Questions & Answers about Skylagringen krever programvarelisens.

Why does skylagringen end in -en?

Because Norwegian often puts the definite article at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word in front.

• skylagring = cloud storage
• skylagringen = the cloud storage / the cloud-storage service

So -en here marks a singular definite noun. It suggests a specific cloud-storage system or service, not cloud storage in general.

Why is skylagringen written as one word?

Norwegian usually writes compound nouns as a single word.

Here, skylagringen is built like this:

• sky = cloud
• lagring = storage
• skylagring = cloud storage
• skylagringen = the cloud storage

This is very common in Norwegian. Where English often uses two words, Norwegian often prefers one compound word.

What form is krever?

Krever is the present tense of å kreve, which means to require.

Examples:

• jeg krever = I require
• du krever = you require
• systemet krever = the system requires

In Norwegian, the present tense form is the same for all persons, so you do not change it the way English changes require to requires.
