Questions & Answers about Markørdisken viser kastestedet.

Why is markørdisken written as one word?

Because Norwegian usually writes compound nouns as a single word.

So:

• markør
  • disk → markørdisk
• kast
  • sted → kastested

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

The last part is the main noun, and the earlier part describes it. So:

• disk is the main noun in markørdisk
• sted is the main noun in kastested

That also matters for gender and endings.

What does the ending -en in markørdisken mean?

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

So:

• en markørdisk = a marker disc
• markørdisken = the marker disc

Norwegian often puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like English does.

Why does kastestedet end in -et instead of -en?
