Questions & Answers about Læreren kommenterer teksten i notatboken min.
Why is there no word for “on” in «kommenterer teksten»? In English we say “comment on the text.”
In Norwegian, kommentere is normally used as a transitive verb, so it takes a direct object without a preposition:
- å kommentere noe = to comment on something
So you say:
- Læreren kommenterer teksten.
The teacher comments on the text.
You don’t say kommentere på teksten in standard Norwegian for this meaning. The preposition på is not needed here.
