Questions & Answers about Astigmatismen endrer brillestyrken.

Why does astigmatismen end in -en?

Because Norwegian usually marks definiteness by adding an ending to the noun instead of using a separate word like the.

• astigmatisme = astigmatism
• astigmatismen = the astigmatism

So -en here is the definite singular ending.

Why is there no separate word for the in this sentence?

In Norwegian, the definite article is often attached to the end of the noun.

So instead of saying something like the astigmatism with a separate article, Norwegian says astigmatismen.

The same thing happens in brillestyrken:

• brillestyrke = glasses strength / prescription
• brillestyrken = the glasses strength / the prescription

A separate word like den is usually not used unless there is an adjective:

• brillestyrken = the prescription
• den nye brillestyrken = the new prescription
