Questions & Answers about Dere har bøker.
How do I pronounce Dere har bøker in Norwegian?
• Dere sounds somewhat like DEH-reh, with a short “e” similar to the e in den.
• har is pronounced like har, with an open “a” sound (similar to the “a” in father).
• bøker is pronounced roughly like BØH-ker, where ø is a rounded front vowel (similar to the “u” in burn for some speakers of English), and the r is tapped or slightly rolled.
What is the difference between Dere and Du?
• Du is used when talking to one person (“you” singular).
• Dere is used when addressing two or more people (“you” plural).
Why use har here?
Har is the present tense form of the verb meaning “to have” in Norwegian. It doesn’t change for different subjects, so Dere har simply means “you (plural) have.”
Is there any special form of bøker when it is definite?
Yes. Bøker is the indefinite plural form of bok (“book”). When you want to say the books, you use bøkene (definite plural).
