Questions & Answers about Leasingavtalen viser disposisjonsretten.

Why do both leasingavtalen and disposisjonsretten end in -en?

Because both nouns are in the definite singular form.

In Norwegian, the definite article is usually added to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like English the.

• en avtale = an agreement

• avtalen = the agreement

• en rett = a right
• retten = the right

So:

• leasingavtalen = the leasing agreement / the lease agreement
• disposisjonsretten = the right of disposal/use/control depending on context

Both are common-gender nouns, so -en is the usual definite ending.

Is leasingavtalen really one word?

Yes. Norwegian normally writes compound nouns as one word.

So English leasing agreement becomes Norwegian leasingavtale.

Then when it becomes definite singular, you add the ending to the whole compound:

• en leasingavtale = a leasing agreement
• leasingavtalen = the leasing agreement

This is very common in Norwegian. English often uses two words where Norwegian prefers one compound word.

Is disposisjonsretten also a compound word?
