Questions & Answers about Jeg noterer prisen.
What does noterer mean, and what tense is it?
Noterer is the present indicative form (1st/3rd person singular) of the verb å notere, meaning to note or to record.
Why is prisen in the definite form with -en?
The suffix -en marks the definite singular in Norwegian. Here you’re referring to the specific price, so you need the definite form.
Can I say jeg noterer pris without -en?
Simply saying jeg noterer pris is unnatural. If you want an indefinite sense you must say jeg noterer en pris, which means you’re noting a price, not a particular one.
What’s the difference between jeg noterer prisen and jeg skriver ned prisen?
å notere is more formal and can mean to register or to note in a general sense. å skrive ned literally means to write down; it’s more colloquial but conveys the same idea.
Why does the verb come second in Jeg noterer prisen?
Norwegian main clauses follow the V2 word-order rule: the finite verb must occupy the second position, whatever comes first.
Is the subject pronoun jeg mandatory here? Can I drop it?
Norwegian normally requires subject pronouns in declarative sentences. Dropping jeg would sound incomplete and be unclear.
How do you pronounce noterer?
It’s roughly /nuˈteːrər/, with stress on the second syllable and a long eː sound.
Is notere related to the English note?
Yes, both come from the same Latin root and are cognates meaning to note or record.
How do I say I note the price of the item more fully?
You can add a prepositional phrase: Jeg noterer prisen på varen, literally I note the price of the item.
