Questions & Answers about De flytter vognen.
In normal modern Norwegian, de usually means they.
Because this sentence begins with De, the word is capitalized automatically. That does not by itself mean formal you.
Older or very formal Norwegian sometimes used De as a polite form of you, but that is uncommon in everyday language now. In a basic sentence like De flytter vognen, the natural reading is they move / are moving the cart.
Flytter is the present tense of the verb å flytte.
So:
- å flytte = to move
- flytter = move / moves / am moving / is moving / are moving, depending on context
A useful point for English speakers: Norwegian verbs do not change according to the subject the way English verbs do. For example:
- jeg flytter
- du flytter
- han flytter
- de flytter
The verb stays flytter in all of these.
It can mean both.
Norwegian present tense often covers both:
- They move the cart
- They are moving the cart
Context tells you which is meant. If this is just an isolated sentence, both are grammatically possible.
