When you are learning Norwegian, you might notice that there are a few ways to say "to know." We use «kjenne» when you know a person, a place, or when you are familiar with something. You can also use «kjenne» when you are feeling something, like an emotion or a physical sensation. Think of it as knowing someone personally or experiencing a feeling. This is different from «vite», which means to know a fact or information.
