Questions & Answers about LP-en har en A-side og en B-side.
Why does LP-en end in -en?
In Norwegian, the definite article is often attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word.
So:
- en LP = an LP
- LP-en = the LP
The -en ending is the definite form for many common gender nouns.
Because LP is an abbreviation, Norwegian usually adds the ending with a hyphen:
- LP-en
- TV-en
- PC-en
Why is there a hyphen in LP-en?
The hyphen is used because LP is an abbreviation made of capital letters. When Norwegian adds endings to abbreviations, it commonly uses a hyphen to make the word easier to read.
So:
- LP-en
- CD-en
- DNA-et
Without the hyphen, it would look awkward.
Why does the sentence use har?
Har is the present tense of å ha, which means to have.
So:
- LP-en har ... = The LP has ...
This is the normal verb to use when talking about what something possesses or contains.
