Questions & Answers about Vi danser sammen.

What does vi mean, and when do I use it?

Vi is the subject pronoun for we.

You use vi when we are the ones doing the action:

• Vi danser. = We dance / We are dancing.
• Vi synger. = We sing / We are singing.

A useful comparison:

• vi = we (subject)
• oss = us (object)

So Vi danser sammen uses vi because we are doing the dancing.

Why is it danser and not danse?

Because danser is the present tense form of the verb.

• å danse = to dance (infinitive)
• danser = dance / am dancing / are dancing / is dancing

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

• å danse → danser
• å snakke → snakker
• å leve → lever

So in Vi danser sammen, danser is the correct finite verb.

Does danser change depending on the subject, like I dance vs in English?
