Questions & Answers about Hun kontrollerer planen grundig.
Why is it planen and not just plan?
Because planen is the definite form of plan.
- en plan = a plan
- planen = the plan
In Norwegian, the definite article is often attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like the in English.
So:
- Hun kontrollerer plan would sound incomplete or unnatural here
- Hun kontrollerer planen = She checks the plan
What form of the verb is kontrollerer?
Kontrollerer is the present tense of å kontrollere.
- å kontrollere = to check / to inspect / to verify
- kontrollerer = checks / is checking
In Norwegian, the present tense is often made by adding -er to the infinitive stem:
- å snakke → snakker
- å jobbe → jobber
- å kontrollere → kontrollerer
So Hun kontrollerer planen grundig is a normal present-tense sentence.
Does kontrollere mean the same as English control?
