Lesson 2b = Gender, Basic Questions

GRAMMATIKK

In Norwegian there are three genders:

en = male (hannkjønn)

ei = female (hunkjønn)

Note: Female article can be replaced by the male article.
For example in Oslo female gender is almost not used.

Et = neuter (intetkjønn)


The indefinite article:

en butikk = a shop (male)

ei OR en bok = a book [female or male: see Note above]

et apotek = a pharmacy (neuter)


The definite article:
General rule: add the appropriate ending (en, et, or "a" for feminine) at the end of the noun

Butikken (male) = the store

boka (female) OR boken (male) = the book

apoteket (neuter) = the pharmacy
