Questions & Answers about To dager gjenstår.
What does gjenstår mean here?
Gjenstår means remains / is left.
It is the present tense of å gjenstå, which means to remain, to be left, or to still be outstanding.
So To dager gjenstår is literally:
- to = two
- dager = days
- gjenstår = remain / are left
A very natural English translation is Two days remain or There are two days left.
Why is it dager and not dag?
Because to means two, and after numbers greater than one, Norwegian normally uses the plural form of the noun.
So:
- en dag = one day
- to dager = two days
The plural of dag is:
- indefinite plural: dager
- definite plural: dagene
Here you need the indefinite plural, so dager is correct.
Why is there no article, like the or a?
