Questions & Answers about Vinden blåser sterkere i kveld.

Why does it say Vinden with -en at the end? Can’t I just say vind?

Vinden means the wind. In Norwegian, the definite article is usually a suffix on the noun: vind (wind) → vinden (the wind). As a general weather statement, Norwegians often use the dummy subject det: Det blåser (It’s windy). Saying bare vind as the subject is not idiomatic; you’d use vinden if you want to talk about the (specific/current) wind, or use det for the general weather.

Can I say Det blåser sterkere i kveld instead? Is it more natural?

Yes. Det blåser sterkere i kveld is very natural and is the default way to talk about wind as weather. Vinden blåser… is fine too, just a bit more literal/thing-focused.

Why is it sterkere and not mer sterkt?

Comparatives of many short adjectives are formed with -ere, not with mer. Sterk → sterkere → sterkest. You’d use mer with many longer adjectives (e.g., interessant → mer interessant). Here, mer sterkt sounds odd.

Is sterkere an adjective or an adverb here?

An adverb. It modifies the verb blåser (how the wind blows). The positive adverb is sterkt (It blows strongly: Det blåser sterkt), the comparative is sterkere.
