Questions & Answers about Strømmepakken koster mer etter introduksjonstilbudet.

Why is strømmepakken one word, and how do I know it means the streaming package?

Norwegian very often combines nouns into one compound word. Here, strømmepakken is the definite singular form of strømmepakke.

The last part of a compound is the main noun:

• pakke = package
• strømmepakke = streaming package
• strømmepakken = the streaming package

Because pakke is a common-gender noun (en pakke), the definite singular becomes pakken inside the compound.

Why is there no separate word for the?

In Norwegian, the is usually built into the noun as an ending.

Examples:

• pakke = a package
• pakken = the package
• tilbud = an offer
• tilbudet = the offer

So both strømmepakken and introduksjonstilbudet already include the idea of the.

A separate word like den/det is usually added in special cases, especially with adjectives:

• det nye tilbudet = the new offer

Why is it koster mer instead of er dyrere?

Both are possible, but koster mer is especially natural when talking about price.

• koster mer = costs more
• er dyrere = is more expensive

With subscriptions, plans, and products, Norwegian often uses koste when the focus is on what the customer pays.
