloom, a small silver brocade, was missing. No: Det var altfor verdifullt til å miste. En: It was far too valuable to lose. No: Nå ønsket han bare én ting: å finne det før markedet lukket, og bevise at han ikke var så uforsiktig som familiens stadig fryktet. En: Now, he wished for just one thing: to find it before the market closed and prove that he wasn't as careless as his family constantly feared. No: Sigrid, mer skeptisk enn optimistisk, hadde tilbudt å hjelpe. En: Sigrid, more skeptical than optimistic, had offered to help. No: "Vi begynner ved inngangen," sa hun bestemt, "og går systematisk gjennom hver bod." En: "We'll start at the entrance," she said firmly, "and go systematically through each stall." No: Eirik nikket, takknemlig for hennes praktiske tankegang. En: Eirik nodded, grateful for her practical mindset. No: De begynte å tråle bodene. En: They began to comb through the stalls. No: Ved den første boden luktet det av nybakte lefser, men ingen brokade. En: At the first stall, there was the smell of freshly baked lefser, but no brocade. No: Den neste var fylt med håndlagde stearinlys i alle regnbuens farger. En: The next was filled with handmade candles in all the colors of the rainbow. No: De måtte bruke øynene godt, men ingen flik av sølv dukket opp der heller. En: They had to use their eyes well, but no hint of silver appeared there either. No: Tiden gikk raskt. En: Time went fast. No: Mens de bevegde seg fra stall til stall, kunne Eirik føle nervene stramme seg. En: As they moved from stall to stall, Eirik could feel his nerves tightening. No: Han tenkte på slektningene som trodde han var en drømmer uten mål og retning. En: He thought about the relatives who believed he was a dreamer without goals and direction. No: Sigrid så på ham og kunne tydelig se at smilet hans begynte å visne. En: Sigrid looked at him and could clearly see that his smile was starting to fade. No: "Vi finner den, Eirik," sa hun oppmuntrende. En: "We will find it, Eirik," she said encouragingly. No: "Det er ikke over før vi treffer den siste boden." En: "It's not over until we hit the last stall." No: Så, mens de nesten var klare til å gi opp, fanget noe glitrende øynene til Eirik. En: Then, just as they were about to give up, something shiny caught Eirik's eye. No: Under et bord, ved en bod som solgte håndlagde juleornamenter, lå brokaden. En: Under a table, at a stall selling handmade Christmas ornaments, lay the brocade. No: Eirik bøyde seg raskt ned og plukket den opp med skjelvende hender. En: Eirik quickly bent down and picked it up with trembling hands. No: "Se her!" ropte han, hjertet fylt med glede. En: "Look here!" he shouted, his heart filled with joy. No: Stallens eier, en gammel dame med vennlige øyne, smilte og sa: "Den lå her etter markedet en dag, jeg tenkte noen ville komme tilbake etter den." En: The stall's owner, an old lady with kind eyes, smiled and said, "It was lying here after the market one day, I thought someone would come back for it." No: Eirik takket henne oppriktig. En: Eirik thanked her sincerely. No: Han så på Sigrid med nye øyne; hennes tålmodighet og systematiske tilnærming hadde betalt seg. En: He looked at Sigrid with new eyes; her patience and systematic approach had paid off. No: Mens de forlot markedet, følte Eirik seg annerledes. En: As they left the market, Eirik felt different. No: For første gang var han mer selvsikker på at han kunne håndtere utfordringer og ta ansvar. En: For the first time, he was more confident that he could handle challenges and take responsibility. No: Og Sigrid, som alltid hadde trodd han var litt for bekymringsløst, så nå at det fantes en dybde der som hun ikke hadde lagt merke til før. En: And Sigrid, who had always thought he was a bit too carefree, now saw that there was a depth there she hadn't noticed before. No: Det var jul i Oslo, og alle lysene skinte litt klarere den kvelden. En: It was Christmas in Oslo, and all the lights shone a bit brighter that evening. No: Det lille arvestykket var ikke bare funnet, men Eirik følte at han også hadde funnet en ny del av seg selv. En: The little heirloom was not only found, but Eirik felt that he had also found a new part of himself.
