Questions & Answers about Selskapet skal ansette henne.
Why is selskapet one word, and where is the?
In Norwegian, the definite article is usually added to the end of the noun instead of appearing as a separate word in front.
- selskap = company
- selskapet = the company
So -et is the neuter definite ending here.
This is very common in Norwegian:
- hus = house
- huset = the house
Why is it skal ansette instead of just one verb?
Because Norwegian often uses skal + infinitive to talk about something that is planned, expected, or going to happen.
So:
- skal = shall / will / is going to / is supposed to
- ansette = hire / employ
Together, skal ansette means something like:
- will hire
- is going to hire
- is going to employ
The exact English translation depends on context.
Why is there no å before ansette?
