Questions & Answers about Hotellet som er ved kysten er stille om morgenen.

What is the structure of hotellet?
hotellet is the definite form of hotell. In Norwegian, you add the definite article as a suffix: hotell + -et → hotellet, meaning “the hotel.”
What is the role of som in the sentence?
som is a relative pronoun meaning “that” or “which.” It introduces the relative clause som er ved kysten (“that is by the coast”).
Why is the verb er placed immediately after som?
In Norwegian subordinate clauses (like relative clauses), the word order is subject–verb–object. Here, som functions as the subject of the clause, so you get som (subject) + er (verb) + ved kysten (complement).
What does ved kysten mean and why is kysten definite?
ved means “by” or “at.” kysten is the definite form of kyst (“coast”), so ved kysten = “by the coast.” The suffix -en on kyst makes it “the coast.”
Why is stille used without an article before om morgenen?
Here stille is a predicative adjective following the verb er, so it remains in its base form without an article: er stille = “is quiet.” Predicative adjectives in Norwegian are not inflected like nouns.
What is the time expression om morgenen?
om morgenen literally means “in the mornings.” The preposition om + the definite plural time word expresses habitual action or a general time frame, i.e. “in the morning (every morning).”
Can we omit som er and just say hotellet ved kysten?
Yes. In many contexts you can drop som er and simply say hotellet ved kysten, which still means “the hotel by the coast.” Using som er is more explicit or formal for a relative clause.
