Breakdown of Reparatøren vurderer batterihelsen.
Questions & Answers about Reparatøren vurderer batterihelsen.
Because Norwegian usually puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like English the.
- en reparatør = a repair technician
- reparatøren = the repair technician
The ending -en is the common singular definite ending for many nouns in Bokmål.
Vurderer is present tense.
The verb is å vurdere = to assess / evaluate / consider.
In this sentence, vurderer means something like assesses or evaluates.
A useful thing for English speakers: Norwegian verbs do not change for person.
- jeg vurderer = I assess
- du vurderer = you assess
- han/hun vurderer = he/she assesses
So the same present-tense form is used for everyone.
Because Norwegian normally writes compound nouns as a single word.
Here, batterihelsen is built from:
- batteri = battery
- helse = health
- definite ending -n / -en
So the base form is batterihelse = battery health, and the definite form is batterihelsen = the battery health / the health of the battery in context.
This is very normal in Norwegian. English often uses two words where Norwegian prefers one compound word.
