Questions & Answers about Læreren forklarer planen tydeligere i dag.
Why is it læreren and planen and not something with a separate word for the?
Norwegian usually puts the at the end of the noun as a suffix instead of using a separate word.
- lærer = teacher
læreren = the teacher ( -en is the definite suffix)
- plan = plan
- planen = the plan (again -en is the definite suffix)
So:
- en lærer = a teacher
- læreren = the teacher
- en plan = a plan
- planen = the plan
In this sentence both læreren and planen are specific, so they are in the definite form with the -en ending.
Why is the verb forklarer in the present tense? In English I would say is explaining.
