- Glemme means to forget.
- It's a common verb for memory failure.
- Irregular verb: glemmer, glemte, glemt.
- Opposite of 'huske' (to remember).
The Norwegian verb 'glemme' translates directly to 'to forget' in English. It is a fundamental verb used in everyday conversations to express the act of not remembering something or someone, or of letting something slip from one's memory. You will encounter this word very frequently as it describes a common human experience.
- Core Meaning
- To fail to remember; to lose the memory of something.
- Usage Contexts
- 'Glemme' is used when you can't recall information, an event, a person's name, an appointment, or even a task you were supposed to do. It can also refer to forgetting a place or a skill.
Jeg glemmer aldri den dagen.
Har du glemt nøklene dine?
Det er lett å glemme hvor fort tiden går.
This verb is essential for expressing a wide range of situations. Whether you've forgotten an important meeting, a loved one's birthday, or simply where you put your phone, 'glemme' is the word you'll use. It's also used in more abstract senses, like forgetting past troubles or forgetting to do something important. The concept of forgetting is universal, making this a high-frequency word in any language.
- Examples of Use
- - Forgetting names: 'Jeg glemmer alltid navn.' (I always forget names.)
- - Forgetting tasks: 'Jeg må huske å ikke glemme å vanne blomstene.' (I must remember not to forget to water the flowers.)
- - Forgetting experiences: 'Den konserten var så bra at jeg aldri vil glemme den.' (That concert was so good that I will never forget it.)
- - Forgetting objects: 'Jeg tror jeg glemte lommeboken min på kafeen.' (I think I forgot my wallet at the cafe.)
'Glemme' is a transitive verb, meaning it usually takes a direct object. This object is what is being forgotten. The verb conjugates based on tense (present, past, future) and subject, though in Norwegian, the subject-verb agreement is simpler than in many other languages. Understanding the different tenses is key to using 'glemme' correctly.
- Present Tense
- The present tense of 'glemme' is 'glemmer'. It is used for actions happening now or habitual actions. Example: 'Jeg glemmer aldri bursdagen din.' (I never forget your birthday.)
- Past Tense (Preterite)
- The past tense is 'glemte'. This is used for actions that were completed in the past. Example: 'Han glemte å kjøpe melk.' (He forgot to buy milk.)
- Past Participle
- The past participle is 'glemt'. This form is used with auxiliary verbs like 'har' (have) to form the perfect tenses. Example: 'Vi har glemt avtalen.' (We have forgotten the appointment.)
Hva glemmer du ofte?
Jeg glemte å sende e-posten i går.
De har glemt å fortelle oss sannheten.
The object of 'glemme' can be a noun, a pronoun, or even a clause introduced by 'at' (that). For instance, 'Jeg glemmer at jeg har en avtale.' (I forget that I have an appointment.) When referring to forgetting a person, you would use their name or a pronoun: 'Jeg glemte ham.' (I forgot him.) The verb 'glemme' can also be used reflexively with 'seg' to mean 'to forget oneself', implying to behave inappropriately or lose control, though this is less common at A1 level. For example, 'Han glemte seg og sa noe dumt.' (He forgot himself and said something foolish.)
You'll hear 'glemme' constantly in everyday Norwegian. It's a staple in casual conversations, family interactions, and workplace discussions. Imagine a parent reminding a child: 'Ikke glem å pusse tennene dine!' (Don't forget to brush your teeth!). Or friends making plans: 'Beklager, jeg glemte at vi skulle møtes i dag.' (Sorry, I forgot we were supposed to meet today.)
- Daily Life
- In households, 'glemme' is used for reminders about chores, appointments, or items needed from the store. 'Har du glemt å ta ut søppelet?' (Have you forgotten to take out the trash?).
- Social Interactions
- When meeting new people, someone might say, 'Jeg glemmer aldri første gang vi møttes.' (I never forget the first time we met.) Or, regrettably, 'Unnskyld, jeg glemte navnet ditt.' (Excuse me, I forgot your name.)
- Workplace and Education
- Teachers might remind students: 'Ikke glem innleveringsfristen!' (Don't forget the submission deadline!). Colleagues might discuss project details: 'Jeg er redd vi har glemt en viktig detalj.' (I'm afraid we have forgotten an important detail.)
Kan du tro at jeg glemte bursdagen din?
Jeg vil aldri glemme denne turen til Norge.
Det er så lett å glemme ting når man er stresset.
You'll also hear it in media, such as news reports discussing historical events or personal stories where someone recounts forgetting something significant. Even in songs, the theme of remembering or forgetting is common, and 'glemme' would be the natural verb to use. Its prevalence underscores its importance for basic Norwegian communication.
Learners of Norwegian often make mistakes with 'glemme', primarily due to its irregular verb forms and potential confusion with similar concepts. One common pitfall is using the wrong tense. Forgetting to use the correct past tense form ('glemte' or 'glemt') when describing a past event is frequent.
- Incorrect Tense Usage
- Mistake: 'Jeg glemmer boken min i går.' (Incorrect: using present tense for a past event).
- Correction: 'Jeg glemte boken min i går.' (Correct: using the simple past tense).
- Confusion with 'Huske' (to remember)
- Mistake: Using 'glemme' when you mean 'to remember'. This is a conceptual error rather than a grammatical one, but it leads to the opposite meaning.
- Correct Usage: 'Jeg husker det godt.' (I remember it well.) vs. 'Jeg glemmer det ikke.' (I don't forget it.)
- Incorrect Use of Past Participle
- Mistake: 'Jeg har glemte boken.' (Incorrect: The past participle 'glemt' should follow 'har', not the simple past 'glemte').
- Correction: 'Jeg har glemt boken.' (Correct: using the past participle with 'har').
Feil: Jeg glemmer alt i går.
Riktig: Jeg glemte alt i går.
Feil: Har du husket nøklene?
Another less common but possible mistake is omitting the object of 'glemme' when it's implied but unclear. While context can help, it's generally better to be explicit. Also, be mindful of prepositions. While 'glemme' itself doesn't typically take a preposition for its direct object, phrases like 'glemme av' can sometimes be heard, though 'glemme' followed directly by the object is standard. For A1 learners, focusing on the irregular verb forms and the distinction between 'glemme' and 'huske' will cover the most crucial aspects.
While 'glemme' is the primary verb for 'to forget', there are nuances and related concepts that might offer alternatives or require careful distinction. Understanding these can enrich your vocabulary and improve precision in your Norwegian.
- Huske (to remember)
- This is the direct antonym of 'glemme'. While not a synonym, it's crucial for understanding the concept of forgetting by contrasting it with remembering. Example: 'Jeg husker det godt, men jeg glemmer aldri.' (I remember it well, but I never forget it.)
- Å miste (to lose)
- This is similar when you forget where you put something. You might have 'mistet' (lost) your keys because you 'glemte' (forgot) where you put them. Example: 'Jeg har mistet telefonen min, jeg glemte hvor jeg la den.' (I have lost my phone, I forgot where I put it.)
- Å overse (to overlook)
- This implies a failure to notice or consider something, which can sometimes result from forgetting. It's more about a lapse in attention than a memory failure. Example: 'Jeg beklager, jeg overset den meldingen.' (I'm sorry, I overlooked that message.)
- Å unnlate (to fail to do, to omit)
- This is more formal and implies a deliberate or negligent failure to perform an action, often associated with forgetting a duty. Example: 'Han unnlot å informere ledelsen.' (He failed to inform management.) This is stronger than simply forgetting.
Jeg glemmer aldri å si takk.
Jeg husker ikke hvor jeg la nøklene.
Jeg har mistet min gamle notatbok.
At the A1 level, the most important distinction to grasp is between 'glemme' (to forget) and 'huske' (to remember). The others, like 'miste' or 'overse', introduce more specific scenarios of loss or inattention that might be related to forgetting but are not direct synonyms.
How Formal Is It?
Curiosidade
The root of 'glemme' is thought to be related to similar words in other Germanic languages, such as English 'glimmer' and German 'glimmen', which originally referred to a faint or wavering light, perhaps metaphorically suggesting a fading memory. However, this connection is debated among etymologists.
Guia de pronúncia
- Pronouncing the 'g' softly like in 'gentle'.
- Making the 'e' sounds too long or like the 'ay' sound in 'say'.
- Incorrect stress placement on the second syllable.
Nível de dificuldade
At A1 level, recognizing 'glemme' and its basic forms is crucial. Understanding simple sentences with 'glemme' is achievable. More complex sentence structures or idiomatic uses might present challenges.

NeutralFácil de confundir
Both 'glemme' and 'huske' relate to memory. 'Glemme' is the absence of memory, while 'huske' is the presence of it.
'Glemme' means to forget, to fail to recall. 'Huske' means to remember, to retain in memory. They are direct antonyms.
Jeg <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>glemmer</mark> aldri. Jeg <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>husker</mark> alt.
You might 'glemme' where you put your keys, and as a result, you 'miste' them (lose them). The confusion arises when the context implies both actions.
'Glemme' is a mental state of not remembering. 'Miste' is a physical state of no longer possessing something. You can forget an appointment (glemme en avtale) without losing anything physical, but you can lose your wallet (miste lommeboken) because you forgot where you put it (glemte hvor jeg la den).
Jeg <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>glemte</mark> hvor jeg la nøklene, så nå har jeg <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>mistet</mark> dem.
This is a noun derived from the verb 'glemme'. Learners might confuse the verb form with the noun form.

Both can involve not doing something, but the reason and formality differ.
'Glemme' is forgetting, an unintentional lapse. 'Unnlate' is to fail to do something, often implying negligence or a formal omission. You might 'glemme' to send an email, but you 'unnlate' to report a crime.

Origem da palavra
The Norwegian word 'glemme' originates from the Old Norse word 'gleyma'. This word, in turn, is believed to stem from a Proto-Germanic root, likely '*glimōną' or '*glamōną', related to concepts of 'forgetting' or 'losing'.
Significado original: The original meaning was likely 'to forget' or 'to lose from memory'.
Indo-European > Germanic > North Germanic > Old NorseContexto cultural
While forgetting is a normal cognitive function, consistently forgetting important things, especially in professional or social settings, can be perceived negatively. It's generally advisable to make an effort to remember important commitments and details. However, people are usually understanding of occasional lapses in memory.
In English-speaking cultures, forgetting is also a common human experience, and the word 'forget' is used in similar contexts to 'glemme'. The social implications of forgetting are also comparable, where forgetting important events can be seen as impolite or uncaring. The emphasis on remembering historical events and national identity is also a shared cultural trait.
