This grammar "cheat sheet" is a work in progress. Its main goal is to centralize the basics of
Norwegian grammar for students on Duolingo.

SUBJECT PRONOUNS

"De" is pronounced like "dee".

All formality in second-person pronouns has fallen into near total disuse.
You may hear some spoken dialects use different words than the ones above, but the differences
are generally small and are not reflected in written Bokmål.

OBJECT PRONOUNS

The word "han" is an alternative form of "ham" that is considered equally correct.

NOUNS

Remember that the use the feminine gender is dependent on dialect and personal style. All
feminine nouns can be written or spoken as if they were masculine nouns, meaning both "ei dør"
and "en dør" are considered correct.
Certain neuter nouns mostly take an "-a" ending in the definite plural, such as "barna" and "beina".
This ending can apply to all definite plural neuter nouns, but tends to be reserved to a few words
such as these.

ADJECTIVES

also mean "those" in addition to "the".
