Questions & Answers about Utflyttingsdatoen står i oppsigelsen.

Why is utflyttingsdatoen written as one long word?

Because Norwegian very often makes compound nouns by joining words together.

Here, utflyttingsdatoen is built like this:

• utflytting = moving out
• dato = date
• -en = the definite ending, so the date

So utflyttingsdatoen means the moving-out date.

This is very normal in Norwegian. Where English often uses several separate words, Norwegian often prefers one compound word.

What is the -s- doing in utflyttingsdatoen?

That -s- is a linking sound/letter used in many Norwegian compounds. It does not by itself add a separate meaning like possession in English.

So:

• utflytting
  • dato
• becomes utflyttingsdato

You just have to learn these compound forms as they come up, because sometimes Norwegian uses a linking -s-, and sometimes it does not.

Why does the sentence use -en at the end of utflyttingsdatoen and oppsigelsen?
