En, Ei, or Et? Study Guide

Overview

Norwegian Noun Gender

This guide teaches nouns together with their article: en, ei, or et.

What to focus on

  • Learn the article as part of the noun, not as an afterthought.
  • Meaning alone does not reliably predict the gender.
  • Many feminine nouns can also use en in common Bokmål, but this game practices the explicit en/ei/et distinction.

Examples

en bil
ei bok
et hus
