Blikket hans følger bilen.

Because blikket is the definite singular form of the noun blikk.

• et blikk = an eye movement / a look / a glance
• blikket = the look / the gaze

Norwegian usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like the in English.

Since blikk is a neuter noun, its definite singular ending is -et.

In Norwegian, possessives often come after the noun:

• blikket hans = his gaze
• bilen hennes = her car

When the possessive comes after the noun, the noun is usually in the definite form, which is why you get blikket hans, not blikk hans.

You can also put the possessive before the noun:

• hans blikk

But that often sounds more formal, literary, or emphatic. In everyday Norwegian, blikket hans is very natural.

This is a very common question.

Sin/sitt/sine is a reflexive possessive, used when something belongs to the subject of the clause. But it normally cannot be used inside the subject phrase itself.

Here, Blikket hans is the subject of the sentence. Because the possessive is part of that subject phrase, Norwegian uses hans, not sitt.

Compare:

• Blikket hans følger bilen.
  The subject is blikket hans.

But if the subject were a person, then reflexive possessive could be used elsewhere in the sentence:

• Han følger bilen med blikket sitt.
  Here han is the subject, and sitt refers back to han.

So in your sentence, hans is the correct form.

Følger is the present tense of the verb å følge.

• å følge = to follow
• følger = follows / is following

In Norwegian, the present tense is the same for all persons:

• jeg følger
• du følger
• han følger
• vi følger

So unlike English, Norwegian does not change the present-tense verb depending on the subject in the same way.

Bilen is the definite singular form of bil:

• en bil = a car
• bilen = the car

So the sentence is talking about a specific car, not just any car. That is why the definite form is used.

If you said følger en bil, that would mean the gaze is following a car, with less specificity.

This sentence has the normal Norwegian main clause word order:

Subject + verb + object

• Blikket hans = subject
• følger = verb
• bilen = object

So structurally it is very straightforward.

A useful thing to remember is that Norwegian is a V2 language, which means the finite verb usually comes in the second position in main clauses. In this simple sentence, that gives the same order English uses.

For example:

• Nå følger blikket hans bilen.
  Here nå comes first, and the verb følger still stays in second position.

It can mean several related things, depending on context.

Blikk can refer to:

• a look
• a glance
• a gaze

In this sentence, because the gaze is tracking the car, gaze or look is probably the most natural interpretation. A glance often sounds shorter or more momentary in English.

So the exact English wording can vary, but the Norwegian noun blikk covers that general idea.

Here it means following it with the eyes / with the gaze, not physically moving after it.

The verb å følge can be used in both ways:

• physically follow someone or something
• visually follow something with your eyes
• follow a story, explanation, or argument

In this sentence, the subject is blikket hans, so the meaning is clearly that his gaze tracks the car.

Yes, that is grammatically correct.

Both are possible:

• Blikket hans følger bilen
• Hans blikk følger bilen

But they do not feel exactly the same.

Blikket hans is the more everyday, natural pattern in many contexts.
Hans blikk can sound more literary, formal, or slightly more focused on his in contrast with someone else.

So a learner should recognize both, but blikket hans is a very useful default pattern.
