Questions & Answers about Klageretten og klagefristen står i underretningen.
What do klageretten and klagefristen mean exactly?
- klageretten = the right to appeal / the right to complain
- klagefristen = the appeal deadline / the time limit for lodging a complaint
The exact English wording depends on context. In legal or administrative Norwegian, klage often means appeal or formal complaint, not just everyday complaining.
Why are klageretten and klagefristen written as one word each?
Because Norwegian very often forms compound nouns by joining words together.
So:
- klage
- retten → klageretten
- klage
- fristen → klagefristen
This is much more normal in Norwegian than in English. Where English often uses separate words, Norwegian frequently makes one compound word.
Why do these nouns end in -en?
