Questions & Answers about Arbeidskostnaden og delekostnaden vises sammen.

Why do arbeidskostnaden and delekostnaden both end in -en?

The ending -en marks the noun as definite singular in Norwegian.

So:

• arbeidskostnad = labor cost
• arbeidskostnaden = the labor cost

and

• delekostnad = parts cost
• delekostnaden = the parts cost

In this sentence, the speaker is talking about specific costs, not costs in general, so the definite form is used.

Why are arbeidskostnaden and delekostnaden written as one word?

Norwegian, like German, often forms compound nouns by joining words together into a single word.

So:

• arbeid
  • kostnad → arbeidskostnad
• del
  • kostnad → delekostnad

This is very common in Norwegian. English often writes similar ideas as separate words, but Norwegian usually combines them.

Also notice that arbeid becomes arbeids- in the compound. That -s- is a common linking element in Norwegian compounds.
