Questions & Answers about Jeg liker en film.

How do you pronounce Jeg liker en film?

• Jeg is pronounced roughly like "yay," but with a slightly more open ‘a’ sound at the end.
• liker can be pronounced as "LEE-ker" (with a short, crisp ‘r’).
• en sounds close to "en" in English, but quickly and with no strong emphasis.
• film is pronounced roughly like "feelm," but the ‘i’ is a bit shorter than in English.

Why do we say en film instead of ei film or et film?
Norwegian nouns are divided into three grammatical genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. Film is masculine, so we use the masculine article en.
Why is the present-tense form liker used here?
In Norwegian, liker is the present tense of the verb å like (meaning to like). Unlike English, it doesn’t change with the subject—jeg liker, du liker, and so on all use the same form.
Can we rearrange the word order to say En film liker jeg?
Yes, you technically can, but it sounds more poetic or puts heavy emphasis on en film. The standard word order in Norwegian is subject–verb–object, so Jeg liker en film is the most common form.
If I change en film to filmen, does the meaning change?
Yes! En film means a movie (indefinite), while filmen means the movie (definite). So Jeg liker en film is about some movie, while Jeg liker filmen refers to a specific one.
