Questions & Answers about Kvitteringsbildet er klart.

Why is kvitteringsbildet written as one word?

Because Norwegian usually forms compound nouns as one word.

Here, kvitteringsbildet is built from:

• kvittering = receipt
• bilde = image / picture / screen
• -et = the definite ending for a neuter noun

So the structure is basically:

kvittering + s + bilde + et

That gives kvitteringsbildet.

The s is a common linking sound in compounds. It does not always have a separate meaning; it just helps the compound sound natural.

• et bilde = an image / a picture / a screen

• kvitteringsbilde = receipt image / receipt screen
• kvitteringsbildet = the receipt image / the receipt screen

Unlike English, Norwegian often puts the at the end of the noun.
