"Læreren kjenner boken."

Translation: The teacher knows the book.

[MauriceReeves]

Is the difference between å kjenne and å vite the same as kennen and wissen in German?

Edit - changed the verb. Got mixed up. Sorry! :-D

[fveldig]

å vente - to wait

I'm guessing you meant 'å vite', and while I'm no German linguist, they would probably be close I guess.

[MauriceReeves]

Yeah, sorry. That is what I meant. Perils of learning. :-D Thanks!

[turidbrox]

Same as conocer and saber in Spanish, if I'm not entirely mistaken.

[Erin396857]

Å vite = to know
Å kjenne = be familiar with

They are used interchangeably but do have different meanings.

[Lisa703217]

What is the difference between using kjenner and vite?

[Erin396857]

Å vite = to know
Å kjenne = to be familiar with, to recognize

[FLchick]

Probably has to do with inanimate and people.
