Flerbarnsdagene kan deles.

Because Norwegian normally writes compound nouns as a single word.

So where English might use several words, Norwegian often joins them:

• school bus → one compound in Norwegian
• child care days → likely one compound in Norwegian

Here, flerbarnsdagene is one compound noun, not a phrase of separate words.

-ene marks the noun as definite plural.

So flerbarnsdagene means the flerbarns days / the multiple-child days, depending on the context already given to the learner.

A useful pattern is:

• en flerbarnsdag = an/a flerbarnsdag
• flerbarnsdager = flerbarnsdager / days
• flerbarnsdagene = the flerbarnsdager / the days

In Norwegian, the idea of the is often added as an ending instead of a separate word.

The dictionary form is flerbarnsdag.

Its main forms are:

• en flerbarnsdag — indefinite singular
• flerbarnsdagen — definite singular
• flerbarnsdager — indefinite plural
• flerbarnsdagene — definite plural

So the sentence uses the definite plural form.

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

It usually does not have a separate meaning of its own. It just helps join parts of a compound together more naturally.

So in flerbarnsdagene, the -s- is part of how the compound is formed. English speakers often want a direct translation for it, but usually there is none.

Kan is the present tense of kunne, and it often means can, may, or be able to.

In this sentence, it shows possibility or permission/allowance, depending on context:

• kan deles = can be shared/divided

So kan is the finite verb of the sentence.

Because after a modal verb like kan, Norwegian normally uses the next verb without å.

Common modal verbs include:

• kan
• skal
• må
• vil
• bør

Examples:

• Jeg kan komme.
• Du må gå.
• Det skal gjøres.

So kan deles is correct, not kan å deles.

Because this sentence is using a passive form.

Compare:

• kan dele = can share/divide
  Someone is doing the action.
• kan deles = can be shared/divided
  The focus is on the thing receiving the action.

So:

• Foreldrene kan dele flerbarnsdagene. = The parents can share the days.
• Flerbarnsdagene kan deles. = The days can be shared.

In your sentence, Norwegian does not say who does the sharing. It just says that the days can be shared.

Here it is best understood as a passive form used after kan.

The form with -s can look like a present-tense form, but after a modal verb it functions as the passive equivalent of the infinitive:

• kan dele = can share/divide
• kan deles = can be shared/divided

So for a learner, the most useful thing to notice is: after kan, deles means passive: can be shared/divided.

Yes. Both are passive constructions, and both can often be translated as can be shared/divided.

• kan deles = shorter, very common, compact
• kan bli delt = also correct, sometimes a bit more explicit or event-focused

In a sentence like this, kan deles sounds very natural.

Because Norwegian main clauses normally put the finite verb in the second position.

Here:

1. Flerbarnsdagene = first element
2. kan = finite verb in second position
3. deles = non-finite/passive verb form

This is a very common Norwegian pattern.

For example:

• Flerbarnsdagene kan deles.
• I noen tilfeller kan flerbarnsdagene deles.

Even when something else comes first, the finite verb still tends to stay in second position.
