In Norwegian, how is the definite form of a noun mostly made, for example 'bok' (book) becomes 'boka' or 'boken'?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. By adding an ending to the end of the noun
- Step 1: Norwegian differs from English in this. Step 2. The definite article is attached as a suffix, as in bok - boka or hus - huset. Answer: an ending is added. Why not the others: English uses a separate word, while the other ways do not exist.
