Questions & Answers about Kampen blir flyttet på grunn av vind.

Why is it Kampen and not Kamp?

Norwegian marks definiteness with a suffix. kampen = “the match,” while kamp = “match” (unspecified). You use the definite form when a specific, known match is meant (just like English uses “the”).

What gender is kamp, and what are its common forms?

It’s masculine.

• Indefinite singular: en kamp
• Definite singular: kampen
• Indefinite plural: kamper
• Definite plural: kampene

Does kamp mean “match” or “fight”?

Both, depending on context. In sports it’s “match/game.” In other contexts it can mean “fight/struggle” (e.g., frihetskamp “freedom struggle”). Context disambiguates.

Why use blir flyttet? What does this passive mean?

This is the “bli-passive”: bli + past participle (here flyttet). It presents an action happening to the subject (by someone unstated) and often implies a change/decision in effect now or soon. It’s close to “is being moved” or “will be moved,” depending on context.

Can I say Kampen flyttes instead?
