Questions & Answers about Løpsfarten reduseres under nedjoggingen.

Why is løpsfarten one long word?

Because Norwegian very often makes compound nouns by joining words together.

Here, løpsfarten is built from:

• løp = running / race
• fart = speed / pace
• -en = the definite singular ending

So løpsfarten means something like the running pace or the speed of running.

This is much more natural in Norwegian than writing separate words.

What is the -s in løpsfarten?

That -s is a linking s used in some Norwegian compounds. It does not mean possession here.

So:

• løp
  • fart → løpsfart

This is similar to how some compounds in Scandinavian languages insert an extra sound to make the word flow better.

So løpsfarten is not the pace's run or anything like that. It is simply the compound noun løpsfart in the definite form.
