Questions & Answers about Hun lufter hunden hver morgen.

Why is it hunden and not just hund?

Because hunden is the definite form: the dog.

In Norwegian, the definite article is usually attached to the end of the noun instead of being a separate word like English the.

• en hund = a dog
• hunden = the dog

So in this sentence, hunden refers to a specific dog, probably one already known from the context.

What is the base form of lufter?

The base form is å lufte.

Here, lufter is the present tense form:

• å lufte = to air / to take out
• lufter = airs / takes out

With a dog, å lufte hunden usually means to take the dog out, often for fresh air, exercise, or a walk.

Why is it lufter for hun? Shouldn’t the verb change differently for she?
