Questions & Answers about Minnekortet er fullt.

Why is it minnekortet and not et minnekort?

Because minnekortet is the definite form of the noun: the memory card.

• et minnekort = a memory card
• minnekortet = the memory card

In Norwegian, definiteness is often shown by adding an ending to the noun instead of using a separate word like the.

Since minnekort is a neuter noun, the definite singular ending is -et:

• et kort → kortet
• et minnekort → minnekortet

What does minnekort literally mean?

It literally means memory card.

It is a compound noun:

• minne = memory
• kort = card

Norwegian often forms nouns by joining words together, just like English does with words such as toothbrush or bedroom.
