Questions & Answers about Treffpunktet avgjør splitten.

Why is treffpunktet written as one word?

Because Norwegian normally writes compound nouns as a single word.

Here, treffpunktet is built from treff + punkt:

• treff = meeting / hit / encounter, depending on context
• punkt = point

So treffpunkt is meeting point, and treffpunktet is the meeting point.

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

Why does treffpunktet end in -et?

The ending -et marks the definite singular of a neuter noun.

The base form is:

• et treffpunkt = a meeting point

The definite form is:

• treffpunktet = the meeting point

So Norwegian usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun instead of putting a separate word in front.
