When you're at the B1 level in Norwegian, you're moving beyond basic survival phrases and starting to have more fluid conversations. You can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc.
You can deal with most situations likely to arise whilst travelling in an area where the language is spoken. You can produce simple connected text on topics that are familiar or of personal interest. You can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes, and ambitions, and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.
When you're at the B2 level in Norwegian, it's important to understand the nuances of verbs like "fortsette." While it primarily means "to continue," pay attention to its usage with different prepositions. You'll often see it with "med" (with) when continuing an activity, like "fortsette med arbeidet" (to continue with the work). It can also be used more broadly without a preposition to mean that something simply keeps going, such as "regnet fortsetter" (the rain continues).
When you want to express the idea of carrying on with something in Norwegian, you'll often use the verb «fortsette». It's a versatile verb that applies to both actions and states.
You can use it for something as simple as continuing a conversation or as significant as continuing a journey or a project. Think of it as a direct equivalent to the English 'to continue' or 'to carry on'.
§ What does fortsette mean?
The Norwegian verb fortsette means 'to continue' or 'to proceed'. It's a very common verb you'll hear and use often. Think about how many times you say 'continue' in English – it's just as frequent in Norwegian.
- DEFINITION
- To continue; to proceed; to go on.
You use fortsette in situations where something is ongoing or resumes after a break. It can refer to actions, processes, or even states.
§ Basic Usage Examples
Let's look at some basic examples to get a feel for how fortsette is used in sentences.
Vi må fortsette å jobbe.
- Translation hint: We must continue to work.
Han bestemte seg for å fortsette studiene.
- Translation hint: He decided to continue his studies.
Regnet vil fortsette hele dagen.
- Translation hint: The rain will continue all day.
§ Common Phrases with fortsette
Like in English, fortsette often appears in specific phrases. Learning these will make your Norwegian sound more natural.
- fortsette med noe: to continue with something
- fortsette å gjøre noe: to continue doing something
- fortsette på veien: to continue on the way/road
Kan du fortsette med arbeidet?
- Translation hint: Can you continue with the work?
Vi må fortsette å lære.
- Translation hint: We must continue to learn.
§ When to use fortsette versus other words
While fortsette is often the best choice for 'to continue', Norwegian has other words that might seem similar but are used in slightly different contexts. For example, 'å vare' means 'to last', which is about duration, not ongoing action.
Møtet vil vare i to timer.
- Translation hint: The meeting will last for two hours. (Here, you wouldn't use fortsette.)
Stick to fortsette when you mean an action or state is literally carrying on or resuming.
§ Conjugation of fortsette
Like all Norwegian verbs, fortsette changes form depending on the tense. It's an irregular verb, so you'll need to memorize its forms.
- Infinitive: fortsette (to continue)
- Present tense: fortsetter (continues)
- Past tense: fortsatte (continued)
- Present perfect: har fortsatt (have continued)
Han fortsetter å snakke.
- Translation hint: He continues to talk. (Present tense)
De fortsatte reisen.
- Translation hint: They continued the journey. (Past tense)
Jeg har fortsatt å studere norsk.
- Translation hint: I have continued to study Norwegian. (Present perfect)
Pay attention to these forms as they are crucial for correct sentence structure.
§ Practical Takeaways
The key to mastering fortsette is to practice using it in various contexts. Don't overthink it; if you'd say 'continue' in English, chances are fortsette is the word you need in Norwegian.
§ Understanding "fortsette"
The Norwegian verb "fortsette" means "to continue." It's a regular verb, which makes it straightforward to conjugate once you understand the pattern. You'll find yourself using this word often in daily conversations, so it's a good one to get comfortable with.
- Infinitive
- fortsette
- Present Tense
- fortsetter
- Past Tense
- fortsatte
- Present Perfect
- har fortsatt
Notice how the present tense ends in -er, and the past tense changes to -satte. The present perfect uses "har" (to have) followed by the past participle "fortsatt." This is a typical pattern for many Norwegian verbs, so learning this one well will help you with others.
§ Basic Usage
You can use "fortsette" simply with a direct object or without one, similar to English. Think of it as either continuing an action or continuing *something*.
Vi må fortsette.
*We must continue.* (No direct object)
Han vil fortsette arbeidet.
*He wants to continue the work.* (Direct object: "arbeidet" - the work)
§ With Another Verb (Gerund)
When you want to say "continue doing something," you generally use "fortsette å" followed by the infinitive form of the second verb. This is very common.
Jeg vil fortsette å lære norsk.
*I want to continue to learn Norwegian.* (Literally, "continue to learn")
De fortsatte å snakke lenge.
*They continued to talk for a long time.*
§ Common Prepositions and Phrases
While "fortsette" doesn't always need a preposition, it can combine with a few to add nuance. Here are some examples:
- fortsette med (continue with): This is often used when continuing an activity or a task.
Hun fortsatte med leksene sine.
*She continued with her homework.*
- fortsette på (continue on/with, often for a path or project): Less common than "med," but useful for indicating progress on a specific route or larger project.
Vi må fortsette på denne veien.
*We must continue on this road.*
- fortsette etter (continue after): Used to indicate continuing an action after a specific point or event.
De fortsatte å spise etter filmen var slutt.
*They continued to eat after the movie was over.*
§ "Fortsatt" as an Adverb
It's important to know that "fortsatt" can also be used as an adverb meaning "still" or "yet." Don't confuse it with the verb form, although they are related.
Han bor fortsatt i Oslo.
*He still lives in Oslo.*
§ Putting it all Together
Practice using "fortsette" in different tenses and with other verbs. The more you use it, the more natural it will become. Try to form your own sentences. You will continue to improve your Norwegian, I am sure!
Let's talk about some common pitfalls when using the Norwegian verb "fortsette." Even though it means "to continue," there are a few nuances that can trip up English speakers. Pay attention, and you'll sound more natural.
§ Using "fortsette med" vs. "fortsette å"
This is probably the most common mistake. In English, we often say "continue doing something" or "continue to do something." Norwegian has a similar distinction, but it's not always a direct translation.
- Rule
- Use "fortsette å" + infinitive when you are continuing an action, especially if it's a specific, single action that was interrupted or paused.
Jeg må fortsette å jobbe. (I must continue to work / continue working.)
Etter pausen, fortsatte vi å gå. (After the break, we continued to walk / continued walking.)
- Rule
- Use "fortsette med" + noun (or a noun phrase) when you are continuing with an activity, a task, or a specific subject. It often implies a more general continuation rather than a resumption of a single action.
De vil fortsette med prosjektet. (They will continue with the project.)
Jeg må fortsette med studiene mine. (I must continue with my studies.)
§ "Fortsette" without an object/preposition
Sometimes, "fortsette" can stand alone, much like "continue" in English. This is when the context clearly indicates what is being continued.
Været er dårlig, men vi må fortsette. (The weather is bad, but we must continue.)
Historien fortsetter i neste kapittel. (The story continues in the next chapter.)
§ Avoiding Redundancy
Sometimes, English speakers overuse "continue" when a simpler Norwegian verb would do. For instance, if you mean to pick up where you left off, you might use "ta opp igjen" or "gjenoppta" instead.
- "Gjenoppta" (to resume): Often better when you specifically mean to start something again after a break.
- "Ta opp igjen" (to pick up again): Similar to "gjenoppta," it implies resuming an activity or topic.
La oss gjenoppta samtalen senere. (Let's resume the conversation later.)
While "fortsette samtalen" isn't wrong, "gjenoppta samtalen" sounds more natural if there was a clear pause.
§ Common phrases to watch out for
Be mindful of contexts where English uses "continue" but Norwegian has a more specific idiom.
- Instead of "continue to grow" (e.g., a business), you might use "fortsette å vokse" or sometimes just "vokse videre."
- "Continue reading" can be "fortsette å lese" or simply "lese videre" (read on). The latter is often more common.
Kan du lese videre? (Can you read on / continue reading?)
Understanding these distinctions will help you use "fortsette" more accurately and naturally. Keep practicing!

Wortherkunft
Old Norse: 'fortsetja' (to put before, to continue)
Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: to put before, to continue
North GermanicKultureller Kontext
The concept of 'fortsette' is straightforward in Norwegian, much like 'to continue' in English. There aren't significant unique cultural nuances associated with this particular word beyond its direct meaning of carrying on with an action or task. It's a common verb used in everyday conversation, from continuing a journey to continuing a conversation.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenFortsette is a regular verb. Here's how it's conjugated:
- Present tense: fortsetter (e.g., Jeg fortsetter å lese. - I continue to read.)
- Past tense: fortsatte (e.g., Han fortsatte å jobbe. - He continued to work.)
- Present perfect: har fortsatt (e.g., Vi har fortsatt siden morgenen. - We have continued since the morning.)
- Past perfect: hadde fortsatt (e.g., De hadde fortsatt i timevis. - They had continued for hours.)
- Future tense: skal fortsette / vil fortsette (e.g., Jeg skal fortsette i morgen. - I will continue tomorrow.)
Yes, 'fortsette' can be used reflexively, but it's less common than in English. For example, you might say 'Jeg fortsetter med arbeidet mitt' (I continue with my work) rather than 'Jeg fortsetter meg selv'. The focus is usually on the action itself, not on the person continuing themselves.
They are often interchangeable, but 'fortsette med' explicitly indicates what you are continuing 'with.' For example:
- 'Jeg fortsetter å lese.' (I continue to read.)
- 'Jeg fortsetter med lesingen.' (I continue with the reading.)
Not many distinct idioms, but it's frequently used in common phrases like:
- 'Fortsette som før' (Continue as before)
- 'Fortsette på samme måte' (Continue in the same way)
- 'Fortsette å puste' (Continue to breathe - used literally or figuratively for perseverance)
You use the infinitive form directly:
- 'Fortsett!' (Continue!)
- 'Fortsett å spise!' (Continue eating!)
While both mean 'to continue,' 'fortgå' often implies something happening on its own, like a process or an event. 'Fortsette' usually implies a conscious decision or action by someone.
- 'Arbeidet fortsetter.' (The work continues - implies someone is actively continuing it.)
- 'Prosessen fortgår.' (The process continues - implies it's happening by itself.)
Yes, in many contexts, 'fortsette' can mean 'to proceed.' For example, 'Vi kan fortsette nå' means 'We can proceed now.' It often implies moving forward with an action or task.
You typically use 'fortsette å' + infinitive.
- 'Jeg fortsetter å jobbe.' (I continue to work.)
- 'Han fortsetter å snakke.' (He continues to talk.)
Fortsette is a weak (or regular) verb. This means its past tense and past participle forms follow a predictable pattern, which makes it easier to conjugate once you know the rules for weak verbs.
You would generally use 'fortsette' on its own or with a preposition like 'med' or 'på'.
- 'De fortsatte.' (They carried on.)
- 'De fortsatte med arbeidet.' (They carried on with the work.)
- 'La oss fortsette på denne veien.' (Let's continue on this path.)

This sentence indicates a deliberate decision to 'continue' under challenging circumstances, showcasing a C1 level appreciation for the verb's nuanced implications of commitment and resilience.

The phrase 'å fortsette på samme spor' (to continue on the same track) at C1 level primarily suggests a lack of adaptability.

Etter en grundig evaluering av den nye teknologien, er det klart at det er både betydelige fordeler og ulemper ved å fortsette investeringen. På den positive siden har teknologien et enormt potensial for å revolusjonere markedet og gi oss et konkurransefortrinn. De tidlige testresultatene er lovende, og det finnes en klar etterspørsel fra kundene. Imidlertid er risikoen også høy. Utviklingskostnadene er betydelige, og det er ingen garanti for suksess. Konkurrenter kan også fortsette å utvikle lignende løsninger. Min anbefaling er å fortsette med en begrenset investering i neste fase, men med strenge milepæler og en klar avkastningsstrategi. Vi må overvåke fremdriften nøye før vi forplikter oss til fullskala implementering.

Til Det Historiske Selskap, Jeg skriver til dere i dag for å belyse hvordan den gamle tradisjonen med kveding har klart å fortsette gjennom utallige generasjoner, selv i møte med dramatiske samfunnsendringer og modernisering. Nøkkelen til dens utholdenhet ligger i flere faktorer. For det første har den muntlige overleveringen vært avgjørende; historier og melodier har blitt lært og videreført fra foreldre til barn. For det andre har kvedingen funnet sin plass i nye kontekster, for eksempel ved folkemusikkfestivaler og i pedagogiske programmer, som har bidratt til å bevare interessen.

Sample answer
Debatten om klimaendringspolitikk ser ut til å fortsette uten en klar løsning i sikte, noe som gjør implementeringen av effektive tiltak stadig vanskeligere. Kompleksiteten ligger i det faktum at det er en grunnleggende uenighet blant sentrale interessenter om både årsakene og de mest hensiktsmessige løsningene. Industrier kjemper mot strengere reguleringer, mens miljøorganisasjoner krever umiddelbar og radikal handling. Denne mangelen på konsensus gjør det utfordrende for lovgivere å fortsette å vedta politikk som er både ambisiøs og akseptabel for alle parter. Resultatet er ofte kompromisser som kanskje ikke er tilstrekkelige til å møte de presserende utfordringene klimaendringene presenterer. For å oppnå fremgang må vi finne måter å bygge bro over disse kløftene på og skape en felles forståelse av nødvendigheten av å fortsette å handle proaktivt.
