Vi møter agenten.

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

• agent = agent
• agenten = the agent

The ending -en is the common definite ending for many masculine nouns in the singular.

So instead of saying the agent as two separate words, Norwegian usually says agenten as one word.

Møter is the present tense form of the verb å møte (to meet).

• å møte = to meet
• møter = meet / are meeting

Norwegian verbs are much simpler than English verbs in this way: the verb form does not change depending on the subject.

So you get:

• jeg møter = I meet / I am meeting
• du møter = you meet / you are meeting
• vi møter = we meet / we are meeting

The same present-tense form møter is used for all persons.

It can mean both, depending on context.

In Norwegian, the simple present often covers meanings that English splits into:

• We meet the agent
• We are meeting the agent

So Vi møter agenten could describe:

• a general action,
• a planned event,
• or something happening now,

depending on the situation.

Because Norwegian usually puts definiteness on the noun itself instead of using a separate word like English the.

So:

• en agent = an agent
• agenten = the agent

This is one of the most important differences between English and Norwegian noun structure.

Yes, vi means we.

It is the standard Norwegian subject pronoun for the first person plural.

Examples:

• Vi kommer. = We are coming.
• Vi ser bilen. = We see the car.

In your sentence, vi is the subject, so it tells you who is doing the action.

The word order is the normal Norwegian main-clause order:

Subject + Verb + Object

So:

• Vi = subject
• møter = verb
• agenten = object

This is very similar to standard English word order:

• We meet the agent.

You know from both meaning and word order.

In a normal Norwegian statement, the subject usually comes before the verb, and the object usually comes after the verb.

So in:

Vi møter agenten

• Vi performs the action
• agenten receives the action

That makes agenten the direct object.

Agent is normally treated as a masculine noun in Bokmål, so the usual definite singular form is:

• agenten = the agent

Some Norwegian nouns can take either masculine or feminine forms, but agent is generally masculine, not feminine. So agenta would not be standard here.

A rough guide is MUR-ter or MUR-tər, but the exact sound is different from English.

A few pronunciation notes:

• ø is a vowel that does not exist in standard English.
• The t is clearly pronounced.
• The r may sound different depending on the dialect.

So while an English-style approximation can help at first, it is worth listening to native audio for møte and møter.

The infinitive is å møte, which means to meet.

From that verb, you get forms like:

• å møte = to meet
• møter = meet / is meeting / are meeting
• møtte = met
• har møtt = have met

So in your sentence, møter is the present-tense form of å møte.

Yes. Norwegian often uses the present tense for near-future plans, just like English sometimes does.

So Vi møter agenten can mean:

• We meet the agent
• We are meeting the agent
• We’re meeting the agent later, as a scheduled plan

The exact meaning depends on context, such as time words:

• Vi møter agenten i morgen. = We’re meeting the agent tomorrow.

Norwegian does not use do-support the way English does.

In English, you sometimes need do/does/did:

• Do we meet the agent?
• We do not meet the agent.

Norwegian does not do that in the same way. The basic statement is simply:

• Vi møter agenten.

Questions and negatives are formed differently, without adding an equivalent of English do in this kind of sentence.
