Questions & Answers about Straffekastet endrer ikke parverdien.

Why is straffekastet one word, and what does -et mean?

Straffekastet is a compound noun:

• straffe = penalty
• kast = throw / shot

Norwegian usually writes compound nouns as one word.

The ending -et is the definite singular ending for a neuter noun.
So:

• et straffekast = a penalty throw
• straffekastet = the penalty throw

Why is there no separate word for the?

In Norwegian, the is often added as an ending on the noun instead of being a separate word.

So instead of a separate article, you get:

• straffekastet = the penalty throw
• parverdien = the par value

This is very normal in Norwegian. A separate definite word such as den/det/de is mainly used in other structures, especially when an adjective is involved, for example:

• den nye verdien = the new value
