Questions & Answers about Kostnadsstedet står i reiseregningen uavhengig av om bompengene øker.
Why does kostnadsstedet end with -et?
Because kostnadssted is a neuter noun in Norwegian, and -et is the definite singular ending for many neuter nouns.
- et kostnadssted = a cost center / cost code
- kostnadsstedet = the cost center / the cost code
So the sentence is talking about a specific cost center, not just any cost center.
What does står mean here? It usually means stands, doesn’t it?
Yes, the basic meaning of stå is to stand, but in Norwegian it is also very commonly used in a more abstract sense to mean:
- be written
- appear
- be listed
- be stated
So in Kostnadsstedet står i reiseregningen, står does not mean the cost center is physically standing somewhere. It means the cost center appears / is listed / is written in the travel expense report.
