"Hva har hun?"

Translation: What does she have?

[mak807288]

Can hun also mean "her"?

[wolfofaredsun]

That would be 'henne'.

[Silvi926694]

Hun = She
Han = He

[GRZYBuuR]

I typed in "What is she" and got it wrong. Is there any reason that it should be "What's she" instead?

[fveldig]

'har' = 'have/has'

'what's' can mean both 'what is' and 'what has'.

[GRZYBuuR]

oh awesome! thanks :)

[langjd]

"har" sounds more like a "hoi". Is that intentional?

[Deliciae]

No, the audio for this sentence is poor.

[DavidMiles7]

i typed
what has she got and it was correct
why?

[langjd]

Edit: My previous comment was factually wrong; I misread your comment and tried to explain why the sentence is actually ungrammatical. It's correct, though (as you said), and here's an explanation:

Pronunciation?

[GeminiFireRat]

Typed "what have she" and was counted wrong. No other choice, because mobile has a list of words for you to use already.

[KyrreOlauson]

"What is she?" Was wrong... correct answer was "What's she?" Awkward...

[LilaLockhart]

Me tooo.

[LoveMam1]

Hva har hun
What has she but now it is okay

[hollysue91]

What has she?

[aalvarogmzz]

Porque no es he en vez ee she

[Dean908580]

Is the h in "har" silent?

[Nikola101979]

Why not '' What does she has'' ??

[wolfofaredsun]

Because has and have are not variants of the same word.
She HAD a good time / She will HAVE a good time.
She HAS had a good time

[Jeff49225]

3 words to say 4 in English

[Pluvio_Roo]

Why does 'have' not have it's own word?

[yasmine_y]

? It does. It's "har".

[ankit-is-here]

What does she has?

[AmineBkhm]

So, har= does+have ???

[yasmine_y]

"Har" is the verb "to have" for every person in present tenses.

[Aston_Vill]

Guys I am so confused like there are 3 words in Norwegian and yet you had to choose 4

[Aston_Vill]

This is slightly strange

[Sanju253938]

The has option wasn't there, so my answer was marked wrong.

[Dean469611]

Would 'hva gjør hun har' work instead? It translates better into English and the ver is still second (gjør)

[EdThePro]

Is it common to not hear the "h" in "har"? I'm hearing something like "Var hun?"

[wolfofaredsun]

It tends to get rolled together when there are two similar sounds together, in order for it to flow together.
It's "hva har hun" and 'hva' & 'har' both sound phonetically close enough to roll together into more like "hva-'ar hun".
It's similar with other sounds like "en kvinne er..." where the end of 'kvinne' rolls into 'er'

[PriyankaSa835715]

what is "har" and when to use ?

[yasmine_y]

"Har" is the verb "to have" for every person in present tenses.

[a.linta]

When it's spoken fast it's so hard for me to tell the difference between hva/har, and er/og. I was sure I heard 'hva er hun' here. I'm going to do so poorly in Norway

[juraj385267]

What does she have

[cerichisholm]

in the fast version the speaker does not say 'har', it sounds like 'hva hun'!

[wolfofaredsun]

They do say it, but it is rolled together with the 'hva' rather than creating a 'hiccup' sound. Think of it as rolling 'hva' and 'har' together out of laziness/ usage.

[cerichisholm]

Thanks for that. I do think that since this example is in the basic level of the language and intended for complete beginners that the words should be enunciated more clearly.

[iulia622918]

One can hear :"hva har hunden?" the audio voice is really bad...

[Sseb11]

He says hunden

[Enail7]

I dont know, what does she have?

[AnthonyBear]

Anyone else think the male voice sounds like its saying hunden when it's speaking slow? Almost as if the n has two sylables.

[faf925749]

او چه چیزی دارد؟

[faf925749]

او چه چیزی دارد؟

[justine79647]

Why would it be wrong to say "what have she?"

I know this doesnt make sense in English but how am I meant to know the following:
1) that "does" is in this sentence when jts not in the word
2) when is hun at the end of the sentencd in Norwegian but in English its not?

Thanks

[yasmine_y]

I don't understand the question: to put it shortly... are you confused about how the interrogative sentence is formed in Norwegian?

[Maweran]

I typer "Hva er hun" instead of "Hva har hun" and Duo blocked my answer saying I was typing in english instead of norwegian !!

[JonnyNut279750]

"She has what?" should be acceptable.

[yasmine_y]

Completely different meaning.

[SenenQQ]

"What is she having" should be correct, shouldn't it? I mean, I believe "å ha" works also for drinks and food like in English, byt does it?

[asim121]

What does she has?

[mahrokh253123]

I write correct
