English-Norwegian Dictionary VS Google Translate

Its very common to user google translate when you study Norsk. Many used the translate for whole sentences to understand it better.

I would recommend you NOT to use the google translate when you study Norsk words. 



The recommended way to use the dictionary. You can always carry a pocket dictionary (Called Lommeordbok : lomme  = pocket, ordbok = dictionary) . You can always carry regular dictionary also.

But if you are computer savy and would like to use online dictionary then try to use below website

Tips about Norsk Grammatikk - Adjektive

This post if for beginners.
First read about Substantive here

Adjektive\विशेषण

Adjectives are words used to describe subject.

for e.g.
A beautiful women => word 'Beautiful' is adjective
A angry dog => word 'Angry' is adjective.

In English, Adjectives mostly do not change most of the time, but in Norsk they take different forms depending on its Entall or Flertall

	Entall		Flertall
	UB	BT	UB	BT
Hankjønn(en)	nc	--e	--e	--e
Hunkjønn(ei)	nc
Intetkjønn(et)	--t

nc = No change in the adjektive.


To take an example, we can see the 'Car' example, 'A RED car'- en rød bil. 

	Entall		Flertall
	UB	BT	UB	BT
Hankjønn(en)	rød	røde	røde	røde
Hunkjønn(ei)	rød
Intetkjønn(et)	rødt

or say 'A FINE car'- en fin bil.

	Entall		Flertall
	UB	BT	UB	BT
Hankjønn(en)	fin	fine	fine	fine
Hunkjønn(ei)	fin
Intetkjønn(et)	fint

Exceptions:
There are few exceptions.
All adjectives ending with -ig/-lig/-sk would not take "-t" in intetkjønn.
Word 'liten' is very special

	Entall		Flertall
	UB	BT	UB	BT
Hankjønn(en)	Liten	Lille	små	små
Hunkjønn(ei)	Lita
Intetkjønn(et)	Lite
