Han kaster sigaretten.

In Norwegian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun.

• en sigarett = a cigarette
• sigaretten = the cigarette

So -en here means the. This is very common in Norwegian.

Kaste is the infinitive form, meaning to throw.

In the sentence, you need the present tense, so it becomes kaster:

• å kaste = to throw
• kaster = throw / throws / is throwing depending on context

So:

• Han kaster sigaretten = He throws the cigarette

It can mean either one, depending on context.

Norwegian often uses the simple present where English might use:

• throws
• is throwing

So Han kaster sigaretten could mean:

• He throws the cigarette
• He is throwing the cigarette

The surrounding context tells you which is meant.

In Norwegian, verbs do not change according to the subject in the present tense.

So you get:

• jeg kaster = I throw
• du kaster = you throw
• han kaster = he throws
• vi kaster = we throw

The verb form stays the same. This is simpler than English.

Yes. In many contexts, Han kaster sigaretten can naturally mean He throws the cigarette away.

Norwegian does not always need a separate word like away if the meaning is already clear from the situation. The verb kaste often carries that idea by itself when the object is something being discarded.

If needed, Norwegian can add words for clarity, but in a simple sentence this version is completely normal.

This is the normal basic word order in a Norwegian main clause:

• Subject + Verb + Object

So:

• Han = subject
• kaster = verb
• sigaretten = object

This is the same basic order as in English:

• He throws the cigarette

Han means he and is used for a male person.

• han = he
• hun = she
• det = it

So if the subject is a man or boy, han is the correct choice.

Because sigaretten means the cigarette, while en sigarett means a cigarette.

Compare:

• Han kaster en sigarett. = He throws a cigarette.
• Han kaster sigaretten. = He throws the cigarette.

The sentence uses the definite form, so it refers to a specific cigarette.

Sigarett is normally a common gender noun in Bokmål:

• en sigarett = a cigarette

Because it is common gender, the definite singular ending is -en:

• sigaretten = the cigarette

So yes, gender matters because it affects the article and the noun ending.

A simple learner-friendly approximation is:

• see-gah-RET-ten

A few useful points:

• the stress is usually on -rett-
• the tt is pronounced as a clear t
• the ending -en is an unstressed ending

You do not need perfect pronunciation right away, but it helps to notice where the stress falls.

Usually, for this simple meaning, Han kaster sigaretten is enough.

If you want to be more specific, Norwegian might use other expressions depending on what exactly is happening:

• Han kaster sigaretten. = He throws the cigarette / throws the cigarette away.
• Han kaster ut sigaretten would sound unusual in many contexts.
• More natural alternatives might depend on whether he throws it away, drops it, or puts it out.

So for a basic sentence, Han kaster sigaretten is natural and correct.
