Questions & Answers about Ladestandarden står på skjermen.
What does ladestandarden mean, and how is it built?
Ladestandarden is a compound noun:
- lade = charge / charging
- standard = standard
- ladestandard = charging standard
- ladestandarden = the charging standard
Norwegian makes compounds very freely, much more than English does, so putting words together like this is completely normal.
Why does ladestandarden end in -en?
The -en is the definite ending, meaning the.
So:
- en ladestandard = a charging standard
- ladestandarden = the charging standard
Unlike English, Norwegian usually adds definiteness to the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like the by itself.
Why does skjermen also end in -en?

- en skjerm = a screen
- skjermen = the screen
So the full sentence has two definite nouns:
- ladestandarden = the charging standard
- skjermen = the screen
