Questions & Answers about Medspilleren starter på utkastfeltet.

Why is it medspilleren and not medspiller?

Because -en makes the noun definite singular.

• medspiller = a teammate / a fellow player
• medspilleren = the teammate / the fellow player

Norwegian very often adds the definite article to the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like the.

Why does utkastfeltet end in -et?

That ending shows that the noun is definite singular too, but this time for a neuter noun.

• et utkastfelt = a throw-in area / a starting area / the relevant field depending on context
• utkastfeltet = the throw-in area / the field

So in this sentence, both nouns are definite:

• medspilleren = the teammate
• utkastfeltet = the field/area

How do I know that medspiller takes -en but utkastfelt takes -et?

Because they belong to different grammatical genders.

• en medspiller → common gender → definite singular medspilleren
• et utkastfelt → neuter gender → definite singular utkastfeltet

This is a basic pattern in Norwegian:

• common gender: en bil → bilen
• neuter gender: et hus → huset

So the ending depends on the noun’s gender.
