Questions & Answers about Håndverkeren kommer sannsynligvis i morgen.

Why is it håndverkeren and not just håndverker?

Håndverkeren is the noun håndverker (craftsman / tradesperson / contractor) with the definite ending -en (common gender), meaning the craftsman/tradesperson.

• en håndverker = a craftsman
• håndverkeren = the craftsman
  Norwegian often prefers the definite form when the person is known from context (e.g., “the contractor we talked about”).

What does the ending -en tell me about the noun?

It tells you the noun is common gender (en-words) and definite singular.
Typical pattern:

• en håndverker (indefinite singular)
• håndverkeren (definite singular)
  Plural is different (and can vary by word), but the key point here is: -en = the (one) for many en-words.

Why is the verb kommer and not komme?

Because kommer is the present tense form of å komme (to come). In Norwegian, you need a conjugated verb in a main clause:

• å komme = infinitive (to come)
• kommer = present (comes / is coming)
• kom = past (came)
  So Håndverkeren kommer ... is a complete clause with a finite verb.
