kart
§ Don't confuse 'kart' with 'card'
Many English speakers learning Norwegian automatically think 'kart' sounds like 'cart' and then try to connect it to 'card'. Resist this urge! In Norwegian, 'kart' means 'map'. A 'card' (like a credit card or a playing card) is usually 'kort'.
- DEFINITION
- Kart: map
Vi trenger et kart for å finne veien. (We need a map to find the way.)
- DEFINITION
- Kort: card, short
Kan jeg betale med kort? (Can I pay with card?)
§ Using 'kart' with prepositions
When talking about looking at a map, finding something on a map, or needing a map, English speakers often default to 'on the map'. While 'på kartet' (on the map) is sometimes correct, Norwegian often uses different prepositions depending on the context.
- På kartet: Use this when something is physically depicted on the map, or you are literally standing on a map (rare).
Byen er markert på kartet. (The city is marked on the map.)
- I kartet: This is often used when you are looking *into* the map, examining its details, or if information is contained *within* the map. Think of it as 'in the map's content'. This is very common when actively using a map to navigate or plan.
Jeg fant ruten i kartet. (I found the route in the map.)
Vi må se nærmere i kartet for å finne hytta. (We need to look closer in the map to find the cabin.)
- Et kart over: When you specify what the map is *of*, use 'et kart over' (a map of).
Har du et kart over byen? (Do you have a map of the city?)
§ Gender and plural of 'kart'
'Kart' is a neuter noun. This means it takes the indefinite article 'et' and the definite ending '-et'.
- DEFINITION
- Et kart: a map
Jeg trenger et kart. (I need a map.)
- DEFINITION
- Kartet: the map
Hvor er kartet? (Where is the map?)
The plural of 'kart' is also 'kart' in the indefinite form. In the definite plural, it's 'kartene'.
- DEFINITION
- Kart: maps
Vi har mange kart. (We have many maps.)
- DEFINITION
- Kartene: the maps
Hvor er kartene over fjellet? (Where are the maps of the mountain?)

- Har du et kart? (Do you have a map?)
