Questions & Answers about Vitnemålet og karakterutskriften lastes opp sammen.

Why do both nouns have endings instead of a separate word for the?

In Norwegian, definiteness is usually shown by adding an ending to the noun, rather than putting a separate word in front.

So:

• et vitnemål = a diploma / certificate
• vitnemålet = the diploma / certificate

and

• en karakterutskrift = a transcript
• karakterutskriften = the transcript

Because the sentence is talking about specific documents, both nouns are in the definite form.

Why is it vitnemålet but karakterutskriften?

The endings are different because the nouns belong to different grammatical genders.

• et vitnemål → vitnemålet
• en karakterutskrift → karakterutskriften

So -et is the definite ending for a neuter noun like vitnemål, while -en is the definite ending used here for karakterutskrift.

Why is karakterutskrift written as one word?

Because Norwegian normally writes compound nouns as a single word.

Here:

• karakter = grade
• utskrift = printout / transcript

Together, karakterutskrift means something like grade transcript.

This is very normal in Norwegian. English often uses two words where Norwegian uses one compound word.
