Questions & Answers about Kursplanen viser når samlingen begynner.
Why does kursplanen end in -en?
Because kursplanen is the definite singular form of kursplan, meaning the course plan.
In Norwegian, many nouns add -en to mean the:
- en kursplan = a course plan
- kursplanen = the course plan
Unlike English, Norwegian usually puts the definiteness on the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like the.
Why does samlingen also end in -en?
For the same reason: samlingen is the definite singular form of samling.
- en samling = a gathering / a session / a meeting
- samlingen = the gathering / the session
So both kursplanen and samlingen are definite nouns.
What exactly does samling mean here?
Samling can mean several related things, depending on context:
- a gathering
- a meeting
- a session
- an in-person course session or study session
In school, university, or course contexts, samling often means a scheduled session where participants meet. So in this sentence, it is probably something like the session rather than a random social gathering.
