Questions & Answers about Borddybden påvirker tastaturplasseringen.

Why is borddybden written as one word?

Because Norwegian usually writes compound nouns as a single word.

• bord = table/desk
• dybde = depth
• borddybde = desk depth / the depth of the desk

Then -n / -en is added for the definite form, giving borddybden = the desk depth or more naturally the depth of the desk.

This is very common in Norwegian:

• tastatur
  • plassering → tastaturplassering
• arbeid
  • rom → arbeidsrom

English often uses separate words where Norwegian prefers one compound word.

What exactly does borddybden mean grammatically?

So the sentence is talking about a specific desk depth, not desk depth in general.
