Questions & Answers about Putteren brukes til putten.

What is the difference between putteren and putten?

They are two different golf nouns:

• putteren = the putter, the club
• putten = the putt, the stroke/shot

So even though the words look similar, one names the tool and the other names the action/result.

Are putter and putt borrowed from English?

Yes. Golf vocabulary in Norwegian is often borrowed from English. But once the words enter Norwegian, they follow Norwegian grammar.

For example:

• en putter → putteren
• en putt → putten

So the roots are English-looking, but the endings are Norwegian.

Why do both nouns end in -en?

Because -en is the usual definite singular ending for many masculine nouns in Bokmål.

That means:

• en putter = a putter
• putteren = the putter
• en putt = a putt
• putten = the putt

English uses a separate word, the, but Norwegian usually adds the definite ending directly to the noun.
