Hei!

1.You want to find out how your friend's apartment looks like.
= Du vil vite hvordan din venns leilighet ser ut.

2.A classmate wants to know your monthly rent.
=En klassekamerat vil vite (din månedlige husleie/den månedlige husleien din).

3.You cannot find your Vietnamese textbook. 
= Du kan ikke finne (læreboka di i vietnamesisk/vietnamesiskboka di/den
vietnamesiske læreboka din). (The last option can be interpreted as "your text
book from Vietnam". Languages are not spelled with capital letter in Norwegian.
If you use "di" and "ei" in stead of "din" and "en" you should use -a in stead
of -en at the end of feminine word such as "bok".)

4.Your friend doesn't have time to buy a VN-English dictionary.
= Din venn har ikke tid til å kjøpe ei VN-engelsk ordbok.

5.You want to find out how much a house costs.

-S-

5.You want to find out how much a house costs. 
= Du vil vite hva et hus koster.

Isn't it more common to say "du vil vite hvor mye et hus koster".  Just as for a
question, it's 'more' colloquial or natural to say "hvor mye koster et hus?",
rather than "hva koster et hus?".  Jeg har faktisk aldri hørt den andre
versjonen.  Perhaps it depends on if you're speaking or writing.  Spoken and
written forms are somewhat different.

Mvh,

Ole
