Questions & Answers about Hun bruker tjenesten.
Why is hun used here?
Hun is the Norwegian subject pronoun meaning she.
In this sentence, hun is the person doing the action, so it works just like she in English:
- Hun bruker tjenesten. = She uses the service.
A few related pronouns are:
- jeg = I
- du = you
- han = he
- hun = she
- vi = we
- de = they
What form is bruker?
Bruker is the present tense of the verb å bruke, which means to use.
So:
- å bruke = to use
- bruker = use / uses / am using / is using, depending on context
Norwegian verbs are much simpler than English verbs in this way: the verb form does not change depending on the subject.
For example:
- jeg bruker = I use
- hun bruker = she uses
- vi bruker = we use
It is always bruker in the present tense.
Does bruker only mean uses?
