Prinsen bor her.

Because -en is the usual definite ending for many Norwegian nouns.

• prins = a prince
• prinsen = the prince

So Prinsen bor her means The prince lives here.

In Norwegian, the definite article is often attached to the end of the noun instead of appearing as a separate word before it.

So instead of the prince, Norwegian usually says:

• prinsen = the prince

This is very common in Norwegian:

• bok = a book
• boken / boka = the book

Bor is the present tense of å bo, which usually means to live, to reside, or sometimes to stay somewhere.

So:

• å bo = to live
• bor = live / lives

In this sentence, Prinsen bor her most naturally means The prince lives here.

Because Norwegian uses å bo for living somewhere, just like English uses live.

• Prinsen bor her = The prince lives here
• Prinsen er her = The prince is here

So bor talks about residence or where someone lives, while er just says someone is present.

Yes, her means here.

But note the spelling and pronunciation: it is written her, not here. Even though it looks a bit like the English word her, it means here in Norwegian.

This is a very common question.

• her = here (location)
• hit = to here / hither (direction toward this place)

So:

• Prinsen bor her = The prince lives here
• Prinsen kommer hit = The prince is coming here

Use her when someone or something is already in that place. Use hit when there is movement toward that place.

This sentence has normal basic word order:

• Prinsen = subject
• bor = verb
• her = adverb of place

So it follows the usual pattern:

Subject + verb + place

This is similar to English:

• The prince lives here

Yes, you can, but it changes the emphasis.

• Prinsen bor her = neutral statement
• Her bor prinsen = The prince lives here / Here is where the prince lives

When a word like her comes first, Norwegian still keeps the verb in second position:

• Her bor prinsen

This is part of the normal Norwegian V2 word order pattern.

It is capitalized because it is the first word in the sentence, not because it is a title.

In Norwegian, ordinary nouns are not capitalized the way they are in German.

So:

• Prinsen bor her.
• Jeg ser prinsen.

Only the first word of the sentence and proper names normally get capitals.

A rough guide for an English speaker is:

• Prinsen ≈ PRIN-sen
• bor ≈ boor (but with a clearer, rounder o sound)
• her ≈ somewhere between English hehr and hair, depending on accent

A few useful notes:

• The r is pronounced, though the exact sound depends on dialect.
• Norwegian o in bor is not exactly the same as English or.
• The sentence stress usually falls naturally on Prinsen or her, depending on what you want to emphasize.

You usually put ikke after the verb:

• Prinsen bor ikke her. = The prince does not live here.

That word order is very common in Norwegian main clauses:

• subject + verb + ikke
  • other information

Usually å bo means living somewhere as a resident, whether that is permanent or not. It often suggests more than just being there for a moment.

For example:

• Jeg bor i Oslo. = I live in Oslo.
• Hun bor hos foreldrene sine nå. = She is living with her parents now.

So Prinsen bor her most naturally suggests that this is where the prince lives, not just that he happens to be here right now.
