Questions & Answers about Til slutt lagrer jeg artikkelen på min konto og leser hver setning en gang til.
What does til slutt mean in this sentence?
til slutt is an adverbial phrase meaning finally or in the end. It signals that this action comes after all previous steps.
Why does lagrer come before jeg here?
This is the V2 word order rule in Norwegian main clauses: the finite verb must be in the second position. Since til slutt occupies the first position, the verb (lagrer) must follow before the subject (jeg).
Why is artikkelen in the definite form instead of artikkel or en artikkel?
We use artikkelen (the article) because it refers to a specific article already mentioned or known in context. en artikkel would mean “any article,” not a particular one.
Why is it på min konto? Can I say på kontoen min instead?
The preposition på is used with konto to mean “on (my) account.” Both på min konto and på kontoen min are grammatically correct. kontoen min (with the definite article) is more common in speech, while min konto is perfectly fine in writing or formal contexts.
What does en gang til mean? Could I use igjen instead?
en gang til literally means one more time. You can indeed replace it with igjen, which also means again, so leser hver setning igjen is an equally natural alternative.
Why hver setning instead of alle setningene?
hver setning means each sentence, focusing on repeating them one by one. alle setningene means all the sentences collectively, which changes the nuance slightly but is still correct.
Why is jeg omitted before leser in the second clause?
In Norwegian, once you’ve established the subject (jeg) doing both actions, you normally omit it in the coordinated clause. So you say lagrer jeg … og leser … rather than repeating jeg.
Should I write én gang til with an accent on én?
Adding an accent (én) can emphasize the numeral one, but it’s optional. Writing en gang til without the accent is standard and always clear in this context.
