"How many stops are there?"

Translation: Hvor mange holdeplasser er det?

[279.S/pI6kvRLb93]

Why is it "stopp" and not "stopper"? It wasnt even on the list of words.

[Ingebj]

You say "et stopp", "flere stopp" in Norwegian. Normal conjugation for a short neuter noun.

[fveldig]

'stopp' is another word for 'holdeplass' (noun)

'stopper' = 'stop(s)' (verb)

[lunar688]

Stopper is suggested in the hints. Stopp is not. If stopper is wrong can we have a change to the hinted words please? :)

[mango1616]

why is it det and not der?

[Candidandelion]

Because 'der' refers to a place, eg: the cat is there (in that place) = katten er der.

'Det' means 'there' as in something that exists, eg: there is (a thing that exists) = det er en kat.

But in English those words are the same. So, for example, you could have the following exchange:

"We're going into town for a drink."

"How many pubs are there there?" (ie, how many pubs exist in that place)

[ramaskrik]

How do you say placeholder then?

[Giorgio182480]

Plassholder!

[PDrXJxtT]

indeed with reference to the previous question: how does one ask "how many stops is it [to the post office etc.]"?

[mark1316]

Is "holdeplass" to be intended only as a physical place where the bus stops, or can it broadly used as the "stops" of the bus?

[Darlene505476]

why is is 'hvor' instead of 'hvordan'?

[Candidandelion]

Hvordan is used for 'how' as a standalone word.

Hvor is used when 'how' is combined with (for example) much, many, far, often, etc.
