Questions & Answers about Jeg jobber hver dag.

Why is jobber spelled with a double b?

In Norwegian, certain verbs that end with -e in the infinitive can have a doubled consonant when you add the -er ending in the present tense. The verb å jobbe (to work) becomes jobber in the present tense, hence the double b.

Can I use arbeider instead of jobber?

Yes, arbeider is also correct and means roughly the same thing. Arbeider is slightly more formal, while jobber is very common in everyday speech. Both translate as I work in English.

Why do I see hver instead of words like alle or hver eneste?

In Norwegian, hver (every) works best for expressing something that happens daily, like a routine. Alle dager (all days) could sound less natural in this context. Hver eneste dag (every single day) adds extra emphasis to stress the idea of not missing a single day.

Is the word order always Jeg jobber hver dag, or can it change?

The most common word order in statements follows the pattern [Subject] + [Verb] + [Time]. So Jeg jobber hver dag is the standard form. You could say Hver dag jobber jeg, but that sounds a bit more emphatic, highlighting hvor ofte (how often) you work.

Are there any pronunciation tips for hver?

The h can be very soft, almost silent, and v is pronounced distinctly. You might hear something like vair in casual conversation, but exact pronunciation can vary by region.
