Questions & Answers about Læreren viser hvordan vi kan oversette spørsmål som vi ikke forstår.
Viser comes from å vise and can mean both to show (someone something) and to demonstrate.
- In Læreren viser hvordan vi kan oversette …, it is best understood as “The teacher demonstrates / shows how we can translate …”.
- Because viser here has the sense of demonstrates, it does not need a direct object like oss.
You could say:
- Læreren viser oss hvordan vi kan oversette spørsmål som vi ikke forstår.
= The teacher shows us how we can translate questions that we don’t understand.
Both are correct, but without oss the focus is more on the act of demonstrating itself, not on whom it is shown to.
