Understanding Norsk Prepositions of Time
Prepositions of time are special words that help us talk about when something happens. In Norsk, just like in English, we use these words to explain if something is happening now, later, or in the past. Let's learn about some of these important words.
Each of these prepositions is used in different situations. Let's look at them one by one.
'I' is used to talk about months, years, and specific times of the day. It helps us say when something happens in a more general sense.
Examples
- Jeg har bursdag i mai.
- Vi skal reise i 2023.
- Hun drikker kaffe i morgen.
'På' is used for days of the week and parts of the day. It helps us talk about more specific times.
Examples
- Vi skal på kino på fredag.
- Han jobber på kvelden.
- Hun har fri på lørdag.
'Til' is used to talk about the end of a time period. It helps us say when something stops happening.
Examples
- Jeg jobber til klokken fem.
- Hun leser til solen går ned.
- Vi venter til i morgen.
'Fra' is used to talk about the start of a time period. It helps us say when something begins.
Examples
- Vi starter fra klokken åtte.
- Hun løper fra mandag til fredag.
- Butikken er åpen fra morgen til kveld.
'Om' is used to talk about something that will happen in the future. It's like saying 'in' in English when talking about time.
Examples
- Jeg skal reise om to dager.
- Vi møtes om en time.
- Hun kommer om en uke.
