Questions & Answers about Han har flere venner.
What does Han mean in this sentence?
Han is the Norwegian pronoun for he. It corresponds directly to the English pronoun used to refer to a male subject.
How does the verb har work in this sentence?
Har means has in English. Unlike English, Norwegian verbs do not change form according to the subject, so har is used with all subjects in the present tense.
What does flere indicate in this sentence?
Flere is an adjective meaning several or more. It conveys that the subject possesses a number of something—in this case, friends—without specifying an exact count.
Why is the noun venner used without an article?
In Norwegian, indefinite plural nouns typically do not require an article. Venner is the plural form of venn (friend), and when referring to friends in general (i.e., not specific friends), no article is needed.
How does the structure of this sentence compare to a standard English sentence?
The structure is similar to English, following a subject-verb-object order. Han (subject) comes first, followed by har (verb), and then flere venner (object), mirroring the typical English sentence “He has several friends.”
