Why is filmrute written as one word?
Because Norwegian usually writes compound nouns as one word.
So:
- film
- rute = filmrute
This is very common in Norwegian. English often writes similar expressions as two words, but Norwegian combines them:
- film frame → filmrute
- school bus → skolebuss
- computer program → dataprogram
The last part is the main noun:
- rute is the basic noun
- film- tells you what kind of rute
Why is there no article before filmrute?
