Questions & Answers about Unisonen justeres med stemmeskruen.
Why do unisonen and stemmeskruen end in -en?
The ending -en is the definite singular ending for many Norwegian common-gender nouns.
So:
- unison = unison / unison interval
- unisonen = the unison
and
- stemmeskrue = tuning screw / tuning peg
- stemmeskruen = the tuning screw / the tuning peg
In Norwegian, the idea of the is often added to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word, unlike English.
Why is there no separate word for the in the sentence?
Because Norwegian usually marks definiteness with a suffix on the noun.
Compare:
- English: the unison
Norwegian: unisonen
- English: the tuning screw
- Norwegian: stemmeskruen
So the sentence does not need a separate word like English the.
