Vi overtar i morgen.

Because Norwegian often uses the present tense for the future when the time is already clear from the sentence.

So Vi overtar i morgen is completely natural: the phrase i morgen already tells you this is in the future.

English can do something similar too:

• We leave tomorrow
• We start next week

So even though overtar is grammatically present tense, the full sentence clearly refers to a future event.

The infinitive is å overta.

A quick breakdown:

• å overta = to take over
• overtar = take over / am taking over / are taking over in the present tense, depending on the subject

With vi, it means:

• vi overtar = we take over / we are taking over

Norwegian verbs do not change for person the way English does. So the same present-tense form is used with jeg, du, vi, de, etc.

Yes, you often can.

Norwegian has both:

• å overta
• å ta over

And in many situations they mean almost the same thing.

So these can both be natural:

• Vi overtar i morgen
• Vi tar over i morgen

Very generally:

• overtar / overta can sound a bit more formal, official, or written
• tar over / ta over is very common in everyday speech

In contexts like housing, contracts, work responsibility, or business, overta is especially common.

The sentence does not need an object if the thing being taken over is already understood from context.

For example, it could mean:

• taking over a house or apartment
• taking over a job or role
• taking over a shift
• taking over responsibility
• taking over a company or project

So Vi overtar i morgen can stand on its own if everyone already knows what we are taking over.

This is very common in real life. For example, if a couple has been talking about a new apartment, Vi overtar i morgen could naturally mean We take possession tomorrow.

No. You can move it.

Both of these are natural:

• Vi overtar i morgen
• I morgen overtar vi

The difference is mostly about focus and style:

• Vi overtar i morgen starts with we
• I morgen overtar vi starts with tomorrow, so the time gets more emphasis

But if you move i morgen to the front, Norwegian keeps the verb in second position. That is an important word-order rule.

So:

• I morgen overtar vi = correct
• I morgen vi overtar = not correct as a normal main clause

Both can mean roughly the same thing, but they feel slightly different.

• Vi overtar i morgen
  This sounds direct and matter-of-fact. It often suggests a scheduled or agreed event.

• Vi skal overta i morgen
  This more explicitly marks the future and can sound like we are going to take over tomorrow or we are supposed to take over tomorrow.

So the version without skal is often very natural when the plan is already fixed.

Not in a word-for-word English sense.

I morgen is just the standard Norwegian expression for tomorrow. You should learn it as a whole time phrase.

So even though i often means in, here you should not translate it too literally as in tomorrow. It simply means tomorrow.

This kind of thing is normal in languages: the preposition used in one language does not always match the one used in another.

Yes. Å overta is broad, and the exact English translation depends on the situation.

It can mean things like:

• take over
• assume responsibility
• take possession
• succeed someone in a role

For example:

• at work: We take over tomorrow
• in housing: We take possession tomorrow
• in a business setting: We assume control tomorrow

So the Norwegian sentence stays the same, but the best English wording may change with context.

For a negative statement, add ikke after the finite verb:

• Vi overtar ikke i morgen.
  = We are not taking over tomorrow.

For a yes/no question, Norwegian usually puts the verb first:

• Overtar vi i morgen?
  = Are we taking over tomorrow?

If you use the two-word verb instead, you get:

• Vi tar ikke over i morgen.
• Tar vi over i morgen?

These are very useful patterns to practice:

• statement: Vi overtar i morgen.
• negative: Vi overtar ikke i morgen.
• question: Overtar vi i morgen?
