Basic Grammar #14 - Subclauses! "fordi de alltid smiler"

from Practice Norwegian Hosted by Norwegian Language Lessons

In Norwegian language there is a slight change in word order every time you have a subclause with an adverb. Ex: Det er ikke regn. (Normal sentence) Hun sykler fordi det ikke er regn. (Subclause with "fordi") The rule is this: 1. subjunksjon (hvis, at, fordi.. osv.) 2. subjekt (person/ting) 3. adverb (ikke, ofte, sjelden, aldri etc.) 4. verb Fill-ins: Marco sier ............................... (han - sykler - aldri - at). Britt drar på ferie ............................... (hun - er - syk - ikke - hvis). Butikken stenger ............................... (det - er - kunder - ikke - fordi). .. Great work! :))
