What does each word in Vi spør eksperten mean?

Why is it spør and not spørre?

Spørre is the infinitive, meaning to ask.

In a normal present-tense sentence, Norwegian usually uses the present form, which for this verb is spør:

• å spørre = to ask
• spør = ask / asks / am asking / are asking / is asking, depending on the subject

Examples:

• Jeg spør = I ask / I am asking
• Vi spør = We ask / We are asking

Norwegian verbs do not change for person the way English verbs sometimes do. So:

• jeg spør
• du spør
• han spør
• vi spør

all use the same present-tense form spør.
