Questions & Answers about Partnerbyttet kommer etter rotasjonen.

Why is partnerbyttet written as one word?

Because Norwegian normally writes compound nouns as a single word.

So partnerbyttet is built from:

• partner = partner
• bytte = change/switch

Together they form partnerbytte, and in this sentence that noun is in the definite form: partnerbyttet.

This is very common in Norwegian. English often uses two words where Norwegian uses one:

• togstasjon = train station
• sommerferie = summer holiday
• partnerbytte = partner change

Where is the word the in this sentence?

In Norwegian, the is often attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word.

Here:

• partnerbytte = a partner change
• partnerbyttet = the partner change

And:

• rotasjon = a rotation
• rotasjonen = the rotation

So the definiteness is shown by the endings:

• -et for partnerbyttet
• -en for rotasjonen
