Questions & Answers about Vi ser blomster overalt.

Why does the sentence start with vi?

Vi means we. It is the subject of the sentence, so it comes first in a normal statement.

Norwegian basic word order is often:

Subject + Verb + Rest

So:

Vi = we
ser = see
blomster overalt = flowers everywhere

That gives:

Vi ser blomster overalt. = We see flowers everywhere.

Why is it ser and not something different for we?

In Norwegian, verbs usually do not change form depending on the subject the way they do in English.

So with the verb å se = to see, the present tense is ser for all persons:

• jeg ser = I see
• du ser = you see
• han/hun ser = he/she sees
• vi ser = we see
• dere ser = you all see
• de ser = they see

So ser is correct with vi.

Why is there no separate word for are, as in we are seeing?
