Questions & Answers about Luftmengden påvirker luftbalansen.

Why is luftmengden written as one word?

Because Norwegian usually writes compound nouns as a single word.

• luft = air
• mengde = amount, quantity

So luftmengde literally means air amount or amount of air.

The same pattern appears in luftbalansen:

• luft = air
• balanse = balance

English often uses separate words where Norwegian prefers one compound word.

Why does luftmengden end in -en?

The ending -en marks the noun as definite singular. In other words, it corresponds roughly to the in English.

• luftmengde = air amount / an amount of air
• luftmengden = the air amount / the amount of air

So instead of putting a separate word before the noun, Norwegian often adds the definite ending directly to the noun.

Why does luftbalansen also have -en at the end?

For the same reason: it is also definite singular.

• luftbalanse = air balance
• luftbalansen = the air balance

So both nouns in the sentence are definite:

• luftmengden = the amount of air
• luftbalansen = the air balance
