Questions & Answers about Prisen er rimelig, så vi kjøper to.
Why is it Prisen with -en at the end?
Norwegian marks definiteness with a suffix. pris (price) is masculine:
- Indefinite: en pris
- Definite: prisen You use the definite form when the item is known from context (the price of this item). With a preposed determiner/adjective, you get “double definiteness”: den rimelige prisen (that/this reasonable price).
What nuance does rimelig have compared to billig?
- rimelig = reasonable, fairly priced, affordable (neutral/positive)
- billig = cheap (can imply low quality) Both can describe low prices, but rimelig avoids the “cheap and flimsy” vibe.
