Questions & Answers about Du har vann.
What does 'har' mean in this sentence?
Har is the present tense form of the verb å ha, which means to have in English. So in Norwegian, Du har vann directly translates to You have water.
How do I pronounce 'vann' in Norwegian?
Vann is typically pronounced like /vɑn/, similar to the English "fun" but starting with a V sound. It has a short a vowel, and the ending nn is also distinctly pronounced.
Why not say 'Du har vannet'?
Adding -et at the end makes it definite, meaning the water. Du har vannet would translate to You have the water. If you just want to say You have water in general, you use vann in the indefinite form.
Is 'du' always capitalized in Norwegian?
No, in modern Norwegian, du is not usually capitalized within a sentence. You will see du with a lowercase 'd' unless it is at the beginning of a sentence or part of a title.
Can I say 'Du har litt vann' instead?
Yes, you can say Du har litt vann to mean You have a little water or You have some water. It is more specific, implying a certain quantity of water rather than just indicating possession.
