Questions & Answers about Soppkontrolløren gjennomfører soppkontrollen.

Why do both nouns end in -en?

Because both nouns are in the definite singular form.

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

• en soppkontrollør = a mushroom inspector

• soppkontrolløren = the mushroom inspector

• en soppkontroll = a mushroom inspection
• soppkontrollen = the mushroom inspection

So -en here works like English the.

Why isn’t there a separate word for the?

Norwegian normally marks definiteness by adding an ending to the noun.

So instead of saying something like the inspector, Norwegian often says:

• inspektøren
• kontrolløren
• soppkontrollen

This is one of the first big differences English speakers notice. English uses a separate article; Norwegian often uses a suffix.

What is the base form of gjennomfører?

In this sentence:

• å gjennomføre = infinitive
• gjennomfører = present tense

• Soppkontrolløren gjennomfører soppkontrollen.
• The mushroom inspector carries out the mushroom inspection.
