Questions & Answers about Karakterutskriften og arbeidsattesten sendes sammen.

Why do karakterutskriften and arbeidsattesten both end in -en?

Because both nouns are in the definite singular form.

In Norwegian, the definite article is usually added to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like the in English.

• en karakterutskrift = a transcript / a grade report
• karakterutskriften = the transcript / the grade report
• en arbeidsattest = an employment certificate / a work reference
• arbeidsattesten = the employment certificate / the work reference

So the sentence is talking about two specific documents, not just any transcript and any work certificate.

Why is there no separate word for the?

In Norwegian, the is usually built into the noun as a suffix.

So instead of saying something like the transcript, Norwegian says:

• utskriften = the printout / the transcript
• attesten = the certificate

This is one of the biggest structural differences from English. English uses a separate article before the noun, while Norwegian often adds the definite marker at the end.
