Exploring | Norwegian Grammar

Norwegian uses a unique suffix system for definiteness rather than a separate word like "the." : en bil (a car), et hus (a house). Definite : bil en (the car), hus et (the house).

One of the most critical structural elements in Norwegian is the . In a main clause, regardless of what element comes first (subject, time expression, or adverb), the verb must always be in the second position . Standard SVO : Jeg (1) spiser (2) eplet. (I eat the apple.)

: en norsk lærer (a teacher who happens to be Norwegian).
