Questions & Answers about Hun erklærer resultatet.

Yes. Hun means she, and here it is the subject of the sentence — the person doing the action.

So in Hun erklærer resultatet, hun is the one who is declaring the result.

A useful comparison:

• hun = she
• henne = her (object form)

Example:

• Hun ser meg. = She sees me.
• Jeg ser henne. = I see her.

Why is the verb erklærer written with -er at the end?

Because erklærer is the present tense form of the verb å erklære (to declare).

In Norwegian, many verbs form the present tense with -er:

• å snakke → snakker
• å kjøpe → kjøper
• å erklære → erklærer

So:

• Hun erklærer resultatet. = She declares / is declaring the result.

A very important point for English speakers: Norwegian verbs do not change according to the subject the way English verbs sometimes do.

Compare:

• jeg erklærer
• du erklærer
• hun erklærer
• vi erklærer

The verb stays the same.
