dele 30秒で
- Dele means to share or divide in Norwegian.
- It is used for physical objects, digital content, and math.
- Common prepositions are 'med' (with), 'i' (into), and 'på' (among).
- It is a regular weak verb conjugated as dele - deler - delte - har delt.
The Norwegian verb dele is a versatile and fundamental word that every learner must master. At its core, it translates to 'to share' or 'to divide' in English. However, its application spans across physical objects, abstract concepts, mathematical operations, and modern digital interactions. Understanding when to use 'dele' requires a grasp of both the physical act of splitting something into parts and the social act of giving a portion of something to someone else. In Norwegian culture, which often emphasizes equality and community (often linked to the concept of 'dugnad'), the word 'dele' carries significant weight. Whether you are splitting a bill at a restaurant, sharing a secret with a friend, or dividing a piece of land, 'dele' is the go-to verb. It is a weak verb, following the standard conjugation pattern of the first group (e-verbs), making it relatively easy to learn but deeply nuanced in its collocations.
- Physical Division
- This refers to the act of breaking a whole into smaller segments. For example, cutting a cake into eight pieces or partitioning a room with a curtain. In this context, 'dele' describes the mechanical process of separation.
- Social Sharing
- This involves the voluntary act of allowing others to use or have part of what you possess. It could be sharing your food, your time, or your home. It implies a sense of generosity or cooperation.
- Digital Context
- In the age of social media, 'dele' is the standard term for 'sharing' a post, a photo, or a link. If you want someone to 'share' your content on Facebook or Instagram, you ask them to 'dele' it.
Vi må lære barna å dele leker med hverandre helt fra de er små.
Furthermore, 'dele' is used in mathematics to mean 'divided by'. For instance, 'ti delt på to er fem' (ten divided by two is five). This mathematical usage is consistent across all levels of education and professional life. The word also appears in geographical and political contexts, such as 'et delt land' (a divided country) or 'å dele grense med' (to share a border with). The versatility of 'dele' makes it one of the most frequently used verbs in the Norwegian language, appearing in both mundane daily conversations and complex philosophical debates about wealth distribution and social equity.
Han valgte å dele sin dype innsikt om saken med hele gruppen.
Using 'dele' correctly involves understanding its transitivity and the prepositions that typically follow it. As a transitive verb, it usually takes a direct object—the thing being shared or divided. However, the meaning shifts slightly depending on whether you use 'med' (with), 'på' (on/among), or 'i' (into). Mastering these combinations is key to reaching a B1 level of proficiency. In the present tense, it is 'deler', in the past tense 'delte', and in the perfect tense 'har delt'.
- Dele med (Share with)
- Used when you give a portion of something to another person or include them in an experience. Example: 'Jeg deler pizzaen med deg' (I am sharing the pizza with you).
- Dele i (Divide into)
- Used when physically splitting something into several parts. Example: 'Hun delte eplet i to' (She divided the apple into two).
- Dele på (Split among/between)
- Often used for sharing responsibilities, costs, or burdens. Example: 'Vi må dele på utgiftene' (We must split the expenses).
Kan du dele dokumentet slik at jeg kan redigere det?
In reflexive forms, 'dele seg' can mean to split up or diverge. For example, 'veien deler seg' (the road forks/splits). This is common in descriptions of nature or paths. In mathematical contexts, the word order is very specific: '[Number] delt på [Number] er [Result]'. If you change the preposition here, the meaning is lost. Furthermore, 'dele' can be used figuratively to describe emotional states, such as 'å være delt i sin oppfatning' (to be divided in one's opinion/undecided).
De delte på ansvaret for å arrangere festen.
In Norway, you will hear 'dele' in almost every social setting. At the dinner table, a common phrase is 'Vil du dele?' (Do you want to share?), especially if there is a large dessert or a pizza. In professional environments, managers often talk about 'å dele informasjon' (sharing information) or 'å dele skjerm' (sharing screen) during digital meetings on Teams or Zoom. The word is ubiquitous because it touches on both the practicalities of work and the social rituals of Norwegian life.
- Social Media & Tech
- 'Husk å dele videoen!' (Remember to share the video!). This is the standard call to action for influencers and businesses alike in Norway.
- The Educational System
- From primary school math ('Hva er ti delt på to?') to university lectures on 'inntektsfordeling' (income distribution), 'dele' is the root of academic discussion regarding parts and wholes.
- Daily Errands
- At the bakery, you might ask: 'Kan du dele brødet i to?' (Can you cut the bread in half?). At a bar: 'Skal vi dele en flaske vin?' (Shall we share a bottle of wine?).
Politikerne er delt i synet på den nye skatten.
Furthermore, 'dele' appears frequently in the news. You might read about 'å dele ut priser' (handing out awards) or how a company 'deler ut utbytte' (distributes dividends) to its shareholders. In literature and songs, 'dele' is used to express intimacy, such as 'å dele livet med noen' (to share one's life with someone). It is a word that bridges the gap between the purely functional and the deeply emotional. If you listen to Norwegian podcasts or watch NRK, pay attention to how 'dele' is used to structure arguments—'Jeg vil dele mine tanker om...' (I want to share my thoughts on...).
Tusen takk for at du delte denne historien med oss.
One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make with 'dele' is using the wrong preposition. In English, we 'share with' or 'divide by'. In Norwegian, these translations aren't always one-to-one. For example, using 'dele av' when you mean 'dele med' can sound like you are taking a piece *off* something rather than sharing it *with* someone. Another common error is confusing 'dele' with 'skille'. While 'dele' means to divide or share, 'skille' means to separate or distinguish. You 'deler' a pizza, but you 'skiller' two fighting dogs.
- The 'Dele på' Trap
- Learners often say 'dele med' for everything. However, if you are talking about splitting a bill or a chore, 'dele på' is the idiomatic choice. Saying 'Vi delte med regningen' sounds like you and the bill were sharing something else, which is nonsensical.
- Mathematical Prepositions
- In math, always use 'delt på'. Some learners try to use 'delt i', which means 'divided into [parts]' rather than 'divided by [a number]'. 'Ti delt i to' means ten split into two pieces, while 'Ti delt på to' means 10 ÷ 2.
- Conjugation Errors
- Confusing 'dele' (verb) with 'del' (noun). 'En del' is 'a part'. Learners sometimes say 'Jeg vil del...' instead of 'Jeg vil dele...'. Always ensure the infinitive 'e' is present after modal verbs.
Feil: Vi må skille kaken. Riktig: Vi må dele kaken.
Another nuance is the difference between 'dele' and 'fordele'. 'Fordele' means to distribute or allocate, often in a more formal or systematic way. While you can 'dele' snacks among friends, a government 'fordeler' resources among departments. Using 'dele' in a highly formal administrative context might sound a bit too casual. Finally, be careful with the past participle 'delt'. It can also function as an adjective meaning 'divided' or 'split', as in 'meningene er delte' (opinions are divided). Don't forget the 'e' at the end of 'delte' when it's plural or definite!
Jeg delte ut arkene til alle studentene.
While 'dele' is the most common word for sharing and dividing, Norwegian offers several alternatives that provide more specific meanings depending on the context. Understanding these synonyms will help you move from B1 to B2 and C1 levels, as it allows for more precise expression. For example, if you are talking about splitting something with force, 'splitte' might be better. If you are talking about distributing something fairly, 'fordele' is the word. Let's look at how these compare to 'dele'.
- Fordele vs. Dele
- 'Fordele' implies a systematic distribution. You 'fordeler' wealth, tasks, or resources. 'Dele' is more general and can be just a simple split between two people. Example: 'Vi må fordele arbeidsoppgavene' (We must distribute the work tasks).
- Splitte vs. Dele
- 'Splitte' often has a more aggressive or forceful connotation, similar to 'to split' or 'to splinter'. It is often used for groups breaking apart. Example: 'Partiet ble splittet i to' (The party was split in two).
- Distribuere vs. Dele
- 'Distribuere' is the formal/academic term for distribution, used in logistics and economics. Example: 'Varene ble distribuert til alle butikkene' (The goods were distributed to all the stores).
I stedet for å dele alt, valgte de å parsellere ut tomtene.
Another interesting word is 'partisjonere', which is used in computer science for 'partitioning' a hard drive. In social contexts, you might use 'bidra med' (contribute with) if you are 'sharing' your expertise or help. If you are sharing a secret, 'betro' (entrust) is a more intimate and formal alternative: 'Jeg betrodde ham min hemmelighet' (I entrusted him with my secret). Knowing these alternatives prevents your Norwegian from sounding repetitive and helps you understand the nuance in literature and formal speeches.
