Questions & Answers about Jeg fortsetter å spørre fordi jeg ikke har fått svar.

What does fortsette mean, and how is it used in Jeg fortsetter å spørre?

Fortsette means to continue. In the sentence it’s conjugated in the present tense as fortsetter to show an ongoing action: “I continue…”

Why is there an å before spørre?

In Norwegian, when one verb (here fortsetter) is followed by another in the infinitive, you normally insert å before the second verb. So fortsette å spørre literally means continue to ask.

Could I say Jeg spør fortsatt instead of Jeg fortsetter å spørre?

Yes. Spørre + the adverb fortsatt (“still”) is a perfectly natural alternative:
Jeg spør fortsatt fordi jeg ikke har fått svar.
Both versions convey that you’re still asking.
