ᴛʜɪɴɢs ᴛᴏ ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ɪɴ ᴍɪɴᴅ:

- This is by no means a complete guide to all the prepositions you’ll ever encounter in the Norwegian language, but merely a collection of the most common ones and how they’re usually used/commonly translated. If you have questions about any prepositions beyond the ones on this list, feel free to ask and I’ll try to cover it in a separate post! 

- Some of these words aren’t only prepositions, but have other functions as well (conjunctions, adverbs, etc.), or are a part of a fixed expression, which I won’t go into in this post– so if you feel like you’ve seen some of these words before with completely different meanings/usage/translations, that might be why! 

- There are, as always (unfortunately), exceptions, so take the translations with a grain of salt– and feel free to send me an ask if you ever stumble upon one of said exceptions and would like a short explanation to go with it c:

Irregular nouns in Norwegian

As you my know, regular nouns in Norwegian are conjugated following a pattern (indefinite singular - definite singular - indefinite plural - definite plural), based on their grammatical gender, like this: en hund- hunden - hunder - hundene (dog) ei jente - jenta - jenter - jentene (girl) et menneske - mennesket - mennesker - menneskene (human)

There are, of course, exceptions. The conjugation patterns of irregular nouns can generally be grouped into four:

1. Nouns that have a change in vowels in the plural:

en/ei and - anden/anda - ender - endene (duck) en/ei bok - boken/boka - bøker - bøkene (book) en bonde - bonden - bønder - bøndene (farmer) en/ei bot - boten/bota - bøter - bøtene (fine) en/ei datter - datteren/dattera - døtre/døtrer - døtrene (daughter) en far/fader - faren/faderen - fedre - fedrene (father) en/ei ku - kuen/kua - kuer/kyr - kuene/kyrne (cow) et tre - treet - trær - trærne (tree) en/ei tå - tåen/tåa - tær - tærne (toe)

2. Nouns that have no ending in the indefinite plural: 

en feil - feilen - feil - feilene/feila (mistake/fault) et hus - huset - hus - husene/husa (house) et kjøkken - kjøkkenet - kjøkken - kjøkkenene (kitchen) en/ei mus - musen/musa - mus - musene (mouse) en sko - skoen - sko - skoene (shoe) en ting - tingen - ting - tingene/tinga (thing)

3. Nouns ending with [vowel + m] in indefinite singular are usually irregular and often behave in the same pattern: an extra m is added, before the regular noun endings:

en drøm - drømmen - drømmer - drømmene (dream) en klem - klemmen - klemmer - klemmene (hug) en sykdom - sykdommen - sykdommer - sykdommene (illness) en søm - sømmen - sømmer - sømmene (seam)

4. Nouns with contractions in the plural:

Some nouns ending in [-el/-er] The last e in the indefinite singular [-el/-er] is removed and the regular noun endings are added:

en engel - engelen - engler - englene (angel) en mangel - mangelen - mangler - manglene (lack) en regel - regelen - regler - reglene (rule) en sjanger - sjangeren - sjangre - sjangrene (genre) en forelder - forelderen - foreldre - foreldrene (parent)

Nouns ending in [double consonant + -el] One consonant from the double consonant cluster, and the e following it, are removed. The regular noun endings are then added. 

en artikkel - artikkelen - artikler - artiklene (article) en sykkel - sykkelen - sykler - syklene (bicycle) en gaffel - gaffelen - gafler - gaflene (fork) en tittel - tittelen - titler - titlene (title) en tommel - tommelen - tomler - tomlene (thumb)

The list of nouns given here is not exhaustive and there are of course more exceptions. If there are any mistakes, please don’t hesitate to tell me. Feel free to ask me questions if anything remains unclear! <3
