Questions & Answers about Meldingsfristen gjelder uavhengig av om hun flytter alene.
What does meldingsfristen mean, and how is it built?
Meldingsfristen is a compound noun:
- melding = notice, notification, report, message
- frist = deadline
- -en = the definite ending
So meldingsfrist means notification deadline or reporting deadline, and meldingsfristen means the notification deadline.
Norwegian very often builds long nouns this way, by joining words together into one compound.
Why is it one word: meldingsfristen?
Because Norwegian normally writes compound nouns as a single word.
So:
- meldingsfrist = notification deadline
- meldingsfristen = the notification deadline
English often separates these ideas into more words, but Norwegian prefers compounds. This is very common and important to get used to.
