Questions & Answers about Klageren sender klagen.

Why do both nouns end in -en?

In this sentence, both nouns are in the definite singular form:

• klager = a complainant / complainant

• klageren = the complainant

• klage = a complaint
• klagen = the complaint

In Norwegian, definiteness is often shown by adding an ending to the noun, instead of using a separate word like the in English. So -en here means the for these singular common-gender nouns.

What is the difference between klager and klage?

They are different words, even though they look similar:

• en klager = a complainant, the person who complains
• en klage = a complaint, the thing being sent or submitted

So:

• klageren = the complainant
• klagen = the complaint

This sentence uses both the person and the complaint, which is why the two similar-looking words appear together.

Why is it klageren and not klageren klager?

Because sender is the verb in this sentence, not klager.

The structure is:

• Klageren = subject
• sender = verb
• klagen = object

So the sentence means that the complainant sends/submits the complaint.

Even though klager can be related to the idea of complaining, in klageren it is a noun, not a verb.
