Questions & Answers about Bildet avslører problemet.

Why do bildet and problemet end in -et?

Because both nouns are neuter singular definite forms.

• et bilde = a picture

• bildet = the picture

• et problem = a problem
• problemet = the problem

In Norwegian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like English the.

For neuter nouns, that ending is often -et.

Why is there no separate word for the in this sentence?

Norwegian usually puts definiteness on the noun itself.

So instead of:

• English: the picture, the problem

you get:

• Norwegian: bildet, problemet

This is one of the biggest differences from English. The noun ending is doing the job that the does in English.
