Prisavslaget er rimelig.

Because -et is the definite singular ending for many neuter nouns in Norwegian.

• et prisavslag = a price reduction / a discount
• prisavslaget = the price reduction / the discount

The main noun here is avslag, which is a neuter noun, so the compound noun follows that pattern:

• et avslag
• avslaget

And because prisavslag is a compound built on avslag, it becomes:

• et prisavslag
• prisavslaget

In Norwegian, definiteness is often shown by an ending on the noun rather than by a separate article.

So instead of saying something like the price reduction, Norwegian often says:

• prisavslaget

The ending itself already means the.

This is very common in Norwegian:

• en bil = a car
• bilen = the car
• et hus = a house
• huset = the house

So prisavslaget already includes the idea of the.

Yes. Norwegian very often joins related nouns into one compound word, where English would often use two or more words.

Here:

• pris = price
• avslag = reduction / deduction / discount

Together:

• prisavslag = price reduction / discount

This is completely normal in Norwegian. A native speaker would usually expect this as one word, not as separate words.

Because rimelig is the correct form here.

In this sentence, rimelig is a predicate adjective: it comes after er and describes the subject.

The noun prisavslaget is singular and definite, but when an adjective is used after er, you usually use the adjective’s normal predicate form. For rimelig, that form is simply:

• rimelig

Examples:

• Tilbudet er bra.
• Huset er stort.
• Prisavslaget er rimelig.

A form like rimeligt would not be standard modern Norwegian Bokmål.

Rimelig can have a few related meanings, and that can be confusing for English speakers.

Common meanings include:

• reasonable
• fair
• modest
• sometimes not too expensive

In this sentence, the most natural sense is usually:

• reasonable
• or fair

So the sentence suggests that the price reduction seems acceptable, justified, or sensible.

This word is very common in Norwegian and often depends on context:

• en rimelig pris = a reasonable price / an affordable price
• det er rimelig å anta = it is reasonable to assume

Not exactly cheap in the strongest English sense.

Rimelig often means:

• reasonably priced
• fairly priced
• affordable

It usually sounds more neutral and positive than cheap.

So if something is rimelig, it may be inexpensive, but the word often focuses on the idea that the price or amount is fair or acceptable, not merely low.

In Prisavslaget er rimelig, the emphasis is more likely that the discount is fair/reasonable rather than cheap.

The basic order is:

Subject + verb + adjective

So:

• Prisavslaget = subject
• er = verb
• rimelig = adjective

This is very similar to English:

• The price reduction is reasonable.

Norwegian main clauses often use verb-second word order, but in a simple statement like this, that gives you the familiar pattern:

• subject first
• verb second

A rough guide is:

• Prisavslaget ≈ PREE-sahv-slah-get
• er ≈ a short air-like sound, often very reduced in normal speech
• rimelig ≈ REE-meh-li

A few helpful points:

• The r is usually rolled or tapped, depending on dialect.
• The g at the end of rimelig is often weak or softened in speech.
• The stress is usually on the first syllable of prisavslaget and rimelig.

Pronunciation varies by dialect, but this rough pattern will help.

Yes, in this sentence er is the present tense of å være (to be), so it corresponds to English is.

Examples:

• Jeg er trøtt. = I am tired.
• Hun er hjemme. = She is at home.
• Prisavslaget er rimelig. = The price reduction is reasonable.

So this part is straightforward:

• er = is / am / are, depending on the subject in English

Yes. Because of the definite form prisavslaget, it refers to a specific price reduction that both speaker and listener can identify from the context.

So it is not just any discount in general. It is the particular discount being discussed.

Compare:

• Et prisavslag er rimelig. = A price reduction is reasonable / A discount is reasonable
• Prisavslaget er rimelig. = The price reduction is reasonable

Yes, and that is a very natural alternative.

The difference is:

• Prisavslaget er rimelig = states it more directly as a fact or judgment
• Prisavslaget virker rimelig = The discount seems reasonable, which sounds a little softer or less absolute

So if you want to sound slightly more cautious, virker rimelig is often useful.

Yes, it is grammatical and natural.

That said, in real-life conversation, people might also choose slightly different wording depending on context, for example:

• Rabatten er rimelig.
• Prisavslaget virker rimelig.
• Det prisavslaget er rimelig.

But Prisavslaget er rimelig is perfectly good Norwegian and easy to understand.
