Questions & Answers about Feberen forsvinner om morgenen.

What does feberen mean, and why does it have -en at the end?

feberen is the definite form of the noun feber, so it means the fever. In Norwegian, instead of a separate word like “the,” you attach -en (for common‐gender nouns) to the end of the noun:
• feber → feberen (“the fever”)

How do you say a fever in Norwegian?

The indefinite form (meaning “a fever”) is en feber. Some dialects and Nynorsk use ei feber, but in standard Bokmål you’ll see en feber.

What does om morgenen mean, and why can’t I say om morgen or i morgen?

om morgenen means in the morning (in general). Explanation:
• After the preposition om, time‐of‐day nouns take the definite singular: om morgenen, om kvelden, om natten.
• You cannot say om morgen because after om you need the definite form (–en).
• i morgen means tomorrow, not “in the morning.”

If I move om morgenen to the start of the sentence, do I need to change the word order?

Yes. Norwegian follows the V2 (verb-second) rule. When an adverbial phrase comes first, the finite verb must follow it, then the subject:
Om morgenen forsvinner feberen.
