Questions & Answers about Jeg bor her i dag.

Why do we use bor here instead of another verb?
In Norwegian, bor is the present tense of the verb bo, which translates loosely to "to live" or "to reside." Even if it's just for a short time (like a hotel stay), we often use bo rather than a different verb like "stay" in English.
Does i dag always mean "today," or can it imply something else?
I dag literally means "today" in Norwegian and is used whenever talking about the current day. It doesn't imply "tonight" or any other time, so it is quite specific to the present day.
Can her be replaced with other location words?
Yes, you can replace her (meaning "here") with a different place or address, such as i Norge ("in Norway") or i byen ("in the city"), depending on where you are living.
If I want to say "I am going to live here," how would I change the sentence?
You could say Jeg skal bo her, which translates to "I will live here" or "I am going to live here." The structure remains the same, but you replace bor (present tense) with skal bo (future tense).
Is jeg always capitalized, like "I" in English?
No, in Norwegian, jeg is only capitalized if it appears at the beginning of a sentence. Otherwise, it is written in lowercase. This differs from English, where "I" is always capitalized.
