Vi skulle møtes i kveld, men møtet ble flyttet til i morgen.

Skulle is the past tense of skal, but here it often means more than simple past. In this sentence, vi skulle møtes means something like:

• we were supposed to meet
• we had planned to meet
• we were going to meet

So it refers to an arrangement or expectation that existed earlier. Because the sentence then says the meeting was moved, skulle fits very naturally.

Compare:

• Vi skal møtes i kveld. = We are going to meet tonight.
• Vi skulle møtes i kveld. = We were supposed to meet tonight.

Møtes means meet each other or simply meet in the sense of two or more people meeting.

The -s form is commonly used for reciprocal meaning in Norwegian, where the action goes both ways between the people involved.

So:

• Vi møtes = We meet / We are meeting / We meet each other

This is different from using the verb on just one object:

• Jeg møter ham = I meet him

In Vi skulle møtes, the -s shows that the meeting is mutual.

Because møtet is the definite form of the noun et møte.

• et møte = a meeting
• møtet = the meeting

Norwegian usually adds the definite article to the end of the noun instead of using a separate word like English the.

So:

• møtet ble flyttet = the meeting was moved

Yes. Møte can be:

• a verb: å møte = to meet
• a noun: et møte = a meeting

In this sentence, both appear:

• møtes = verb
• møtet = noun

This is very common in Norwegian, and the form in the sentence tells you which one it is.

Ble flyttet is a passive construction.

• ble = was
• flyttet = moved

So møtet ble flyttet means the meeting was moved.

This is one common way to make the passive in Norwegian:
bli + past participle

Examples:

• Døren ble åpnet. = The door was opened.
• Planen ble endret. = The plan was changed.

Yes, sometimes Norwegian can use the -s passive, but here ble flyttet is the most natural choice.

For example, Norwegian can say:

• Døren åpnes = The door is opened / opens
• Boken selges = The book is sold

But for a specific event in the past, ble + participle is usually clearer and more natural:

• Møtet ble flyttet til i morgen.

That sounds like a concrete action that happened.

I kveld means this evening / tonight.

It is a fixed time expression:

• i dag = today
• i kveld = tonight / this evening
• i morgen = tomorrow

Even though i often means in, these expressions should usually be learned as whole phrases.

So:

• Vi skulle møtes i kveld = We were supposed to meet tonight

Because standard Norwegian writes it as i morgen.

• i morgen = tomorrow

This is one of those expressions learners just need to memorize as a fixed phrase. The same is true for:

• i dag = today
• i går = yesterday

You may sometimes see nonstandard spellings in casual writing, but i morgen is the correct standard form.

Because til shows the idea of something being moved to a new time.

• flyttet til i morgen = moved to tomorrow

If you only said flyttet i morgen, that would sound more like moved tomorrow—that the moving happens tomorrow.

So the difference is important:

• Møtet ble flyttet til i morgen. = The meeting was moved to tomorrow.
• Møtet ble flyttet i morgen. = The meeting was moved tomorrow. (different meaning)

Because men is a coordinating conjunction, like English but.

After men, Norwegian keeps normal main-clause word order:

• ..., men møtet ble flyttet ...

Compare that with a sentence starting with an adverbial, where inversion happens:

• I morgen blir møtet flyttet.

So after men, you do not invert the verb and subject just because men is there.

Because Norwegian normally uses a comma before men when it joins two main clauses.

Here the two clauses are:

• Vi skulle møtes i kveld
• men møtet ble flyttet til i morgen

That comma is standard and natural.

In this sentence, yes, that is the clear implication, because the second clause says:

• men møtet ble flyttet til i morgen

So the original plan was to meet tonight, but that plan changed.

On its own, vi skulle møtes just means there was a plan or expectation. Context tells you whether it actually happened.

Yes, but Vi skulle møtes is much more natural.

• Vi skulle møtes = We were supposed to meet
• Vi skulle møte hverandre = We were supposed to meet each other

The version with hverandre is more explicit and can sound heavier than necessary. Norwegian often prefers the shorter reciprocal -s form when possible.

Here are the main forms:

• vi = we
• skulle ← infinitive/base idea: skulle / skulle as modal past form of skal
• møtes ← related to å møtes
• i kveld = tonight
• men = but
• møtet ← from et møte
• ble ← past tense of å bli
• flyttet ← past participle of å flytte
• til i morgen = to tomorrow

This is useful because Norwegian often changes forms by tense, definiteness, or verb construction, so recognizing the base form helps a lot.
