Questions & Answers about Putteren lander i OB-området.
Why is it putteren and not just putter?
Because Norwegian usually marks definiteness by adding the article to the end of the noun.
- en putter = a putter
- putteren = the putter
So -en here is the definite ending.
This noun is a common-gender noun, which is why it takes -en in the definite singular.
What form is lander?
Lander is the present tense of the verb å lande.
- å lande = infinitive, to land
- lander = present tense, lands / is landing
This is very common in Norwegian: many verbs form the present tense by adding -r.
Examples:
- å snakke → snakker
- å spille → spiller
- å lande → lander
Unlike English, the verb does not change depending on I / you / he / they. The same present-tense form is used for all subjects.
