Questions & Answers about Jeg trenger informasjonen om møtet.

Why is there no article before informasjon in the indefinite form?

informasjon is a mass (uncountable) noun in Norwegian, so you don’t use the indefinite article en. You simply say informasjon when talking about it in general (just like “I need water,” not “I need a water”).

Why does informasjonen end with -en, and why does møtet end with -et?

In Bokmål you form the definite singular by adding a suffix:

• Feminine or common-gender nouns take -en: informasjon → informasjonen (“the information”).
• Neuter nouns take -et: møte → møtet (“the meeting”).
  You don’t use a separate word like det; the meaning “the” is built into the ending.

What does the preposition om mean here, and when do I use it?

Here om means “about” or “regarding.” You use om + [noun] whenever you want to say that something is about a topic:
• en bok om historie = “a book about history”
• spørsmål om prosjektet = “questions about the project.”

When would I use et møte (a meeting) instead of møtet (the meeting)?
