Questions & Answers about Bobehandlingen slutter med booppgjøret.

Why are bobehandlingen and booppgjøret written as single words?

Because Norwegian normally writes compound nouns as one word.

So:

• bo + behandling = bobehandling
• bo + oppgjør = booppgjør

This is very common in Norwegian. Where English often uses separate words, Norwegian often makes one compound word instead.

A native English speaker may want to split them up, but in Norwegian that would usually look wrong.

What does bo mean here?

Here, bo is a legal noun, not the verb å bo meaning to live.

In this kind of legal context, bo usually refers to an estate or bankruptcy estate, depending on the situation. It is a technical word used in legal and financial language.

So in:

• bobehandling = administration/proceedings relating to an estate
• booppgjør = settlement of the estate

The exact English translation depends on the legal context, but bo is basically the key legal idea behind both compounds.

Why do the nouns end in -en and -et?
