Questions & Answers about Hun registrerer adressen.

Why is it adressen and not adresse?

Because adressen is the definite form of the noun, meaning the address.

In Norwegian Bokmål, many nouns add an ending to show definiteness instead of using a separate word like the.

• en adresse = an address
• adressen = the address

So:

• Hun registrerer en adresse = She registers an address
• Hun registrerer adressen = She registers the address

What does the -er ending on registrerer mean?

The -er ending marks the verb as present tense in this sentence.

The infinitive is:

• å registrere = to register

The present tense is:

• registrerer = register / registers / is registering, depending on context

So Hun registrerer adressen uses the present tense form of the verb.

Does registrerer change depending on whether the subject is I, you, or she?

No. In Norwegian, verbs usually do not change for person the way they do in English.

So you get:

• Jeg registrerer = I register
• Du registrerer = you register
• Hun registrerer = she registers
• Vi registrerer = we register

This is much simpler than English, where only he/she/it usually takes -s in the present tense.
