Understanding Norwegian Subject Pronouns
In Norwegian, subject pronouns are words we use to talk about people or things without saying their names. These words help us know who or what is doing an action in a sentence.
The Norwegian Subject Pronouns
Important Points
- Jeg - I
- Du - You (singular)
- Han - He
- Hun - She
- Den - It (for masculine and feminine nouns)
- Det - It (for neuter nouns)
- Vi - We
- Dere - You (plural)
- De - They
Each of these pronouns is used to replace a noun in a sentence. This helps make sentences shorter and easier to say.
Using Subject Pronouns in Sentences
Let's see how these pronouns work in sentences. It's important to remember that the pronoun you choose depends on who or what you are talking about.
Examples
- Jeg liker is. (I like ice cream.)
- Hun er snill. (She is kind.)
- Vi går til skolen. (We are going to school.)
Sometimes, you might want to talk about more than one person or thing. This is when you use the plural forms like 'Vi', 'Dere', or 'De'.
Examples
- Dere er flinke. (You all are good.)
- De spiller fotball. (They are playing football.)
Remember, 'Den' and 'Det' are used for things or animals. 'Den' is used for masculine and feminine nouns, while 'Det' is used for neuter nouns.
Examples
- Den er stor. (It is big.)
- Det er en bok. (It is a book.)
