Questions & Answers about Vi måler temperaturen hver morgen.
What is the infinitive form of måler, and how is it conjugated in the present tense?
The infinitive is å måle. To form the present tense in Norwegian, you drop the final -e and add -r, giving måler. It’s the same for all persons: jeg måler, du måler, han/hun måler, vi måler, etc.
Why is temperaturen in its definite form instead of just temperatur?
Because we’re talking about a specific thing—the temperature. In Norwegian, you mark definiteness by adding a suffix: for common‐gender nouns like temperatur, you add -en → temperaturen means the temperature.
Where in the sentence is the time expression hver morgen, and can its position change?
Here it comes at the end: Subject (Vi) – Verb (måler) – Object (temperaturen) – Adverbial (hver morgen). Thanks to the V2 rule, you can also front it:
Hver morgen måler vi temperaturen.
The finite verb (måler) stays in second position; the subject (vi) follows.
What’s the difference between hver morgen and om morgenen?
- hver morgen literally means each morning and stresses the repeated action (“every single morning”).
- om morgenen is a time‐of‐day expression more like in the mornings (general habit). Both are correct; the nuance is slight.
How do you pronounce måler and morgen?
- måler ≈ /ˈmoːlər/ (“MOH-ler”)
- morgen ≈ /ˈmɔrɡn̩/ (“MOR-gn”, with a soft g and the final -en often reduced to a syllabic n)
Can we omit temperaturen if context is clear?
Yes. If it’s obvious what you’re measuring, you can say Vi måler hver morgen (“We measure every morning”). But without the object it’s less specific.
How would you turn this into a question?
Invert the subject and the verb (V2 rule):
Måler vi temperaturen hver morgen?
(“Do we measure the temperature every morning?”)
