Adjektiv-maskin
[The Adjective Machine]The Adjective Machine is a step-by-step visual decision wizard designed to help you determine the exact correct form of any Norwegian adjective.
1. How Does the Adjective Machine Work?
When agreeing an adjective with a noun in Norwegian, answer 3 simple questions in this exact order:
Step 1: Is the noun singular or plural?
If the noun is plural, gender does not matter! The adjective always takes the -e ending.
Step 2: If singular — what is the noun's gender?
If neuter (et), add -t (et brunt bord). If masculine (en) or feminine (ei), keep base form.
Step 3: Is the noun indefinite or definite?
If definite, you need a definite article (den/det/de) and the adjective takes the -e ending.
