While studying the use of Sitter/Setter, Ligger/Legge things can be little confusing.
Here is some explanation which will help you to understand it better.
If you have any question, ask in comments.
PART 2:
For buildings and countries we always use LIGGER.
Whenever anything is in bag i.e. Veska eller Posen, use verb Å LEGGE.
When action is performed By/On the person, use appropriate reflexive form (i.e. seg, deg ,meg etc). You can find more information about reflexive form here.
Lets learn use of PART 1 and PART 2 first.

Here is some explanation which will help you to understand it better.
If you have any question, ask in comments.
We can divide it into FOUR Parts.
PART 1 :
When object is moved from one position to other, i.e. if there is a MOTION of object or person, we use SETTE/LEGGE.
When there is NO MOTION involved, we use SITTE/LIGGE.
When there is NO MOTION involved, we use SITTE/LIGGE.
PART 2:
Whenever the object placement is VERTICAL then use verb Å SETTE & Å SITTE. (exceptions: for some we use word STÅR, explanations is given below in examples.)
Whenever the object placement is HORIZONTAL then use Å LEGGE & Å LIGGE.
PART 3:
PART 4:PART 3:
Depending on the persent-past-future tense of the statement, use appropriate form of verb
INFINITIVE | PRESENS | PRETERITUM | PERFEKTUM |
---|---|---|---|
å ligge | ligger | lå | har ligget |
å legge | legger | la | har lagt |
å sitte | sitter | satt | har sittet |
å sette | setter | satte | har satt |

Some examples consisting PART 1/2/3/4 are as below.
Example | Explanation |
---|---|
Jeg sitter og leset . | Action: No. Since its not a action and we always sit on some furniture and read, we have used SITTER. |
Nå sitter vi på torget til Oslo. | Action: No. There is no action involved or movement of object from one position to other hence we used SITTER. |
Spania ligger i Europa. | Since its a land, we use LIGGER. |
Banken ligger på torget. | Its a bank and bank is kind of a building hence we used LIGGER. |
Skolen ligger i Oslo. | Its a skole and the skole building is in Oslo hence we used LIGGER. |
Han legger babyen i sengen. | Action: Yes. Since he moved baby from one position (may be from floor) to another position (to bed)
Position : and baby going in bed is HORIZONTAL hence we used LEGGER. |
Babyen ligger i sengen. | Action : No. Position : Horizontal. hence use LIGGER |
Amina satte flaska på bordet i går. | Action: Yes. Position: Vertical Tense: the statement used work 'i går' hence its a past tense so we use SATTE which is Preteritum of å sette. |
Du må sette melken i kjøleskapet. | Action: Yes. Position: Vertical Tense: use of hjelpe verb 'må' hence we use infinitive of å sette i.e. SETTE |
Jeg la pengene i lomma mi for litt siden, men nå er de borte. | Action: Yes. As the the money is moved from hand to pocket. Position: money is always kept horizontally. Tense : It was past tense and action was done on specific time hence we use preteritum of å legge which is LA |
Amina lå i senga si og sov i hele går. Hun var syk. | Action: No. As Amina was whole time in bed yesterday.
Tense: Its i går hence we use preteritum of å ligge that is LÅ |
I går satt vi og diskuterte politikk i mange timer. | Action: No. As we already sat to discuss. Tense: Since its a specific time of the day we discussed and the action is over (not continued til this moment) hence we used preteritum of å sitte that is SATT |
Lise satte bilen i garasjen for to timer siden. | Action: Yes. Car is moved from one position to another by Lise at that specific time hence we use preteritum of å sette i.e. SATTE |
