Questions & Answers about Vi snakker med hverandre.

What does hverandre mean and how is it formed?
Hverandre is a reciprocal pronoun meaning “each other”. It’s formed from hver (“each”) + andre (“other”) and always appears as one word in Norwegian.
Why do we need the preposition med in Vi snakker med hverandre?
In Norwegian, the verb snakke (to speak/talk) requires med when indicating the other party you’re talking to—just like talk with in English. You cannot drop it: Vi snakker hverandre is ungrammatical.
Can we say Vi snakker sammen instead of Vi snakker med hverandre?
Yes, Vi snakker sammen literally means “we talk together”. It emphasizes the joint activity, while Vi snakker med hverandre highlights the reciprocal nature of speaking to one another. Both are correct but slightly different in nuance.
What’s the difference between the reciprocal pronoun hverandre and the reflexive pronoun seg?
A reflexive pronoun (seg) refers back to the same subject (singular or plural): e.g. Han vasker seg (“He washes himself”). A reciprocal pronoun (hverandre) indicates mutual action between members of a plural subject: e.g. De hjelper hverandre (“They help each other”).
Can med hverandre be moved around in the sentence?
Yes, for emphasis or stylistic reasons you can front it: Med hverandre snakker vi ofte norsk (“We often speak Norwegian with each other”). Standard word order is Subject–Verb–Object: Vi snakker med hverandre.
How do you express a possessive relationship like “each other’s” in Norwegian?
Use the genitive form hverandres. For example: Vi respekterer hverandres meninger (“We respect each other’s opinions”).
Is hverandre only for two people, or can it be used with more?
Hverandre works with any plural subject, whether it’s two people or many. For example: Studentene hjelper hverandre can refer to three, ten or a hundred students helping one another.
