Questions & Answers about Han er interessert i musikk.
Why is it er and not har in Han er interessert i musikk?
Because interessert is used like an adjective here, not like a main verb.
So Norwegian says:
- Han er interessert i musikk = He is interested in music
This works like English:
- He is tired
- He is happy
- He is interested in music
Even though interessert originally comes from a past participle, in this sentence it functions as an adjective, so it goes with er.
What exactly does interessert mean, and is it the same as interesting?
No. Interessert means interested, not interesting.
- interessert = interested
- interessant = interesting
So:
- Han er interessert i musikk = He is interested in music
- Musikk er interessant = Music is interesting
This is a very common learner mix-up.
