In a Norwegian statement the verb sits in the SECOND slot, whatever comes first. Start with a time or a place and the subject moves behind the verb - I dag jobber jeg hjemme. This one rule shapes most Norwegian sentences.
Examples
- Jeg bor i Oslo.
- I live in Oslo.
- I dag jobber jeg hjemme.
- Today I'm working at home.
- I Bergen regner det ofte.
- In Bergen it often rains.
The mistake to avoid
"Second" means the second ELEMENT, not the second word - I dag counts as one.
Where this fits in
Greetings & introductions, Norwegian A1: Say hello, give your name, ask someone else's, and where they're from.
