Questions & Answers about Avrimingen begynner nå.

Why is it avrimingen and not avriming?

Avrimingen is the definite singular form of the noun avriming.

• avriming = defrosting / de-icing in a general sense
• avrimingen = the defrosting

In Norwegian, the definite article is often attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like English the.

So:

• en avriming = a defrosting
• avrimingen = the defrosting

In this sentence, it refers to a specific defrosting process that is starting now, so the definite form sounds natural.

What kind of word is avriming?

Avriming is a noun made from the verb å avrime, which means to defrost or to de-ice.

This is very common in Norwegian: a verb can become a noun ending in -ing, similar to English forms like:

• to park → parking
• to train → training

So:

• å avrime = to defrost
• avriming = defrosting / defrost process

In this sentence, avrimingen refers to the process itself.
