Prøvingen begynner med måltakingen i morgen.

The sentence breaks down like this:

• Prøvingen = the subject
• begynner = the finite verb, present tense
• med måltakingen = a prepositional phrase, meaning with the measuring / with the taking of measurements
• i morgen = a time expression, tomorrow

So the structure is basically:

[Subject] + [verb] + [prepositional phrase] + [time]

That is a very normal Norwegian sentence pattern.

Prøvingen is a noun, not a verb.

It comes from prøving, which is a noun related to å prøve. In this sentence, it refers to the fitting / the trying-on session / the testing process, depending on context.

The ending -en makes it definite singular, so:

• prøving = fitting / trying-on / testing
• prøvingen = the fitting / the trying-on / the testing

Norwegian often turns actions or processes into nouns this way.

Because -en is the definite singular ending.

In English, you usually put the before the noun:

• the fitting
• the measuring

In Norwegian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun:

• prøving → prøvingen
• måltaking → måltakingen

So the sentence is talking about a specific fitting and a specific measuring stage, not just fitting or measuring in general.

Yes, very possibly.

Many nouns ending in -ing are feminine in Bokmål, so you may see:

• prøvinga
• måltakinga

instead of:

• prøvingen
• måltakingen

In Bokmål, feminine nouns are often allowed to take either a feminine ending -a or a masculine/common-style ending -en, depending on style and preference.

So both patterns can be correct in Bokmål:

• prøvingen / prøvinga
• måltakingen / måltakinga

The version with -en is perfectly normal.

Because Norwegian often uses the present tense for future events, especially when they are planned or scheduled.

So:

• Prøvingen begynner i morgen = the fitting begins tomorrow

This works much like English:

• The fitting starts tomorrow

You do not need a separate future form here. The word i morgen already shows that the event is in the future.

Because begynne med means begin with or start with.

So:

• begynne = begin
• begynne med noe = begin with something

In this sentence, med måltakingen tells you what the first step is.

It is very similar to English:

• The fitting begins with the measuring

Yes. Norwegian normally writes compound nouns as one word.

So måltakingen is built as one unit:

• måltaking = measuring / taking measurements
• måltakingen = the measuring / the taking of measurements

This is very typical in Norwegian. English often separates words more, but Norwegian prefers compounds.

Also notice that the definite ending is added to the whole compound:

• måltaking
  • -en = måltakingen

It is a compound noun referring to the act of taking measurements.

You can think of it as being related to the expression å ta mål, meaning to take measurements.

So instead of using a verb phrase, Norwegian can package that action into a noun:

• å ta mål = to take measurements
• måltaking = measurement-taking / the act of taking measurements
• måltakingen = the measurement-taking / the taking of measurements

This kind of noun is common in slightly formal, technical, or process-oriented language.

Yes. You could say something like:

Prøvingen begynner med å ta mål i morgen.

That means the fitting begins by taking measurements tomorrow.

The difference is mainly stylistic:

• med måltakingen sounds more like a named stage or part of a process
• med å ta mål sounds more directly like an action

So the original sentence is a bit more noun-heavy and process-oriented.

Yes. You can say:

I morgen begynner prøvingen med måltakingen.

That is also correct.

When a time expression comes first in a Norwegian main clause, Norwegian still keeps the verb in second position. This is the V2 rule.

So:

• Prøvingen begynner med måltakingen i morgen.
• I morgen begynner prøvingen med måltakingen.

Both are grammatical. The second version puts more focus on tomorrow.

Yes. Starter would sound natural here too:

Prøvingen starter med måltakingen i morgen.

Both begynner and starter can work.

A rough difference is:

• begynner = begin, slightly more neutral
• starter = start, often a bit more direct or everyday

In this sentence, either one would be fine.

Yes, this sentence is in Bokmål.

A Nynorsk version could look like this:

Prøvinga byrjar med måltakinga i morgon.

Some of the main differences are:

• begynner → byrjar
• i morgen → i morgon
• feminine forms like prøvinga and måltakinga are especially natural in Nynorsk

So if you are learning Bokmål, the original sentence is the one to focus on.
