"The girl is eating bread."

Translation: Jenta spiser brød.

[uloprost]

When would "jente" be used instead of "jenta"?

[fveldig]

a girl - the girl - girls - the girls

en jente - jenta - jenter - jentene

Very nice

Why is it en jente not ei jente? Feel like I've seen the sentence "Barnet er ei jente"?

[KarenM90]

Because of that same sentence, I assumed it was jenteet lol

[Quephyn]

It told me it is suppose to be pika spiser brod.

[Deliciae]

"Pika" is also correct and accepted, but I would stick to "jenta" or "jenten" which are the more common options.

I wrote "Jenta spiser brød" and it was wrong, why?

[rebecca325190]

probaly an error. when that happens you should flag it

[JMarando]

Why is "Jenta er spiser brød" incorrect?

[Deliciae]

There's no present continuous tense in Norwegian, so you cannot use "er" as an auxiliary verb like that.

Both "The girl eats bread" and "The girl is eating bread" translates to "Jenta spiser brød", which is the one and only present tense in Norwegian.
