Questions & Answers about Jeg trener hver morgen, for jeg ønsker å holde meg sunn.

What does the word for mean in this sentence?
In this context, for means because. It introduces the reason for the action in the first part of the sentence, explaining why the speaker trains every morning.
Why is the reflexive pronoun meg used in holde meg sunn?
In Norwegian, certain verbs require a reflexive pronoun to indicate that the subject is acting upon itself. Here, holde meg sunn translates to keep myself healthy, so meg is necessary to show that the subject is maintaining its own health.
What is the role of hver in hver morgen?
The word hver means every. When used with morgen (morning), it indicates that the activity occurs each morning without exception, similar to the English expression every morning.
Why is the infinitive marker å used before holde?
In Norwegian, the marker å is used to form the infinitive of a verb, much like to in English. In ønsker å holde, it introduces the action (keep) that the speaker desires to perform, following the verb ønsker (wishes/ wants).
Why is there a comma before for in the sentence?
The comma separates two linked clauses. In Norwegian punctuation, it's common to place a comma before conjunctions like for when they introduce a clause that provides reasoning or explanation. Here, it clearly divides the main statement from the explanation of why the speaker trains each morning.
