Questions & Answers about Utgiftsoversikten viser dobbeltabonnementet.

Why is Utgiftsoversikten one long word?

Because Norwegian very often forms compound nouns by writing the parts together as a single word.

Here, Utgiftsoversikten is built from:

• utgift = expense
• oversikt = overview, summary
• -en = the definite ending

So the structure is roughly:

• utgift + oversikt + en
• expense + overview + the

In English, we usually write this as separate words, such as the expense overview or the expense summary, but in Norwegian it is normal to combine them into one noun.

Why does Utgiftsoversikten end in -en?

The ending -en marks the noun as definite, meaning the ... rather than just a/an ....

So:

• oversikt = an overview / overview
• oversikten = the overview

In this sentence, the full compound becomes:

• utgiftsoversikt = expense overview
• utgiftsoversikten = the expense overview

This is a very common Norwegian pattern: instead of putting the before the noun, Norwegian often adds the definiteness to the end of the noun.
