Inntektsmeldingen kommer fra arbeidsgiveren.

In Norwegian, -en is often the definite singular ending for masculine nouns.

So:

• en inntektsmelding = an income message/report
• inntektsmeldingen = the income message/report

and

• en arbeidsgiver = an employer
• arbeidsgiveren = the employer

Unlike English, Norwegian often puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word.

The base form is inntektsmelding.

This is a compound noun:

• inntekt = income
• melding = message, notification, report

So inntektsmelding is literally something like income notification/report.

Then the definite ending is added:

• inntektsmelding → inntektsmeldingen

That s is a linking s used in many Norwegian compound words.

So the word is built like this:

• inntekt
  • melding → inntektsmelding

This s does not usually have a separate meaning by itself. It just helps connect the parts of the compound in a natural way. English has something similar in a few older formations, but Norwegian uses this kind of linking much more often.

Yes. In Norwegian, compound nouns are usually written as one word.

So Norwegian writes:

• inntektsmelding

not as separate words.

This is very important, because writing compounds as separate words can look unnatural or even change the meaning.

Kommer is the present tense of komme, meaning come.

In Norwegian, komme fra often means:

• come from
• originate from
• be sent/provided by, depending on context

So in this sentence, kommer fra arbeidsgiveren means that the income report/notification comes from the employer.

Even if English might sometimes prefer is from or is submitted by, Norwegian often naturally uses komme fra in this kind of context.

Fra means from.

So:

• kommer fra arbeidsgiveren = comes from the employer

It shows the source or origin of something.

This is normal Norwegian main-clause word order:

• subject: Inntektsmeldingen
• verb: kommer
• prepositional phrase: fra arbeidsgiveren

So it follows the basic pattern:

• Subject + Verb + Other information

That is the most neutral and natural order for a simple statement like this.

The difference is indefinite vs. definite:

• arbeidsgiver = employer / an employer
• arbeidsgiveren = the employer

In this sentence, arbeidsgiveren is definite because it refers to a specific employer, not just any employer.

Usually, fra arbeidsgiveren is the natural choice here because the sentence is talking about where the income report comes from.

• fra = from
• av = by

You might see av in other structures, especially passive ones, for example:

• Inntektsmeldingen sendes av arbeidsgiveren = The income report is sent by the employer

But in the original sentence, kommer fra is the normal phrasing.

You could make the nouns indefinite, but it would change the meaning:

• En inntektsmelding kommer fra en arbeidsgiver.

That means something more general, like An income report comes from an employer.

The original sentence is more specific:

• Inntektsmeldingen kommer fra arbeidsgiveren.
• The income report comes from the employer.

So the definite forms help show that both things are already known or specific in the situation.

A rough guide for an English speaker is:

• arbeidsgiveren ≈ AR-bye-ts-gee-ver-en

A few helpful points:

• ei in arbeid sounds somewhat like eye
• g in giver is a hard g
• the final -en is a short unstressed ending

Pronunciation varies a bit by dialect, but that approximation will help you recognize and say the word.
