Questions & Answers about Arbeidsstillingen endres, og det skaper variasjon.

Why is arbeidsstillingen one word?

Norwegian often makes compound nouns by joining words together.

• arbeid = work
• stilling = position/posture
• arbeidsstilling = work position / working posture
• arbeidsstillingen = the work position / the working posture

Notice the -s- in the middle. That linking s is very common in Norwegian compounds.

Why does arbeidsstillingen end in -en?

The ending -en marks the noun as definite singular for many masculine nouns.

So:

• en arbeidsstilling = a work position
• arbeidsstillingen = the work position

This is very different from English, because Norwegian usually puts the definiteness on the noun itself rather than using a separate word like the.

Is arbeidsstilling masculine?

Yes, it is normally treated as a masculine noun:

• en arbeidsstilling
• arbeidsstillingen
• arbeidsstillinger
• arbeidsstillingene

In many varieties of Norwegian, feminine nouns can also be used as masculine, but arbeidsstilling is usually just learned as masculine.
