Questions & Answers about Jeg har tid nå.

How do you pronounce Jeg?

Jeg is often pronounced like "yai" in Norwegian. The "g" is typically silent or very soft.

Why is the verb har used instead of something else?

In Norwegian, har means "have," and it's used here to indicate present possession or availability of something—here, it's tid (time).

Is tid always used to mean "time"?

Generally, tid is the Norwegian word for "time," especially referring to the concept of having time available. In other contexts, you might see variations like tiden (the time), but tid itself is the base form.

Why does nå appear at the end of the sentence?

It's common in Norwegian to place short adverbs, like nå (now), at the end of a statement. This word order emphasizes that the speaker has time specifically "now."

Do I have to use Jeg every time, or can I drop it like in some languages?

In Norwegian, personal pronouns are generally required in sentences, unlike in languages where subject pronouns can be omitted. So you should keep Jeg (I) at the beginning of the sentence.
