Passasjerrettighetene gjelder også refusjonskravet.

Because Norwegian usually forms compound nouns by joining the parts into one word.

So:

• passasjerrettighetene = passasjer
  • rettighetene
• refusjonskravet = refusjon
  • kravet

This is very normal in Norwegian. English often writes similar ideas as separate words, but Norwegian usually does not.

A useful rule: in Norwegian compounds, the last part is the main noun, and that is the part that decides the gender and the definite ending.

It breaks down like this:

• passasjer = passenger
• rettighet = right
• -ene = the for a plural noun

So passasjerrettighetene means the passenger rights.

More literally, it is passenger-rights-the. That sounds strange in English, but it is standard Norwegian structure.

It breaks down like this:

• refusjon = refund / reimbursement
• krav = claim / demand
• -et = the for a singular neuter noun

So refusjonskravet means the refund claim or the reimbursement claim.

Because krav is a neuter noun, the definite singular form is kravet.

Gjelder is the present tense of å gjelde.

In this sentence, it means something like:

• applies to
• concerns
• covers

The exact best translation depends on context, especially in legal or official language.

Because Norwegian usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun instead of putting a separate word in front.

So:

• rettigheter = rights
• rettighetene = the rights

and

• krav = claim
• kravet = the claim

This is one of the biggest structural differences from English.

Because Norwegian verbs do not change form for singular and plural the way English verbs sometimes do.

So you get:

• rettigheten gjelder = the right applies
• rettighetene gjelder = the rights apply

The verb stays gjelder either way.

Også means also.

In a normal Norwegian main clause, the finite verb usually comes early, and adverbs like også often come after it. So:

• Passasjerrettighetene gjelder også refusjonskravet.

This placement makes også connect naturally with what follows, so the idea is roughly the refund claim too.

If you move også, the emphasis can shift slightly.

Not necessarily. Å gjelde can often be used directly with what it applies to or concerns.

So a structure like this is possible:

• Dette gjelder alle passasjerer. = This applies to all passengers.

A version with for can also exist in Norwegian, depending on style and nuance:

• Dette gjelder for alle passasjerer.

As a general guide:

• without for often feels a bit more direct: concerns / covers / applies to
• with for can sound a bit more like is valid for

So the sentence as written is grammatical and natural.

The structure is:

• Passasjerrettighetene = subject
• gjelder = verb
• også = adverb
• refusjonskravet = object / thing affected

So it follows standard Norwegian main-clause word order:

subject + verb + adverb + object

That is a very common and useful pattern to recognize.
