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.

How is forsvinner formed from the infinitive forsvinne, and what is its tense?

forsvinne means “to disappear.” In present tense you add -r to the stem:
forsvinne → forsvinner
This is the present tense form (the same for jeg, du, han, etc.).

Are there alternative ways to express “the fever disappears” in Norwegian?

Yes, common synonyms include:
• Feberen går over (the fever goes away)
• Feberen gir seg (the fever subsides)
• Feberen legger seg (the fever calms down)
• Feberen avtar (the fever diminishes)

How would you say “the fever disappeared this morning” if you want past tense and a specific time reference?

Use the past tense forsvant plus i morges (“this morning”):
Feberen forsvant i morges.

Why is Feberen capitalized at the beginning of the sentence, even though it’s not a proper noun?

As in English, the first word of every sentence is capitalized in Norwegian. Regular nouns (like feber) are only capitalized when they start a sentence or when they’re proper names.
