Questions & Answers about Hun mater katten og gir den fôr og en godbit.

Why is it mater and gir, not å mate and å gi?

Because this is a complete statement in the present tense.

• å mate = to feed (infinitive)

• å gi = to give
• gir = gives / is giving

In Norwegian, the present tense is often made by adding -r to the verb:

• å mate → mater
• å gi → gir
