Questions & Answers about Klageren påklager enkeltvedtaket.

What is klageren grammatically?

Klageren is the definite singular form of the noun klager.

• en klager = a complainant
• klageren = the complainant

In Norwegian, the definite article is usually added to the end of the noun rather than written as a separate word.

Why is the word the attached to the noun instead of being separate?

That is a normal feature of Norwegian. Instead of putting a separate word before the noun, Norwegian often uses a suffix:

• en klager → klageren
• et vedtak → vedtaket

So in this sentence:

• klageren = the complainant
• enkeltvedtaket = the individual decision

English uses a separate article, but Norwegian often builds definiteness into the noun itself.

Påklager is the present tense of the verb å påklage.

A few forms are:

• å påklage = to appeal / to challenge formally
• påklager = appeals / challenges
• påklaget = appealed / challenged

So the sentence uses present tense: the complainant appeals the decision.
