Questions & Answers about Innreguleringsrapporten følger innreguleringen.

Why is innreguleringsrapporten one long word?

Because Norwegian, like German, often forms compound nouns by writing them as one word.

So innreguleringsrapporten can be broken down like this:

• innregulering = adjustment / regulation / balancing, depending on context
• rapport = report
• -en = the definite ending for a singular common-gender noun

So the whole word means something like the innregulering report or the adjustment report, depending on the context you were given.

This is very normal in Norwegian. English often uses several separate words where Norwegian prefers one compound word.

What is the -s- doing in innreguleringsrapporten?

That -s- is a linking element used in many Norwegian compounds.

Here:

• innregulering
• s
• rapport

This -s- does not usually have a meaning by itself. It just helps connect the parts of the compound in a natural-sounding way.

You will see this in many Norwegian compound nouns, for example:

• arbeidsdag = workday
• sikkerhetskontroll = security check
• utviklingsplan = development plan

So in innreguleringsrapporten, the -s- is there because that is the natural compound form.

Why do both nouns end in -en?
