Question Word Order Study Guide

Overview

Norwegian Question Word Order

This guide teaches how Norwegian questions are built with verb placement and question words.

What to focus on

  • Yes/no questions normally start with the verb.
  • Question-word questions still keep the verb early.
  • Time and place phrases should not push the verb too far back.

Examples

Bor du her?
Hvor bor du?
Når kommer du?
