Questions & Answers about Passformen er god.

What does passformen mean exactly?

Passform means fit, especially how a piece of clothing, shoes, or something wearable fits on the body.

So passformen er god means the fit is good.

It is most commonly used when talking about things like:

• clothes

• gloves
• other items where shape and comfort matter

Why is it passformen and not just passform?

The ending -en is the definite article attached to the noun.

So:

• en passform = a fit
• passformen = the fit

Norwegian often puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word before it.

That is why passformen er god literally looks like fit-the is good, but in natural English it is the fit is good.
