"The girl likes some vegetables."

Translation: Jenta liker noen grønnsaker.

[DhanuRadha5]

I just love the word grønnsaker

[cowza]

Why isn't it "noe"?

[RoyaleWith3]

As I remember noe means "something"

[Deliciae]

It can indeed mean "something", but does also mean "some" when relating to an uncountable noun.

So you get "noen grønnsaker", but "noe melk".

[174.8QFGeJ9zLiRQ]

Quick, uneducated guess by me, but does ø stand for oe?
If so, why isn't it nøn. Takk!

[Noway_Norway]

"oe" is the acceptable way of writing ø when you are without the right keyboard. the same goes for å-->aa and æ-->ae.

It is also used internationally (on tv for example)

[Luke_5.1991]

"Noen" is not pronounced like "nøn," in fact.

[askrahn]

Listening to the audio, noen is pronounced as two syllables "no-ehn", whereas nøn is noohn (no idea how to anglicize that...). I don't believe it's the same as oe vs ö in German.

[Isla_Harlow]

Can someone remind me of the difference between "noen" and "noe?"

[Deliciae]

noen = some, any (for countable nouns); someone
noe = some, any (for uncountable nouns); something

[Ale341066]

Why is Jenten and not just jente? I'm confused...

[Amin663889]

Jenten = jenta = the girl
Jente = girl
Ei jente = en jente = a girl

[GreenPeach03]

I'm also confused.. but my question is why is it Jenten and not Jenta?

[KathleenAn838596]

I gave the proper answer and you marked it wrong.
