Questions & Answers about Vi må utsette møtet til i morgen.
What does the verb utsette mean, and how is it used in this sentence?
utsette means “to postpone” or “to delay.” It’s a transitive verb, so it takes a direct object (here møtet). In the sentence Vi må utsette møtet til i morgen, it tells us we need to move the meeting to a later time.
Why do we use til i morgen instead of just i morgen?
When you use utsette you often need a preposition to show the new time. til indicates “to” or “until,” so til i morgen literally means “to tomorrow.” You still keep i because i morgen is the standard way of saying “tomorrow” in Norwegian.
Can I drop the i and say til morgen?
In most cases you should keep i: til i morgen. Dropping it sounds non-standard or dialectal. If you say til morgen, people will understand, but it’s not the normal written form.
What’s the difference between til and frem til when talking about time?
til alone marks a point in time you reach or move something to. frem til (or fram til) adds the nuance “up until” a point in time, often stressing duration (e.g. Vi jobber frem til klokka fem = “We’re working until five o’clock”). Here, til i morgen simply sets the new start time.
