Questions & Answers about Dyrlegen kontrollerer poten, såret og symptomet før vaksinen.
Why is dyrlegen one word, and what exactly does it mean?
Dyrlegen means the veterinarian / the vet.
It is built from:
- dyr = animal
- lege = doctor
- dyrlege = veterinarian
- dyrlegen = the veterinarian
Norwegian often makes compound nouns by joining words together into one word. So where English might use two words, Norwegian often uses one.
Why do so many words in the sentence end in -en or -et?
Those endings show the definite form, which usually corresponds to English the.
In this sentence:
- dyrlegen = the vet
- poten = the paw
- såret = the wound
- symptomet = the symptom
- vaksinen = the vaccine
Unlike English, Norwegian often puts the at the end of the noun instead of using a separate word before it.
