When you're describing something as big or large in Norwegian, you'll often use the word stort. It's a very common adjective to know!
You might use stort when talking about a big house, a large animal, or even a significant event. It's an important word for describing size in many everyday situations.
When we describe something in Norwegian as stort, we are saying it is big or large. This is an adjective, and it's a very common and useful word to know at an A2 level.
For example, you might say "et stort hus" (a big house) or "en stor bil" (a big car).
Notice that the ending can change based on the gender and number of the noun it describes, but stort itself is the neutral singular form.
Mastering words like stort helps you build basic descriptive sentences and understand everyday conversations in Norwegian.
When using the adjective "stort" (meaning big or large) in Norwegian, it's important to pay attention to gender and number. "Stort" is the neuter singular form. For masculine and feminine singular nouns, you would use "stor." For plural nouns, regardless of gender, you would use "store." This agreement is crucial for correct grammar.
When using the adjective "stor" (big/large) in Norwegian, it's important to pay attention to agreement with the noun it modifies. The form "stort" is the neuter singular form. This means you use "stort" when the noun it describes is a neuter noun in its singular form. For example, you would say "et stort hus" (a big house) because "hus" is a neuter noun.
For common masculine and feminine singular nouns, you would use "stor." For example, "en stor bil" (a big car) or "ei stor jente" (a big girl). When describing plural nouns, regardless of gender, you use "store." For instance, "store hus" (big houses) or "store biler" (big cars).
Understanding this grammatical agreement is key to using adjectives correctly in Norwegian and will significantly improve your fluency and accuracy. It's a common area where learners can make mistakes, so practicing these forms is very beneficial. Remember: "stor" for common singular, "stort" for neuter singular, and "store" for plural.

§ Basic Usage: Stort, Stor, Store
Alright, let's talk about 'stort'. It means 'big' or 'large'. But like many adjectives in Norwegian, it changes based on the noun it describes. This is super important to get right.
- Remember these forms:
- stort: for neuter singular nouns (e.g., 'et hus' - a house)
- stor: for masculine and feminine singular nouns (e.g., 'en bil' - a car, 'ei jente' - a girl)
- store: for plural nouns (all genders) and definite singular nouns (e.g., 'bilen' - the car)
Getting this right is crucial for sounding natural. Don't stress too much about the gender of every noun at first, but try to pay attention.
Det er et stort[It is a large house.]
Jeg har en stor[I have a big car.]
De har store[They have big dogs.]
§ Stort with Definite Nouns
When you're talking about 'the big house' or 'the big car', you use the definite form of the noun and 'store'. This applies to all genders in the singular definite and all plural nouns, whether definite or indefinite.
Det store[The big house is old.]
Den store[The big car is red.]
§ Stort as a Predicative Adjective
When 'stort' describes the subject of a sentence and comes after a verb like 'er' (is), 'blir' (becomes), or 'synes' (seems), it still agrees with the noun's gender and number.
Huset er stort. [The house is big.]
Bilen er stor. [The car is big.]
Husene er store. [The houses are big.]
§ Common Phrases with Stort
'Stort' is used in many common expressions. These are good to just learn as a whole.
Tusen takk for en stor[Thank you so much for a great joy! (literally 'big joy')]
Det er en stor[That is a big difference.]
Han har stor[He has great success. (literally 'big success')]

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
When using "stort" you're almost always referring to something physically large. It's often used for inanimate objects or animals. For example, you might say "et stort hus" (a big house) or "en stor hund" (a big dog). Remember that "stor" (the base form) changes its ending to agree with the noun's gender and number: "stor" for masculine/feminine singular, "stort" for neuter singular, and "store" for plural.
A common mistake is using "stort" for concepts like 'important' or 'great'. While in English you might say 'a big event' to mean 'an important event', in Norwegian you would typically use "viktig" (important) or "stor" in a different, more nuanced way that implies significance rather than just size. For example, "en viktig begivenhet" (an important event) is more common than "en stor begivenhet" in the sense of significance. Another mistake is forgetting gender agreement: using "stort" with a masculine or feminine noun instead of "stor".
सुझाव
Gender Matters: 'Stort' is Neuter!
Remember that 'stort' is the neuter form of the adjective 'stor'. This means you use it with neuter nouns (like 'et hus' - a house) or when describing something generally.
Comparing Sizes: 'Større' and 'Størst'
The comparative form is 'større' (bigger/larger) and the superlative is 'størst' (biggest/largest). You'll hear these often!
Specific vs. General Usage
Think of 'stor' (and thus 'stort') as the most common way to say big or large in Norwegian. It's very versatile.
Adjective Agreement with Nouns
Just like 'stor' changes to 'stort' for neuter nouns, it also changes to 'store' for plural nouns. Keep an eye out for this agreement!
Common Phrases with 'Stort'
You'll often hear 'det er stort' (it is big/it is large) or 'et stort problem' (a big problem). Practice these common collocations.
Don't Confuse with 'Mye'
'Stort' describes size, not quantity. For 'much' or 'a lot of', you would use 'mye'.
Size in Descriptions
Norwegians often use 'stor' and its forms to describe not just physical size, but also the importance or scale of something. 'En stor dag' means a big day.
Pronunciation Practice
The 'o' in 'stort' is a short 'o' sound, similar to the 'o' in short. The 'rt' combination can be tricky, so listen to native speakers.
Beyond Literal Size
'Stort' can also mean great or grand in a more abstract sense, like 'en stor kunstner' (a great artist).
Practice with Examples
Try forming your own sentences: 'Et stort tre' (a large tree), 'et stort eple' (a big apple). This helps solidify the neuter form.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालThis is a great question! Stor and stort are actually different forms of the same adjective, meaning 'big' or 'large'. The form you use depends on the noun it's describing. Stor is used with common gender nouns (en-words), and stort is used with neuter gender nouns (et-words).
You use stor for 'en' words, and stort for 'et' words. For example, 'en stor bil' (a big car) and 'et stort hus' (a big house). It's all about noun gender agreement.
Certainly! Here are a few:
- 'Et stort eple' (A big apple)
- 'Et stort problem' (A big problem)
- 'Et stort smil' (A big smile)
- 'Et stort tre' (A big tree)
Yes, that's correct. Stort is the neuter singular form of the adjective 'stor'. If the noun is neuter gender (an 'et' word), you use 'stort'.
No, for plural nouns, you use store, regardless of the gender of the noun in its singular form. For example, 'store biler' (big cars) or 'store hus' (big houses).
To say 'very big' with stort, you simply add 'veldig' (very) before it. So, 'veldig stort'. For example, 'Et veldig stort hus' (A very big house).
While its primary meaning is 'big' or 'large', 'stort' can also convey a sense of 'great' or 'important' in certain contexts, similar to how 'big' can sometimes be used in English. For example, 'En stor dag' (A big/important day).
The opposite of stort (big/large) is lite (small/little). Again, this is the neuter form of the adjective 'liten' (small). For example, 'et lite hus' (a small house).
Yes, it does! When the adjective comes before a definite noun, it takes the definite plural form. So, 'det store huset' (the big house). Notice how 'stort' becomes 'store' here.
A good way to remember is to always associate stort with 'et' nouns. When you learn a new Norwegian noun, always learn its gender ('en' or 'et'). If it's an 'et' word, then 'stort' will usually be the correct form to use for 'big'.
