"Katten tilhører jenta."

Translation: The cat belongs to the girl.

[Jonathan606349]

Nei, jenta tilhører katten.

[Anton-KM]

No cat belongs to a person :-) but they might belong with!

[aaronheiss]

I checked the discussion on this exercise specifically hoping to see this. Yay.

[Evan.S47]

In other words, if I understand correctly, in Norwegian, it's perceived to belong to something means to listen to it, or adhere. Like subordination. Interesting.

[Jnis418148]

Listening to his/hers/its orders maybe...

[MikeCrucht]

Is it correct to say: katten hører til jenta. And dies this mean the same as: katten tilhører jenta.

[grydolva]

Those are strictly interchangeable, but I prefer to use hører til in connection with a preposition and an object (rather than persons). Katten tilhører jenta. Katten hører til hos naboen. The cat belongs to the girl. The cat belongs to the neighbor.

Tilhøre = belong to (ownership)

Høre til = belong to (membership)

[KartikDurg]

Doesnt 'tilhører' mean 'listens to'?

[grydolva]

En tilhører is a listener, the "audience" of a radio show are listeners.

As a verb the base form is å tilhøre (which in certain cases you could split up and use like høre til. An item can belong in the kitchen, den hører til på kjøkkenet)

[Luke_5.1991]

It means "belongs to." Listens to would be "hører på."
