Questions & Answers about Hun er sosial.

What does “Hun” mean exactly, and is it always feminine?

Hun means “she” and is the standard 3rd person singular feminine subject pronoun in Norwegian.

• Hun = she (subject)
  
  • Hun er sosial. = She is social.
• Related forms:
  
  • henne = her (object)
    
    • Jeg liker henne. = I like her.
  • hennes = her / hers (possessive)
    
    • Det er boka hennes. = That is her book.

Norwegian does not capitalize pronouns like English does for “I”. So hun is written with a lowercase h unless at the beginning of a sentence, as here. It is always feminine; there is no gender‑neutral everyday equivalent like English singular “they” (though hen is used in some contexts as a gender‑neutral pronoun, but it’s not yet fully mainstream everywhere).
