Questions & Answers about Svaret avgjør resultatet.

Why do svaret and resultatet both end in -et?

Because Norwegian usually puts the definite article on the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like the.

So here:

• svar → svaret = the answer
• resultat → resultatet = the result / the outcome

The ending -et is the definite singular ending for many neuter nouns.

What are the indefinite forms of these nouns?

The indefinite singular forms are:

• et svar = an answer
• et resultat = a result / an outcome

Both are et-words, which means they are neuter nouns. That is why the definite forms become svaret and resultatet.
