Questions & Answers about Leseren forstår artikkelen.
What does Leseren mean and how is it constructed?
Leseren means the reader. It’s formed from the noun leser (reader) by adding the definite suffix -en, which is how you say “the” for common-gender nouns in Bokmål.
What does artikkelen mean and how is it formed?
Artikkelen means the article. Like leseren, it’s built from artikkel (article) + the definite suffix -en.
How do I say a reader and an article in Norwegian?
Use the indefinite article en before a common-gender noun:
- en leser = a reader
- en artikkel = an article
Why is there no separate the before artikkelen?
In Norwegian Bokmål, the definite article is attached as a suffix (-en/-a/-et) rather than a separate word. So instead of the article, you write artikkelen.
Why is Leseren capitalized here?
