Questions & Answers about Minilageret åpner i dag.

Why does minilageret end in -et?

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

So:

• et minilager = a mini-storage unit / a self-storage facility
• minilageret = the mini-storage unit / the self-storage facility

The ending -et shows that the noun is:

• singular
• definite
• neuter gender

This is very common in Norwegian.

Why is minilageret written as one word?

Because Norwegian normally writes compound nouns as one word.

So mini + lager becomes:

• minilager

Then the definite ending is added:

• minilageret

English often uses separate words where Norwegian prefers compounds, so this is something English speakers need to get used to.
