Questions & Answers about De snakker om moroa.

Why is De capitalized, and does it mean they or the polite you?

At the beginning of a sentence, de is capitalized automatically, so De here does not by itself mean the formal/polite you.

In modern Norwegian, a capitalized De can be a very formal, old-fashioned way to say you, but that usage is rare. In this sentence, if the meaning shown to you is plural, then this is the ordinary pronoun de = they.

Why is there no separate word for are in snakker?

Norwegian usually uses a simple present-tense verb where English often uses am/is/are + -ing.

So snakker can mean:

• speak
• talk
• is talking / are talking

The exact English translation depends on context. The dictionary form is snakke, and snakker is the present tense.

What does snakker om mean as a unit?

Snakke om means talk about.

Here:

• snakker = talk / are talking
• om = about

So snakker om is a very common and natural combination in Norwegian.

Why is it moroa instead of just moro?
