Questions & Answers about Hun går til restauranten hver helg.

Why do we use Hun instead of another pronoun?

Hun is the Norwegian feminine subject pronoun (equivalent to 'she'). In Bokmål, hun is the standard form to refer to a female subject.

Why do we say går rather than another verb like drar?

Går focuses on the act of walking or going on foot. Drar is more general and can be used for going somewhere by various means of transport. In this sentence, specifying that she går implies walking or simply the act of going (often on foot).

Why does the sentence use til with restauranten?

The preposition til in Norwegian generally means "to" or "toward." It’s used here to indicate movement toward the restaurant: she goes to the restaurant.

Why is restauranten in the definite form?

Norwegian typically uses the definite form with place nouns when referring to a specific location that both speaker and listener might already know. So restauranten (definite form) suggests a known or familiar restaurant.

Why is it hver helg instead of something like hver helgene?

In Norwegian, hver (meaning "every") is followed by the singular form of the noun (e.g., hver dag, "every day"). Helg remains singular here, so hver helg means "every weekend." Using helgene (the weekends) would not fit grammatically with hver.
