Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

Tone 1 is the 'low-high' pitch pattern used primarily for single-syllable words and many compound words in Norwegian.

  • Use Tone 1 for most words that were originally one syllable (e.g., 'bil').
  • The pitch starts low and rises slightly within the stressed syllable.
  • Tone 1 is the default for many loanwords and compound nouns.
Low Pitch ↘ + High Pitch ↗ = Tone 1
