    Verbs
    Verbs in the present tense

    You add –r to the infinitive to form the present tense:

    Infinitive   Present tense


    å komme  to come  →  kommer
    å reise to travel  → reiser

    It does not matter who is carrying out the verb. You add –r
    to the infinitive form of the verb after all pronouns: I, you,
    he, she, it, we, you and they:

    Jeg kommer fra England.

    I come from England


    Anna kommer fra Italia.

    Anna comes from Italy.


    Vi kommer fra Norge.

    We come from Norway.

    Note that some verbs have irregular present tense forms:

    Infinitive   Present tense


    å være to be  →  er
    å gjøre  to do  →  gjør

    Nouns
    Norwegian nouns have three genders: masculine, feminine
    and

    neuter. The indefinite articles are en (masculine), ei


    (feminine) and

    et (neuter). The corresponding indefinite articles in English


    are a/an.

    Masculine:  en brus  a soda


    Feminine: ei jente a girl
    Neuter: et kart a map
    (Feminine nouns can have the article en instead of ei: ei/en
    jente.)

    Leaving out en/ei/et


    When stating certain situations you can leave out en/ei/et:

    Ken reiser med tog.

    Ken travels by train.

    The same applies i.e. for occupations:

    Jeg er student.

    I am a student.

    Conjunctions
    The conjunctions og (and) and men (but) connect sentences:

    Jeg heter Anna, og jeg kommer fra Italia.

    My name is Anna, and I come from Italy.


    Jeg snakker italiensk, men jeg snakker ikke tysk.

    I speak Italian, but I do not speak German.

    Question words
    The most common question words are

    hva what
    hvem who
    hvor where (how)
    hvordan how
     
    Hva heter du? What is your name?
    Hvem er det? Who is it?
    Hvor bor du? Where do you live?
    Hvor gammel er du?  How old are you?
    Hvordan går det? How are you?

    Word order
    Main clauses (sentences)
    In a main clause the verb is the second element:

    Jeg snakker norsk.

    I speak Norwegian.

    Negation
    In a narrative clause the negation ikke (not), which is an
    adverb, usually comes after the verb:

    Jeg snakker ikke spansk.

    I do not speak Spanish.

    Other adverbs like også (also/too) come after the verb as


    well:

    Jeg snakker også spansk.

    I also speak Spanish.

    Questions
    In questions with question words the verb is also the second
    element:

    Hva heter du?

    What is your name?


    Hvor kommer du fra?

    Where do you come from?

    In questions without a question word the sentence starts


    with the verb:

    Snakker du norsk?

    Do you speak Norwegian?
