Start here: build sentences (word order + core patterns)

Learn the default word order and memorize a handful of high‑frequency sentence patterns.

Default word order

Norwegian (Bokmål) is verb-second (V2) in main clauses. Like Swedish/Danish, it uses definite suffixes on nouns.

  • Start with short sentences and keep the pattern consistent.
  • Copy a native pattern, then swap one word at a time.

Core sentences to memorize

These are extremely reusable. Read them aloud, then change one word (water → coffee, bathroom → station…).

Jeg er her.
I am here.
Jeg vil ha vann.
I want water.
Jeg forstår ikke.
I don't understand.
Snakker du engelsk?
Do you speak English?
Hvor er toalettet?
Where is the toilet?
Dette er vennen min.
This is my friend.
