Questions & Answers about Vi legger avtalen i kalenderen og ber om en ny påminnelse.

Why is it legger here and not something like setter or putter?

• legge (legger) is the default for “put/lay (into/onto)” and collocates very well with calendars: legge (noe) i kalenderen / legge inn i kalenderen.
• sette (setter) is “set/put upright” and is used in expressions like sette opp et møte (“set up a meeting”). You wouldn’t normally say sette (noe) i kalenderen.
• putte (putter) is colloquial and used for physically putting small things into containers (e.g., putte nøklene i lomma). It’s not idiomatic for calendar entries.
• Other natural options: legge inn, føre inn, føre opp, notere i kalenderen.

What’s the difference between å legge and å ligge?

• å legge = to lay/put something down (transitive; needs an object): Vi legger avtalen i kalenderen.
• å ligge = to lie/be located (intransitive; no object): Avtalen ligger i kalenderen.
