Grammatikk
1 Nouns: definite plural
In Unit 3 you looked at nouns in the indefinite and the definite singu-
lar, and in the indefinite plural. Here is a quick reminder:
Indefinite singular: en bil a car (any one car)
Definite singular: bilen the car (one particular car)
Indefinite plural: biler cars (cars in general -
more than one)
The final form of the noun is the definite plural:
Definite plural: bilene the cars (some particular cars -
more than one)
Bilene er store. The cars are big.
The definite plural is formed by adding -ene to the noun. This rule
covers both -en and -et words.
et kart a map
kartet the map
kart maps
kartene maps
(Did you remember that short -et words have no added ending in the
indefinite plural? E.g. et kart, mange kart)
2 Adjective and noun (part 3)
This is the final part about the adjective and noun combination.
Here's the definite plural: bilene (the cars).
Bilene er der. The cars are there.
De store bilene er der. The big cars are there.
In the definite plural - just as in the definite singular - there is a
definite article as well as the definite ending when the noun is pre-
ceded by an adjective.
Bilene. The cars.
De store bilene. The big cars.
