Hun liker sporten.

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

• sport = sport / a sport
• sporten = the sport

So Hun liker sporten literally follows the pattern:

• Hun = she
• liker = likes
• sporten = the sport

You can sometimes see den sporten, but that usually adds extra emphasis, like that sport or that particular sport.

Liker is the present tense of the verb å like, which means to like.

So:

• å like = to like
• liker = like / likes

In this sentence, Hun liker means she likes.

No. In Norwegian, the verb form stays the same for all persons in the present tense.

For example:

• jeg liker = I like
• du liker = you like
• hun liker = she likes
• vi liker = we like

Unlike English, Norwegian does not add a special -s form for he/she/it.

This is the normal basic word order in Norwegian main clauses:

Subject + Verb + Object

So here:

• Hun = subject
• liker = verb
• sporten = object

That makes it a very straightforward sentence structure for learners.

Yes, hun is the usual Norwegian pronoun for she.

Some useful related pronouns are:

• jeg = I
• du = you
• han = he
• hun = she
• vi = we
• de = they

So in this sentence, hun clearly tells you the subject is female: she.

Because sport is usually a common gender noun in Bokmål, and the definite singular ending for common gender nouns is often -en.

A common pattern is:

• en bil = a car
• bilen = the car

And similarly:

• en sport = a sport
• sporten = the sport

So -en is the marker that makes the noun definite.

Not normally. Hun liker sporten means She likes the sport, referring to one specific sport.

If you want to say She likes sports in a more general sense, you would usually say something like:

• Hun liker sport = She likes sport / sports

So the -en matters a lot: it makes the noun specific.

You usually make it negative by putting ikke after the verb:

• Hun liker ikke sporten. = She does not like the sport.

That placement is very common in simple Norwegian sentences:

subject + verb + ikke + object

A careful approximate pronunciation would be something like:

hoon LEE-ker SPOOR-ten

A few notes:

• hun has a rounded vowel that does not match English perfectly
• liker has two syllables: li-ker
• sporten is also two syllables: spor-ten

The stress usually falls like this:

• HUN liker SPORTen

Exact pronunciation can vary somewhat by dialect, but that is a good starting point.

Yes, very often that is exactly what the definite form does.

Sporten usually means a specific sport that both speaker and listener already know about, or that has just been mentioned.

For example:

• Hun driver med tennis. Hun liker sporten.
• She does tennis / plays tennis. She likes the sport.

So the definite form often points to something known from the context.
