Questions & Answers about Hun liker yrket.
Why is it yrket and not just yrke?
Because yrket is the definite singular form of yrke.
- yrke = profession / occupation / trade
- et yrke = a profession
- yrket = the profession
In Norwegian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like the in English.
What gender is yrke, and how does that affect the form?
Yrke is a neuter noun in Norwegian.
That is why its forms are:
- et yrke = an occupation
- yrket = the occupation
For many neuter nouns, the definite singular ending is -et.
So:
- hus → huset
- yrke → yrket
What does hun mean, and is it always used for she?
Yes, hun is the standard Norwegian subject pronoun meaning she.
It is used the same way as English she when it is the subject of the sentence:
- Hun liker yrket. = She likes the profession.
- Hun jobber her. = She works here.
If you needed her instead of she, Norwegian would normally use henne.
