When you want to say 'this' or 'this one' in Norwegian, you use 'denne'. It's a pronoun, meaning it stands in for a noun. You'll use 'denne' when the noun it's referring to is a masculine or feminine singular word.
For example, if you're talking about a masculine word like 'en bil' (a car), you'd say 'denne bilen' (this car). If it's a feminine word like 'ei bok' (a book), it would be 'denne boka' (this book).
When you're learning Norwegian, you'll find words like 'denne' incredibly useful. It's a demonstrative pronoun, which means it points to something specific. Think of it like saying 'this one' in English. It helps you identify something close by or something you've just mentioned.
Understanding 'denne' is a good step as you move beyond the absolute basics. It shows you're starting to grasp how Norwegian singles out specific items. You'll use it all the time to refer to things directly.
When we use the word 'denne' in Norwegian, we're talking about 'this one' or 'this' for masculine and feminine singular nouns. It's really useful for pointing out something specific close to you.
Think of it like saying "this car" (denne bilen) or "this woman" (denne kvinnen). You're singling out one particular item or person.
It's important to remember that 'denne' changes form depending on the gender and number of the noun it refers to, so you'll also encounter 'dette' for neuter singular and 'disse' for plural.
Mastering 'denne' and its variations will significantly help you in describing things accurately in Norwegian.
When we use the word denne, we're talking about something specific that is close to us or has just been mentioned.
It's a pronoun, which means it can stand in for a noun. Think of it like pointing to something and saying "this one" in English.
For example, if you're looking at a few books and want to pick a particular one, you might say "Jeg vil ha denne." (I want this one.)
It's important to remember that denne is used for singular common gender nouns (en-words).
You'll hear and use denne a lot in everyday conversations in Norway.
When we use the word "denne", it means "this one" or "this". We use "denne" with common gender nouns, also known as masculine or feminine nouns. For example, you would say "denne boka" (this book) if "bok" is feminine, or "denne mannen" (this man) if "mann" is masculine.
It helps to think about the gender of the noun you're referring to. If the noun is a 'common' gender noun (which includes both masculine and feminine nouns in modern Norwegian), then "denne" is the correct choice. If it were a neuter noun, you'd use "dette".
So, a good rule of thumb is: if the noun takes 'en' or 'ei' as its indefinite article, you'll likely use "denne". Practice identifying the gender of nouns, and choosing between "denne" and "dette" will become second nature. It's a foundational concept for building more complex sentences.
Let's talk about the Norwegian word denne. It's a common word, and you'll hear it a lot. Knowing how to use it correctly will help you sound more natural when speaking Norwegian.
§ What 'Denne' Means
DEFINITION
'Denne' means 'this one' in English. It's a demonstrative pronoun, which means it points to something specific.
Think of it like pointing at an object and saying, "this one." In Norwegian, you use denne when you are talking about a singular common gender (masculine or feminine) noun that is close to you or the speaker.
§ When to Use 'Denne'
You use denne when you want to refer to a specific item that is:
Singular: It's about one thing, not multiple things.
Common Gender: This is important in Norwegian. Common gender nouns (words that take 'en' or 'ei' as their indefinite article) use 'denne'.
Close to you: It implies proximity. The item is physically near or is the immediate topic of conversation.
Let's look at some examples to make this clearer.
§ Examples of 'Denne' in Use
Kan jeg få denne kaffen, vær så snill? (Can I have this one coffee, please?)
Here, 'kaffe' (coffee) is a common gender noun. You're pointing to a specific cup of coffee.
Jeg liker denne boken best. (I like this one book the best.)
'Bok' (book) is also a common gender noun. You are indicating your preference for a particular book that is likely in front of you or being discussed.
Hvem eier denne paraplyen? (Who owns this one umbrella?)
'Paraply' (umbrella) is common gender. You've found an umbrella and are asking about it.
§ Important distinctions
You might also encounter 'dette' and 'disse'. We'll cover those in other lessons, but for now, focus on 'denne' for singular common gender nouns.
Keep practicing with 'denne' and you'll get the hang of it quickly. It's a foundational word for expressing specificity in Norwegian, much like 'this one' in English. Pay attention to the nouns you use it with to ensure they are singular and common gender. This will improve your accuracy and fluency.
§ The Basics of 'Denne'
'Denne' is a very common word in Norwegian. It means 'this one' or 'this'. You'll use it all the time to point out specific things or people. Think of it as directly translating to 'this' in English when you're referring to a singular, common gender noun.

§ How to use it in a sentence – grammar, prepositions
The key to using 'denne' correctly is understanding Norwegian gender. Unlike English, Norwegian nouns have gender (masculine, feminine, neuter). 'Denne' is specifically for common gender (masculine and feminine) singular nouns. You use it when you want to say 'this book' or 'this car', assuming 'book' and 'car' are common gender.
Here’s a quick overview of how 'denne' changes based on the noun it refers to:
Denne: Common gender singular (masculine/feminine)
Dette: Neuter gender singular
Disse: Plural (for all genders)
Today, we are focusing on 'denne'.
§ Using 'Denne' with Common Gender Nouns
When you're talking about a specific item that is common gender and singular, 'denne' is your word. Remember, many Norwegian nouns that are masculine or feminine in dictionaries can often be treated as common gender in daily speech, especially in Bokmål. Look up the noun's gender if you're unsure.
Kan jeg få denne boken?
Hint
Can I have this book? (boken = the book, common gender)
Denne jakken er for stor.
Hint
This jacket is too big. (jakken = the jacket, common gender)
Hvem er denne mannen?
Hint
Who is this man? (mannen = the man, common gender)
§ 'Denne' as a Standalone Pronoun
You can also use 'denne' by itself, similar to how you would say 'this one' in English, when the context makes it clear what you're referring to.
Jeg liker ikke den. Jeg vil ha denne.
Hint
I don't like that one. I want this one.
Er denne din?
Hint
Is this one yours?
§ Prepositions with 'Denne'
'Denne' works with prepositions just like other pronouns or nouns. The preposition comes before 'denne'.
Hva er i denne vesken?
Hint
What is in this bag? (vesken = the bag, common gender)
Vi snakket om denne saken.
Hint
We talked about this matter. (saken = the matter, common gender)
§ Important distinctions: 'Denne' vs. 'Den'
It's easy to confuse 'denne' with 'den'. Here's the simple difference:
Denne: means 'this' or 'this one' – it points out something specific that is close to you or being discussed. It implies a sense of proximity or immediate relevance.
Den: means 'it' or 'that' – it refers to a common gender noun already mentioned or generally known, often implying something further away or less immediate.
Denne kaffen er varm. (This coffee is warm – the coffee right here)
Kaffen er varm. Den er god. (The coffee is warm. It is good – referring back to the coffee)
§ Summary for 'Denne'
Mastering 'denne' is crucial for clear communication in Norwegian. Always remember its connection to common gender singular nouns. Practice using it in sentences until it feels natural. You'll hear and use this word countless times, so getting it right early will save you a lot of trouble later.
§ What 'denne' means
Definition
This one
The Norwegian word 'denne' is a demonstrative pronoun. It means 'this one' in English. You use it to point out a specific thing or person that is close to you. Think of it like saying 'this' when you're holding something or indicating something right next to you.
Hva er denne? (What is this one?)
Jeg vil ha denne. (I want this one.)
§ 'Denne' in conversations at work
At work, you'll often use 'denne' when referring to documents, tools, or specific tasks. It helps you be precise without having to repeat the full noun every time.
Referring to a document:
Kan du se på denne rapporten? (Can you look at this report?)
Jeg har jobbet med denne hele morgenen. (I have been working on this one all morning.)
Pointing out an object:
Er denne pennen din? (Is this pen yours?)
Jeg trenger denne skrutrekkeren. (I need this screwdriver.)
Referring to a task or project:
Hvordan går det med denne oppgaven? (How is this task going?)
Vi må fullføre denne før lunsj. (We have to finish this one before lunch.)
§ 'Denne' in school and learning
In a school setting, 'denne' is very common when discussing textbooks, exercises, or specific chapters. It helps to clarify what you're talking about.
Referring to a book or chapter:
Les denne siden til i morgen. (Read this page for tomorrow.)
Jeg forstår ikke denne oppgaven. (I don't understand this exercise.)
Discussing an idea or concept:
Hva synes du om denne teorien? (What do you think about this theory?)
Læreren forklarte denne regelen i går. (The teacher explained this rule yesterday.)
§ 'Denne' in the news and media
When reading or listening to Norwegian news, 'denne' is frequently used to refer to current events, specific statements, or ongoing situations. It helps to connect sentences and ideas smoothly.
Referring to a current event or situation:
Eksperter diskuterer denne saken. (Experts are discussing this case.)
Regjeringen har presentert denne nye loven. (The government has presented this new law.)
Referring to a statement or quote:
Hva betyr denne uttalelsen? (What does this statement mean?)
Journalisten stilte spørsmål om denne informasjonen. (The journalist asked questions about this information.)
§ Summary of 'denne'
As you can see, 'denne' is a fundamental word in Norwegian. It's used across many contexts to point out masculine and feminine singular items or concepts nearby. Pay attention to how native speakers use it in their daily conversations, and you'll quickly get the hang of it. Practice using it yourself, and it will become second nature.
§ Understanding "denne" and its forms
When you're learning Norwegian, words like "denne" (this one) can sometimes be tricky because they change based on the noun they refer to. In English, we just say "this" or "this one" regardless of what we're talking about. In Norwegian, however, we have to consider the gender and number of the noun.
"Denne" is used for masculine and feminine singular nouns. For neuter singular nouns, you'll use "dette," and for plural nouns (regardless of gender), you'll use "disse." It's a common stumbling block for English speakers, but with a bit of practice, it becomes second nature.
Norwegian Word
denne
Definition
this one (for masculine/feminine singular nouns)
§ Mistake 1: Using "denne" for neuter nouns
One of the most frequent errors is using "denne" when the noun is neuter. Remember that Norwegian has three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. While masculine and feminine often behave similarly, neuter nouns have their own specific forms for many words, including demonstrative pronouns like "this."
Incorrect: Jeg vil ha denne huset. (I want this house.)
Correct: Jeg vil ha dette huset. (I want this house.)
§ Mistake 2: Using "denne" for plural nouns
Another common error is to use "denne" when referring to multiple items. Just like with neuter nouns, plural nouns have their own form of "this." You need to use "disse" when the noun is plural, regardless of its gender in the singular form.
Incorrect: Jeg liker denne bøkene. (I like these books.)
Correct: Jeg liker disse bøkene. (I like these books.)
§ Mistake 3: Confusing "denne" with definite articles
Sometimes learners confuse "denne" with the definite article suffixes. In Norwegian, the definite article is attached to the end of the noun (e.g., "en bil" becomes "bilen"). "Denne" is used *before* a noun to specifically point it out, similar to how "this" functions in English.
When you use "denne," "dette," or "disse" with a noun, the noun itself will usually be in the *definite form*. This is an important rule to remember and is often overlooked.
"Denne bilen" (This car)
"Dette huset" (This house)
"Disse bøkene" (These books)
Incorrect: Jeg vil kjøpe denne bil. (I want to buy this car.)
Correct: Jeg vil kjøpe denne bilen. (I want to buy this car.)
§ Summary of "denne" forms
To avoid these common mistakes, always consider the noun's gender and number. Here's a quick recap:
Denne: For masculine and feminine singular nouns (e.g., denne boken - this book, denne jenta - this girl)
Dette: For neuter singular nouns (e.g., dette huset - this house, dette eplet - this apple)
Disse: For all plural nouns (e.g., disse bøkene - these books, disse husene - these houses)
Practicing with examples and paying attention to the noun's form will help you master "denne" and its variations. Don't get discouraged if you make mistakes; it's part of the learning process! Just keep these rules in mind, and you'll improve quickly.
§ Understanding 'Denne'
When you're speaking Norwegian, you'll often need to point out specific things. 'Denne' is one of your key words for doing exactly that. It means 'this one' or 'this' in English. It's a demonstrative pronoun and adjective, which just means it helps you demonstrate or point to something. Think of it as directly picking something out of a group.
Usage
'Denne' is used for masculine and feminine singular nouns. This is a crucial point, and it's where many learners get tripped up. Norwegian nouns have genders, and the demonstrative pronoun/adjective needs to agree with that gender. If you're talking about a masculine or feminine singular item, 'denne' is your word.
Denne bilen er rask. (This car is fast.)
Denne jenta er smart. (This girl is smart.)
§ Alternatives to 'Denne'
Norwegian has other words for 'this' or 'these', and knowing when to use each one is key to sounding natural. The choice depends entirely on the gender and number of the noun you're referring to.
Dette: This is for neuter singular nouns. Just like 'denne' for masculine/feminine, 'dette' takes care of the neuter.
Dette huset er stort. (This house is big.)
Disse: This is your go-to for plural nouns, regardless of their gender. If you're talking about more than one item, 'disse' is the one you need.
Disse bøkene er interessante. (These books are interesting.)
Disse eplene er gode. (These apples are good.)
§ When to use 'denne' vs. 'den'
This is another common point of confusion. 'Den' can also mean 'this' or 'that', but there's a subtle yet important difference. 'Denne' is more emphatic and specific, directly pointing out something that is usually close to you, either physically or in the conversation. 'Den' is more general.
Denne: Use 'denne' when you want to highlight a specific item, especially if it's right in front of you or you're making a direct choice. It's like saying "*this very one*".
Jeg vil ha denne kaffen, takk. (I want this coffee, please. - *You're pointing at a specific cup.*)
Den: Use 'den' when you're referring to something in a more general sense, or if it's already been mentioned and you're not emphasizing it. It can mean 'it', 'that', or 'the one'.
Kaffen er god. Den er varm. (The coffee is good. It is hot.)
§ Practical Application
The best way to master 'denne', 'dette', and 'disse' is to practice them in real-life situations. When you're shopping, point to things and say the correct word. When you're describing something, make sure you're using the right form based on gender and number.
Key Takeaways
'Denne' is for masculine and feminine singular nouns.
'Dette' is for neuter singular nouns.
'Disse' is for all plural nouns.
'Denne' is more specific and emphatic than 'den'.
Paying attention to these details will significantly improve your Norwegian and help you communicate more accurately and naturally. Keep practicing, and it will become second nature.

كيفية الاستخدام
Denne is a demonstrative pronoun in Norwegian, equivalent to 'this one' or 'this' in English. It's used when referring to a singular common gender noun (en-word). For example, if you're talking about 'en bil' (a car), you would say 'denne bilen' (this car). It agrees in gender and number with the noun it refers to. Remember that Norwegian has three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter. 'Denne' is for common gender (masculine/feminine) nouns. You'll use 'dette' for neuter nouns and 'disse' for plural nouns.
أخطاء شائعة
A common mistake is using 'denne' for neuter nouns (et-words). For instance, saying 'denne huset' (this house) instead of the correct 'dette huset'. Another mistake is using 'denne' for plural nouns. For example, 'denne bøkene' (these books) instead of 'disse bøkene'. Always make sure the demonstrative pronoun matches the gender and number of the noun.
نصائح
Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter Nouns
In Norwegian, 'denne' is used for masculine and feminine singular nouns. For neuter singular nouns, you'd use 'dette'.
Plural Nouns
When referring to plural nouns, regardless of their gender, you'll use 'disse'. So, 'denne' is only for singular masculine/feminine nouns.
Demonstrative Pronoun
'Denne' functions as a demonstrative pronoun, pointing out a specific item or person that is close by. Think of it like saying 'this' in English.
Common Usage
You'll hear 'denne' frequently in everyday conversation. For example, 'Denne boken er interessant.' (This book is interesting.)
Pointing Out Objects
Imagine you're in a shop and want to point out a specific item. You'd say, 'Jeg vil ha denne.' (I want this one.)
Singular Focus
Remember, 'denne' is strictly for singular items. If there's more than one, switch to 'disse'.
Pronunciation Practice
Practice saying 'denne' aloud. The 'e' at the end is often pronounced like the 'a' in 'sofa' in English, but shorter. The 'nn' is a double 'n' sound, making it slightly longer.
Compare with 'det'
Don't confuse 'denne' with 'det'. 'Det' is a more general 'it' or 'that', whereas 'denne' is specifically 'this one' and often implies proximity.
Avoid Direct Translation
While 'denne' often translates to 'this one', be careful not to always directly translate. The gender rules in Norwegian are important and don't have a direct English equivalent.

It's a demonstrative pronoun.
💡
Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter Nouns
In Norwegian, 'denne' is used for masculine and feminine singular nouns. For neuter singular nouns, you'd use 'dette'.
💡
Plural Nouns
When referring to plural nouns, regardless of their gender, you'll use 'disse'. So, 'denne' is only for singular masculine/feminine nouns.

💡
Context is Key
Always pay attention to the gender of the noun you're referring to. Using 'denne' with a neuter noun would be grammatically incorrect.
