Questions & Answers about Motspilleren ser bløffen.

What does motspilleren mean, and how is it built?

Motspilleren means the opponent.

It is built from:

• mot- = against / counter-
• spiller = player
• -en = the definite ending, roughly the

So:

• en motspiller = an opponent
• motspilleren = the opponent

In a game context, this is a very natural word for the person on the other side.

Why is there no separate word for the in Norwegian?

In Norwegian, the definite article is often attached to the end of the noun instead of standing before it.

So instead of saying:

• the opponent
• the bluff

Norwegian says:

• motspilleren
• bløffen

This is very common in Norwegian:

• en bil = a car
• bilen = the car
• en spiller = a player
• spilleren = the player

So in this sentence, both nouns are definite:

• motspilleren = the opponent
• bløffen = the bluff

Why does both motspilleren and bløffen end in -en?
