"Is that your final answer?"

Translation: Er det ditt endelige svar?

[kokiri85]

Why is it endelige and not endelig? It seems like svar is singular and indefinate here?

[Luke_5.1991]

The rule-of-thumb is that all adjectives after possessive pronouns end in "e".

[Tattamin]

The problem being that there are more of those kind of rules than the average learner of Norwegian has thumbs. ;)

[kokiri85]

Ah, thanks.

[Luke_5.1991]

No worries!

[AliKhodaba]

Why not "endelige svaret ditt"?

[kelac68]

That would be 'det endelige svaret ditt'...and I guess it is better to avoid such sentences as ,er det det endelige svaret ditt?'. The fiven sentence is nicer.

[effyleven]

"..svar" = "an-SVAR." I like it when that happens.

[anamorphism]

etymology is fun!

'answer' and 'ansvar' (responsibility/blame) are assumed to come from the same proto-germanic word ;)

'swear' would be the english word with the same root as 'svar'.

although the meanings have diverged from each other a bit, it's still somewhat easy to see how all these words are related.
