- As a Standalone Verb

Practice constructing sentences with 'slutte' in these different ways. Try to combine it with verbs you already know and nouns that represent common activities or situations.

- Workplace
- In a professional setting, 'slutte' is used when someone decides to leave their job. 'Jeg skal slutte i september.' (I will quit in September.) Colleagues might discuss someone's departure: 'Har du hørt at Kari slutter?' (Have you heard Kari is quitting?). It's also used to signify the end of a workday or a meeting: 'Da slutter vi for i dag.' (Then we stop for today.)
Sjefen sa vi kunne slutte litt tidligere.

While 'slutte' is a relatively straightforward verb, learners can sometimes make a few common errors. Being aware of these pitfalls will help you use the word more accurately.
- Confusing 'slutte' with 'ferdig'
- 'Ferdig' means 'finished' or 'done' and is typically used to describe the state of completion of a task or project. 'Slutte' means to stop doing something or to quit. You can be 'ferdig med' (finished with) something, but you 'slutter å gjøre' (stop doing) something. For example, you are 'ferdig med' your homework, but you 'slutter å spille' (stop playing) a game. You wouldn't say 'Jeg er ferdig å spille'.
Incorrect: Jeg er ferdig å spise.
Correct: Jeg er ferdig med å spise. OR Jeg har sluttet å spise.
- Incorrect use of prepositions
- When 'slutte' is followed by a noun indicating a place or an organization, the preposition 'i' is typically used (e.g., 'slutte i jobben', 'slutte i bedriften'). Using other prepositions like 'på' or 'med' in these contexts would be incorrect.
Incorrect: Han sluttet på selskapet.
Correct: Han sluttet i selskapet.
- Overuse of the imperative
- While 'Slutt!' is a valid command, using it too often or in inappropriate situations can sound harsh. In more polite contexts, you might phrase it as a suggestion or question, like 'Kan vi slutte nå?' (Can we stop now?) or 'Det er kanskje på tide å slutte?' (Perhaps it's time to stop?).
Instead of just 'Slutt!', try: 'Kan vi ikke slutte å diskutere dette nå?'
- Confusing 'slutte' with 'avslutte'
- 'Avslutte' is a more formal synonym for 'slutte', often used for ending formal events, projects, or periods. While they can overlap, 'slutte' is more common in everyday, informal speech. Using 'avslutte' in very casual contexts might sound a bit too formal, though it's not strictly wrong.
Formal: Vi skal avslutte møtet klokken fem.
Informal: Vi skal slutte møtet klokken fem.
While 'slutte' is a versatile and common verb, there are other Norwegian words that can express similar ideas, each with its own nuances and preferred contexts. Understanding these alternatives will enrich your vocabulary and allow for more precise communication.
- 'Ferdig' (Adjective)
- Meaning: Finished, done.
Comparison: 'Ferdig' describes the state of completion, while 'slutte' describes the action of stopping. You are 'ferdig med' a task (finished with it), but you 'slutter å gjøre' a task (stop doing it). You can be 'ferdig' with your meal, but you 'slutter å spise' (stop eating). 'Ferdig' is often used with 'med' or as a predicate adjective.
Jeg er ferdig med boken. (I am finished with the book.)
Jeg skal slutte å lese så mye.
- 'Opphøre' (Verb)
- Meaning: To cease, to terminate (often used in a more formal or legal context).
Comparison: 'Opphøre' is a more formal and often more permanent way of saying 'slutte'. It's typically used for businesses ceasing operations, contracts ending, or rights terminating. 'Slutte' is much more general and everyday.
Bedriften vil opphøre ved årsskiftet. (The company will cease operations at the turn of the year.)
Jeg skal slutte å spise godteri.
- 'Avslutte' (Verb)
- Meaning: To conclude, to finish, to wrap up.
Comparison: 'Avslutte' is very similar to 'slutte' but is often used for more formal endings, like concluding a meeting, a presentation, a project, or a formal period. 'Slutte' is more general and can be used for any kind of stopping. You might 'avslutte' a speech, but you 'slutter' to play a game.
La oss avslutte diskusjonen.
La oss slutte å krangle.
- 'Stoppe' (Verb)
- Meaning: To stop (often used for physical movement or stopping a process).
Comparison: 'Stoppe' is very close in meaning to 'slutte' and can often be used interchangeably, especially when referring to stopping an action or movement. However, 'slutte' is more commonly used for ending relationships, jobs, or habits, while 'stoppe' is more about halting something in progress. For instance, you 'slutter' a job, but a car 'stopper'. You can 'stoppe' a fight, and you can 'slutte' to fight.
Bilen måtte stoppe på grunn av motorproblemer.
Han bestemte seg for å slutte som trener.
How Formal Is It?

The evolution of 'slutte' from a physical action like 'bending' to an abstract concept like 'stopping' is common in language. Think of how 'fall' can mean a physical fall or the fall of an empire.

Master the 'å' + Infinitive
The construction 'slutte å' followed by an infinitive verb is extremely common and essential for expressing 'to stop doing something'. Practice forming sentences like 'Jeg slutter å trene' (I stop exercising) or 'Han slutter å snakke' (He stops talking).
Emphasize the Double 't'
Norwegian double consonants are pronounced longer and more distinctly. Make sure to clearly articulate the 'tt' in 'slutte' (slutt-te) to sound more natural.
Know Your Registers
'Slutte' is very versatile. While 'slutt!' is informal, using 'avslutte' can make your speech sound more formal when concluding meetings or projects.

Listen for 'Sluttet'
The past tense 'sluttet' is very common. When listening to Norwegian, try to catch instances of 'sluttet' and identify what action or state came to an end.

The word 'slutte' originates from Old Norse 'slúta', meaning 'to bend down', 'to lean', or 'to end'. Over time, the meaning evolved from a physical bending or ending to a more abstract cessation of actions or states.
원래 의미: To bend, to lean, to bow.
Proto-Germanic, Old Norse문화적 맥락
While 'slutte' itself is neutral, the context in which it's used can be sensitive. For example, announcing that you are 'slutte i jobben' (quitting your job) can be a significant personal announcement. Similarly, 'slutte med en vane' (quitting a habit) might be related to personal health struggles.
The concept of 'quitting' or 'stopping' is universal, but the specific nuances of 'slutte' in Norwegian can be tied to cultural norms around work-life balance and social etiquette. For instance, the phrase 'Da slutter vi' is a common and polite way to end a formal meeting or a class.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Both 'slutte' and 'avslutte' mean to finish or end. However, 'slutte' is more general and used in everyday situations, like stopping an activity or quitting a job. 'Avslutte' is often used for more formal endings, such as concluding a meeting, a presentation, or a project. Think of 'slutte' as simply stopping, and 'avslutte' as concluding or wrapping up.
You use 'slutte i' when you are leaving a place, an organization, or a job. For example, 'slutte i en bedrift' (quit a company) or 'slutte i et lag' (leave a team). You use 'slutte med' when you are stopping a habit, a practice, or a substance. For example, 'slutte med sukker' (quit sugar) or 'slutte med røyking' (quit smoking).
The past tense of 'slutte' is 'sluttet'. For example, 'Jeg sluttet å spise kjøtt i fjor' (I stopped eating meat last year).
Yes, 'slutte' can mean 'to finish', especially when referring to the end of an activity or a period. For example, 'Skolen slutter klokka tre' (School finishes at three o'clock). However, when referring to a task being completed, 'ferdig' is often more appropriate, like 'Jeg er ferdig med leksene' (I am finished with my homework).
'Slutt!' is the imperative form of 'slutte' and means 'Stop!'. It can be used as a direct command. Whether it's rude depends heavily on the context, tone of voice, and relationship between the speakers. In a situation where a child is doing something dangerous, 'Slutt!' might be necessary. However, in polite conversation among adults, it might be considered abrupt, and softer phrases like 'Kan vi slutte nå?' (Can we stop now?) or 'Det er kanskje på tide å slutte?' (Perhaps it's time to stop?) might be preferred.
While often interchangeable, 'stoppe' is more commonly used for halting physical movement or something in progress (e.g., a car stopping, a fight being stopped). 'Slutte' is more often used for ending a commitment, a job, a habit, or a longer activity. You 'stoppe' a car, but you 'slutte' your job. You can 'stoppe' a discussion, but you 'slutte' to discuss something as a habit.
The most common way to say 'to quit' is 'å slutte'. If you are quitting a job, you say 'å slutte i jobben'. If you are quitting a habit, you say 'å slutte med [the habit]'.
'Slutte å' is followed by an infinitive verb and means 'to stop doing [verb]'. For example, 'slutte å spise' means 'to stop eating', and 'slutte å leke' means 'to stop playing'.
The verb 'slutte' is not typically used reflexively in Norwegian in the same way some verbs are in other languages. You don't say 'jeg slutter meg'. Instead, you would say 'jeg slutter' (I stop) or 'jeg slutter å gjøre noe' (I stop doing something).
Yes, there are a few. 'Å slutte å puste' means to stop breathing (to die). 'Å slutte å telle' implies something is too numerous to count. 'Å slutte fred' means to make peace. These are more figurative or specific uses.

- Slutte means to finish or stop doing something.
- Commonly used for ending activities, jobs, or habits.
- Often followed by 'å' and an infinitive verb.
- Use 'slutte i' for jobs/organizations.
Master the 'å' + Infinitive
The construction 'slutte å' followed by an infinitive verb is extremely common and essential for expressing 'to stop doing something'. Practice forming sentences like 'Jeg slutter å trene' (I stop exercising) or 'Han slutter å snakke' (He stops talking).
Context is Key for 'i' vs. 'med'
Remember the difference: use 'slutte i' for leaving places or organizations ('slutte i jobben', 'slutte i skolen') and 'slutte med' for stopping habits or practices ('slutte med sukker', 'slutte med dårlige vaner').
Emphasize the Double 't'
Norwegian double consonants are pronounced longer and more distinctly. Make sure to clearly articulate the 'tt' in 'slutte' (slutt-te) to sound more natural.
Know Your Registers
'Slutte' is very versatile. While 'slutt!' is informal, using 'avslutte' can make your speech sound more formal when concluding meetings or projects.
