Questions & Answers about Han kommer sent.
What does the pronoun Han mean in this sentence?
Han is the subject pronoun meaning "he". It indicates that the sentence is talking about a male person.
What does the verb kommer signify, and why doesn't it change with the subject?
kommer is the present tense of the verb å komme, which means "comes" or "arrives." In Norwegian, verbs do not conjugate according to the subject, so kommer is used for all subjects regardless of gender or number.
How is the adverb sent functioning in this sentence?
sent is an adverb describing the time of the action. It means "late" and tells us when the action is taking place—namely, that his arrival is delayed.
How does the word order in "Han kommer sent" compare to a similar English sentence?
The sentence follows a Subject-Verb-Adverb structure, which is very similar to English. Both Norwegian and English use a comparable order in this case (e.g., "He comes late").
Can the sentence be altered to express an even stronger sense of lateness?
Yes, to emphasize that his coming is excessively late, you could say "Han kommer for sent" where the addition of for conveys the meaning of "too late."
