Questions & Answers about Salgsdokumentet viser betalingsfristen.

Why does salgsdokumentet end in -et?

Because -et is the definite ending for a singular neuter noun in Norwegian. It works like the in English.

• et salgsdokument = a sales document
• salgsdokumentet = the sales document

So instead of putting a separate word before the noun, Norwegian often adds the definite article to the end of the noun.

Why does betalingsfristen end in -en instead of -et?

Because frist is a common-gender noun in this sentence, not a neuter noun.

• en betalingsfrist = a payment deadline
• betalingsfristen = the payment deadline

So:

• -en is a common singular definite ending
• -et is a neuter singular definite ending

That is why the two nouns in the sentence have different endings.
