When you're just starting out in Norwegian, understanding core vocabulary is super important. Today, we're looking at the word kompetanse.
Think of kompetanse as someone's ability or skill in a particular area. It's about what you're good at or what you know how to do.
For example, if someone is a good painter, you could say they have "male kompetanse" (painting competence). If you're learning Norwegian, you're building your "norsk kompetanse" (Norwegian competence).
It's a really useful word to describe someone's professional or personal skills.
When we talk about the CEFR levels (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages), B1 is considered an intermediate level. At this stage, you can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc. You can also produce simple connected text on topics that are familiar or of personal interest. Furthermore, you can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes and ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.
When we talk about a C1 level in Norwegian, we're looking at a pretty advanced stage of language learning. At this point, you should be able to understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognize implicit meaning. You can express yourself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions. Your Norwegian should be flexible and effective for social, academic, and professional purposes. You can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organizational patterns, connectors, and cohesive devices.
When we talk about CEFR levels, C2 represents the highest level of proficiency a non-native speaker can achieve. It signifies near-native fluency and understanding.
At the C2 level, you can effortlessly understand virtually everything heard or read. You can summarize information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments and accounts in a coherent presentation.
You are also able to express yourself spontaneously, very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning even in more complex situations. This means you have a deep and nuanced command of the language.

- kompetanse (noun)
- CEFR Level
- B2
- Definition
- Competence or expertise. This refers to the ability to do something successfully or efficiently, often gained through training or experience.
§ How to use it in a sentence – grammar, prepositions
'Kompetanse' is a versatile noun. It's often used when talking about skills, qualifications, or professional abilities. Here's how you'll commonly see it:
§ Singular and Plural Forms
The word 'kompetanse' is a masculine noun. It generally doesn't change much in its singular forms:
- En kompetanse (a competence)
- Kompetansen (the competence)
In plural, it's:
- Kompetanser (competences)
- Kompetansene (the competences)
§ Common Prepositions with 'kompetanse'
You'll often find 'kompetanse' used with prepositions like 'i' (in), 'på' (on/in), 'innen' (within), and 'til' (to/for).
§ 'Kompetanse i' (Competence in)
This is very common when referring to a specific field or skill area.
Han har høy kompetanse i programmering. (He has high competence in programming.)
Vi søker etter personer med solid kompetanse i prosjektledelse. (We are looking for people with solid competence in project management.)
§ 'Kompetanse på' (Competence on/in)
Similar to 'i', 'på' can also indicate a specific area of expertise. It often emphasizes the practical aspect or knowledge about a particular subject.
Bedriften mangler kompetanse på kunstig intelligens. (The company lacks competence in artificial intelligence.)
Hun har bred kompetanse på ulike språk. (She has broad competence in various languages.)
§ 'Kompetanse innen' (Competence within)
This preposition is often used for broader fields or sectors.
Norge trenger mer kompetanse innenfor fornybar energi. (Norway needs more competence within renewable energy.)
§ 'Kompetanse til' (Competence to/for)
When 'kompetanse' is followed by an action, 'til' is often used.
Har du kompetanse til å utføre denne oppgaven? (Do you have the competence to perform this task?)
Vi mangler kompetanse til å løse problemet. (We lack the competence to solve the problem.)
§ Combining 'kompetanse' with adjectives
You can use various adjectives to describe the nature or level of 'kompetanse'.
- Faglig kompetanse (professional competence)
- Relevant kompetanse (relevant competence)
- Tverrfaglig kompetanse (interdisciplinary competence)
- Digital kompetanse (digital competence)
- Økt kompetanse (increased competence)
Det er viktig å ha god faglig kompetanse i jobben. (It is important to have good professional competence in the job.)
Vi må utvikle vår digitale kompetanse. (We must develop our digital competence.)
§ Related words and phrases
- Kompetent (adjective)
- Competent, able.
Han er en svært kompetent medarbeider. (He is a very competent employee.)
- Kompetanseområde (noun)
- Area of competence/expertise.
Dette er utenfor mitt kompetanseområde. (This is outside my area of expertise.)
Many English speakers learning Norwegian struggle with the word kompetanse. While it translates to 'competence' or 'expertise', it's not always a direct swap for English words like 'skills' or 'qualifications'. Let's look at some common errors.
§ Using 'Kompetanse' instead of 'Ferdigheter' (Skills)
A common mistake is to use kompetanse when you really mean 'skills'. While related, they are not the same. Kompetanse refers to a broader, overall ability or understanding, often gained through education or experience. 'Ferdigheter' are the specific, practical abilities.
- Wrong
- Jeg har mange tekniske kompetanser.
(I have many technical competences.)
- Right
- Jeg har mange tekniske ferdigheter.
(I have many technical skills.)
For denne jobben trenger vi noen med god teknisk kompetanse og sterke kommunikasjonsferdigheter. (For this job, we need someone with good technical competence (expertise/overall ability) and strong communication skills.)
§ Using 'Kompetanse' as a Verb
In English, you can say 'to be competent' or 'to have expertise'. In Norwegian, kompetanse is a noun. You cannot use it as a verb. You need to use expressions like 'å ha kompetanse' (to have competence) or 'å være kompetent' (to be competent).
- Wrong
- Jeg kompetanserer i programmering.
(I competence in programming.)
- Right
- Jeg har kompetanse i programmering.
(I have competence/expertise in programming.)
- Also Right
- Jeg er kompetent i programmering.
(I am competent in programming.)
Hun har bred kompetanse innenfor prosjektledelse. (She has broad competence/expertise within project management.)
§ Confusing 'Kompetanse' with 'Kvalifikasjoner' (Qualifications)
While 'qualifications' contribute to your kompetanse, they are not the same thing. Qualifications are often formal proofs (like degrees, certifications) that show you meet certain standards. Kompetanse is the actual ability and knowledge you possess.
- Wrong
- Mine kompetanser inkluderer en mastergrad.
(My competences include a master's degree.)
- Right
- Mine kvalifikasjoner inkluderer en mastergrad.
(My qualifications include a master's degree.)
Vi søker en kandidat med solid kompetanse og relevante kvalifikasjoner. (We are looking for a candidate with solid competence (expertise) and relevant qualifications.)
§ Overusing 'Kompetanse'
Sometimes learners overuse kompetanse in contexts where a simpler word or phrase would be more natural. Norwegian often prefers more direct expressions.
- Instead of "Han mangler kompetanse til å gjøre det," (He lacks competence to do it), you might say "Han er ikke i stand til å gjøre det" (He is not able to do it) or "Han kan ikke gjøre det" (He cannot do it).
- Instead of "Bygge kompetanse" (build competence), consider "utvikle ferdigheter" (develop skills) or "øke kunnskapen" (increase knowledge), depending on the specific context.
The key is to understand the nuance. Kompetanse is a great word for overall expertise or professional capability. But don't force it where 'skills', 'qualifications', or simpler verbs are a better fit. Pay attention to how native speakers use it in various contexts.
How Formal Is It?
"Hans kyndighet innen internasjonal rett er velkjent. (His competence in international law is well-known.)"
"Vi ser etter en kandidat med solid kompetanse innen prosjektledelse. (We are looking for a candidate with solid competence in project management.)"
"Har du litt greie på biler? (Do you know a bit about cars? / Do you have some competence with cars?)"
"Han er flink til å tegne. (He is good at drawing. / He has competence in drawing.)"
"Jeg har null peiling på det der. (I have no clue about that. / I have zero competence in that.)"

ज़रूरी व्याकरण
Nouns ending in -e like 'kompetanse' are typically feminine. However, in Norwegian, many feminine nouns can also be treated as masculine, especially in spoken language. It's generally safe to use the common gender (masculine/feminine) article 'en' for such nouns.
En kompetanse (A competence/an expertise)
To make 'kompetanse' plural, you would typically add '-r' for indefinite plural and '-ne' for definite plural, similar to many feminine nouns. However, 'kompetanse' is often used as a mass noun, referring to competence in a general sense, and may not frequently appear in the plural.
Indefinite plural: flere kompetanser (several competences/expertises). Definite plural: kompetansene (the competences/expertises).
When describing 'kompetanse' with an adjective, the adjective agrees in gender and number. Since 'kompetanse' is typically treated as common gender, the adjective will usually take the '-t' form if it's a neuter noun, but for common gender, it often remains unchanged or takes '-e' in plural contexts.
Han har god kompetanse (He has good competence). De har bred kompetanse (They have broad competence).
'Kompetanse' can be combined with other nouns to form compound nouns, where 'kompetanse' acts as the first part. The meaning of the compound noun will then relate to a specific type or area of competence.
Språkkompetanse (Language competence). Fagkompetanse (Professional expertise).
When using 'kompetanse' with prepositions, the choice of preposition depends on the context. Common prepositions include 'i' (in), 'på' (on/in), or 'innen' (within) to specify the area of competence.
Kompetanse i programmering (Competence in programming). Kompetanse på området (Competence in the area). Kompetanse innenfor ledelse (Competence within leadership).
