Questions & Answers about Jeg bor her.
How do I pronounce jeg in Norwegian?
Jeg is typically pronounced somewhat like "yay" or "yai" in many Norwegian dialects. The g at the end is usually silent or very soft, so you mainly hear the vowel-like sound.
Do I need to capitalize jeg (like I in English)?
No. In Norwegian, jeg is only capitalized at the beginning of a sentence. It doesn’t get capitalized all the time like I in English.
Why does bor look so short? Is it the correct present tense of å bo?
Yes, bor is the present tense of å bo (to live). Norwegian verbs generally have simple, fewer variations compared to English. The form bor covers I live, you live, he/she lives, etc.
Can I change the word order in Jeg bor her?
Typically, Jeg bor her (subject–verb–adverb) is the standard structure for a statement. Norwegian can sometimes place her elsewhere for emphasis, but you’ll most commonly hear and see it as Jeg bor her.
