Questions & Answers about Vi besøker klubben.

Why is klubben written as one word instead of den klubb?

Because Norwegian usually marks definiteness by adding an ending to the noun.

• en klubb = a club
• klubben = the club

For most masculine nouns, the definite singular ending is -en. So:

• klubb
  • -en = klubben

Using den is possible in some cases, but usually only when there is an adjective:

• klubben = the club
• den store klubben = the big club

What form is besøker?

Besøker is the present tense of the verb å besøke = to visit.

So the forms are:

• å besøke = to visit
• besøker = visit / am visiting / are visiting / is visiting

In this sentence, Vi besøker klubben, it means we visit the club or we are visiting the club, depending on context.

Does Norwegian have different forms like visit and visits?

No. In Norwegian, the verb does not change according to the subject the way it does in English.

For example:

• jeg besøker = I visit
• du besøker = you visit
• vi besøker = we visit
• de besøker = they visit

So besøker stays the same.
