Fullmakten endrer ikke møteretten.

Because both nouns are in the definite singular form.

In Norwegian, instead of using a separate word like the, you very often add the definiteness to the end of the noun:

• en fullmakt = a power of attorney / an authorization

• fullmakten = the power of attorney / the authorization

• en møterett = a right to attend meetings
• møteretten = the right to attend meetings

So:

• Fullmakten = the proxy / the authorization
• møteretten = the meeting right / the right to attend the meeting(s)

This is one of the first big differences from English.

Fullmakt is a legal or formal word meaning something like:

• authorization
• power of attorney
• proxy authority

The exact English translation depends on context.

In business, legal, or organizational contexts, fullmakt often means that one person has authority to act on behalf of another person. So fullmakten here is probably referring to that authorization itself, not the person.

Yes, it is one compound noun, which is very normal in Norwegian.

It is made from:

• møte = meeting
• rett = right

So:

• møterett = the right to attend or be present at a meeting
• møteretten = the right to attend the meeting / the meeting attendance right

Norwegian uses compound nouns much more freely than English, so where English might use several words, Norwegian often combines them into one.

Because in a main clause, Norwegian normally places ikke after the finite verb.

The structure here is:

• Fullmakten = subject
• endrer = finite verb
• ikke = negation
• møteretten = object

So:

• Fullmakten endrer ikke møteretten.

This is normal Norwegian word order.

Compare:

• Han kommer ikke. = He is not coming.
• Vi forstår ikke dette. = We do not understand this.

English often uses do not before the main verb, but Norwegian usually just puts ikke after the finite verb.

Endrer is the present tense of the verb å endre, which means to change or to alter.

So:

• å endre = to change
• endrer = changes / is changing

In this sentence:

• Fullmakten endrer ikke møteretten.
• literally: The authorization changes not the meeting right
• natural English: The authorization does not change the right to attend meetings.

Norwegian present tense is often simpler than English, because the same form can cover both:

• changes
• is changing

depending on context.

Not as a normal standalone statement.

In a main clause, the finite verb usually comes before ikke, so:

• Fullmakten endrer ikke møteretten. ✅

But your version may appear inside a larger sentence where it becomes a subordinate clause:

• Det er viktig at fullmakten ikke endrer møteretten.
• It is important that the authorization does not change the right to attend meetings.

So:

• main clause: verb before ikke
• subordinate clause: ikke often comes before the main verb phrase

That word-order difference is very important in Norwegian.

Because Norwegian usually marks definiteness with a suffix on the noun.

Instead of saying:

• the authorization
• the right

Norwegian commonly says:

• fullmakten
• møteretten

This is the normal pattern. A separate determiner like den is only used in certain structures, for example with adjectives:

• fullmakten = the authorization
• den skriftlige fullmakten = the written authorization

So in your sentence, no separate word for the is needed.

By itself, møterett usually means the right to attend / be present at a meeting.

It does not automatically mean:

• the right to speak
• the right to vote

Those rights may be separate, depending on the context.

So if this is from legal, corporate, or association language, the sentence probably means that giving someone a proxy or authorization does not change who has the formal right to attend.

A careful approximate pronunciation would be:

FULL-mak-ten EN-drer ikke MØ-te-ret-ten

A few points for an English speaker:

• u in fullmakt is not like English u in fun
• ø in møte is a rounded vowel that English does not really have
• tt in møteretten is pronounced as a clear t
• the stress is usually strongest near the start of fullmakten and møteretten

If you are reading it aloud, a natural rhythm would be:

Fullmakten endrer ikke møteretten.

with ikke said a little lighter than the main content words.
