Kunden var frekk mot meg.

Because -en on the end is the definite article in Norwegian.

• en kunde = a customer
• kunden = the customer

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

Var is the past tense of å være (to be).

So:

• er = is / am / are
• var = was / were

In this sentence, Kunden var frekk mot meg, var means was.

Frekk usually means rude, impolite, cheeky, or insolent, depending on context.

In this sentence, it most naturally means rude:

• Kunden var frekk mot meg = The customer was rude to me

Be aware that frekk can sometimes also mean something like bold or even naughty in other contexts, so the exact shade of meaning depends on the situation.

Because the adjective frekk normally goes with the preposition mot when you say who someone was rude to.

• frekk mot noen = rude to someone

So:

• mot = toward / against / to, depending on context
• meg = me

Together, mot meg means to me here.

Because meg is the object form of the pronoun, while jeg is the subject form.

• jeg = I
• meg = me

Since the speaker is the person receiving the action/attitude, Norwegian uses meg:

• Hun så meg = She saw me
• Kunden var frekk mot meg = The customer was rude to me

Yes. Mot often means against or toward, but in some expressions it corresponds to English to.

Examples:

• Han gikk mot døra. = He walked toward the door.
• De er mot planen. = They are against the plan.
• Hun var snill mot meg. = She was kind to me.
• Kunden var frekk mot meg. = The customer was rude to me.

So the translation depends on the word or phrase it appears with.

Yes, this is the normal basic Norwegian word order for a simple statement:

Subject + verb + adjective + prepositional phrase

• Kunden = subject
• var = verb
• frekk = adjective/predicative
• mot meg = prepositional phrase

So the structure is very close to English:

• The customer was rude to me

Yes. Adjectives in Norwegian can change depending on gender, number, and whether they are used definitely.

For frekk, common forms are:

• en frekk kunde = a rude customer
• ei frekk dame = a rude lady
• et frekt svar = a rude answer
• frekke kunder = rude customers
• den frekke kunden = the rude customer

But in Kunden var frekk mot meg, frekk comes after var, so it stays in its basic form here.

Yes. Uhøflig means impolite or rude, and it is a good alternative.

The difference is mostly in tone:

• frekk often sounds stronger, more like cheeky, rude, or insolent
• uhøflig can sound a bit more formal or neutral, more like impolite

So both can work, but frekk often feels more direct and personal.

A rough guide is frekk ≈ freck in English, but with a Norwegian r and a short vowel.

A simple learner-friendly approximation:

• frekk → freck
• meg → roughly mai in many dialects, though pronunciation varies

If you are learning Bokmål pronunciation, it is best to listen to native audio, because Norwegian pronunciation varies a lot by dialect.

Yes, absolutely. It sounds natural and everyday.

You could use it in situations like:

• talking about bad service
• describing an unpleasant interaction
• explaining why you were upset

It is a normal, useful sentence for spoken Norwegian.
