Notes

En kopp and Et glass is a bit tricky. When you want to say, "A cup/glass of water", you would say "En kopp/glass vann". You don't include the "av" to represent "of", like you do in English. Here are some translations:

A cup of sugar - En kopp sukker
A cup of fish - En kopp fisk
A cup of milk - En kopp melk

A glass of sugar - Et glass sukker
A glass of fish - Et glass fisk
A glass of milk - Et glass melk

Understand? Great!
