Questions & Answers about Han kommer fra Oslo.
Why do we use Han instead of Ham in this context?
In Norwegian, Han is the subject pronoun meaning he. Ham is an object pronoun equivalent to him. Since we are talking about someone performing an action (kommer), we use the subject form Han.
What does kommer fra literally mean?
Kommer means comes or is coming, and fra means from. Together, kommer fra is how you say comes from in Norwegian.
Could we say Han er fra Oslo instead?
Yes, Han er fra Oslo (He is from Oslo) is also correct in Norwegian. However, Han kommer fra Oslo more directly references the idea of someone’s origin or where they come from when introducing them.
Why is Oslo capitalized?
Oslo is the name of a city (a proper noun) and is therefore capitalized in both Norwegian and English.
