Questions & Answers about Klassen begynner om morgenen.
What does klassen mean and why does it have the -en ending?
klassen is the definite singular form of klasse (class). In Norwegian, you add -en to a masculine noun (or -a to a feminine noun) to make it definite. Thus klasse = “a class,” and klassen = “the class.”
How is the verb begynner formed, and why isn’t it begynneres or something else?
begynner is the present tense of å begynne (to begin/to start). Norwegian verbs do not change form according to person: jeg begynner, du begynner, han begynner all look the same in the present tense.
Why is the time expression om morgenen used instead of i morgen?
om morgenen means “in the morning” in a general or habitual sense. i morgen means “tomorrow.” If you want “tomorrow morning,” you’d say i morgen tidlig.
Could I say på morgenen instead of om morgenen?
