Questions & Answers about Bussen kommer om en time.
What does om mean in om en time in this sentence?
In temporal expressions, om means “in” as in “after a period of time.” So om en time translates to “in an hour.”
Why is the present‐tense verb kommer used to refer to a future event?
Norwegian often uses the present tense to talk about future actions when there’s a time adverbial. Here, kommer + om en time indicates that the bus will arrive one hour from now.
What is the grammatical gender of buss, and how do you form its definite singular?
buss is a common‐gender noun (indefinite article en). To form the definite singular, you add the suffix -en, giving bussen (“the bus”).
Why is en time indefinite rather than definite (not timen)?
You’re not referring to a specific hour you’ve already identified—just “an hour” in general. The indefinite article en signals that.
How do you say “in two hours” in Norwegian?
