Questions & Answers about Testavspillingen skjer ved lyttestasjonen.

Why is Testavspillingen written as one word?

Because Norwegian usually writes compound nouns as a single word.

So:

• test = test
• avspilling = playback

Together, testavspilling means test playback.
Then the ending -en is added to make it definite: testavspillingen = the test playback.

This is very normal in Norwegian. English often separates these words, but Norwegian usually joins them.

What does the -en at the end of Testavspillingen mean?

The -en is the definite ending for many masculine nouns in Norwegian.

Here is the pattern:

• en avspilling = a playback
• avspillingen = the playback

Since testavspilling is a compound noun built on avspilling, it becomes:

• en testavspilling = a test playback
• testavspillingen = the test playback

So Norwegian often puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like English does.
