    So which one is more natural? "Det står i avisen" or "Det er i avisen"?

      with things that are written, it's usually "står" i believe

        Could you use 'det er' instead of 'det star' here? Or is there a specific reason when you use one or the other?

        [staar* not star]

        For some reason you can't use 'er'. Text usually 'står'.

          Thought står meant standing?

                It does, but it can't always be translated literally.
