Questions & Answers about I dag kommer få folk til møtet.
Norwegian is a V2 language (verb-second), much like German.
- The finite verb (here kommer) must be in second position in a main clause.
- When you move something to the front for emphasis, like I dag (today), the subject has to move after the verb.
So the structure is:
- I dag (fronted time expression)
- kommer (finite verb – must be in 2nd place)
- få folk (subject)
- til møtet (the rest of the sentence)
If you started with the subject instead, you would get:
- Få folk kommer til møtet i dag.
Here, få folk is in first position, so the verb can come right after it and V2 is still respected.
