- Core Meaning
- 'Natt' is the Norwegian word for 'night'. It refers to the time of day when the sun has set and it is dark. This is a fundamental word used in everyday conversation to talk about sleeping, resting, or activities that happen after sunset.
- Daily Life
- You will hear 'natt' used constantly in relation to daily routines. For instance, people talk about going to bed at 'natt', sleeping through the 'natt', or waking up in the morning after a long 'natt'. It's also used to describe the general atmosphere of the evening and night, such as a quiet 'natt' or a lively 'natt'.
- Time and Events
- 'Natt' is essential for discussing time. It's the opposite of 'dag' (day). When it gets dark, people say it's 'natt'. Events that occur during this period are often described as nighttime events. For example, 'en rolig natt' means 'a quiet night', and 'en lang natt' means 'a long night'. It's a basic concept that frames a significant portion of our lives.
- Figurative Use
- While primarily literal, 'natt' can also be used metaphorically. For instance, a period of difficulty or hardship might be referred to as a 'mørk natt' (dark night), implying a challenging time. However, at the A1 level, the focus is on its literal meaning of nighttime.
God natt!
Solen går ned om natten.
- Common Usage
- 'Natt' is used to describe the entire period of darkness. For example, 'Det er kaldt om natten' means 'It is cold at night'. It's a basic temporal marker.
Jeg liker den mørke natten.
- Basic Sentences
- At the A1 level, you'll use 'natt' in simple declarative sentences. For example, 'Det er natt nå' means 'It is night now'. You can also use it to talk about sleeping: 'Jeg sover om natten' translates to 'I sleep at night'.
- Expressing Time
- 'Natt' helps define the time of day. A common phrase is 'god natt', meaning 'good night', used when someone is going to sleep. You might also hear 'i natt', meaning 'last night' or 'tonight', depending on context. For example, 'Jeg skal sove i natt' means 'I will sleep tonight'.
- Describing Weather/Conditions
- You can combine 'natt' with adjectives to describe the conditions. 'En kald natt' means 'a cold night'. 'En mørk natt' means 'a dark night'. These simple combinations are very useful for basic descriptions.
- Talking About Activities
- Discussing what happens during the night is common. 'Hva gjorde du i natt?' means 'What did you do last night?'. Or, 'Vi jobbet hele natten' means 'We worked all night'.
Solen er borte om natten.
Det er stille om natten.
- Everyday Conversations
- You'll hear 'natt' constantly in everyday Norwegian. When people are saying goodbye at night, they say 'God natt!'. When discussing sleep schedules, 'Jeg sover godt om natten' (I sleep well at night) is common. Parents often tell their children 'Sov godt i natt' (Sleep well tonight).

- Public Announcements
- In public transport or at events, you might hear announcements related to the time of day, such as 'Vær forsiktig om natten' (Be careful at night).
Hva skjedde i natt?
Det var en vakker natt.
- Confusing with 'Dag'
- The most common mistake for beginners is confusing 'natt' (night) with 'dag' (day). Remember that 'natt' is for the period of darkness, while 'dag' is for the period of light. Using them interchangeably will lead to misunderstandings.
- Incorrect Definite Form
- While 'natt' is the base form, the definite form 'natten' is very common. Beginners might forget to add the '-en' when referring to 'the night' specifically. For example, saying 'Jeg liker natt' (I like night) is correct, but saying 'Jeg liker natt' when you mean 'I like the night' (referring to a specific night or the concept of night) is less natural than 'Jeg liker natten'.
- Misusing Prepositions
- The prepositions 'om' and 'i' are frequently used with 'natt'. 'Om natten' generally means 'at night' or 'during the night' as a recurring event or general time. 'I natt' usually refers to a specific past or future night (last night/tonight). Beginners might mix these up, leading to confusion about the specific time being referenced.
- Pronunciation
- The Norwegian 'tt' sound can be tricky. Ensure you pronounce it clearly, similar to the 'tt' in English 'butter', but with a slightly harder stop. Avoid pronouncing it like a soft 't' as in 'water'.
Feil: Jeg liker dag. Riktig: Jeg liker natt.
- 'Dag' (Day)
- This is the direct antonym. 'Dag' refers to the period of daylight, from sunrise to sunset. It's the opposite of 'natt'. Example: 'Solen skinner om dagen, men det er mørkt om natten.' (The sun shines during the day, but it is dark at night.)
- 'Kveld' (Evening)
- 'Kveld' refers to the early part of the night, typically from sunset until bedtime. It's the transition period between day and full night. 'Natt' is the entire duration of darkness. Example: 'Vi spiste middag i kveld.' (We ate dinner this evening.) 'Det blir fort mørkt om natten.' (It gets dark quickly at night.)
- 'Midnatt' (Midnight)
- This is a specific point in time: twelve o'clock at night. It's a precise moment within the broader period of 'natt'. Example: 'Klokken er snart midnatt.' (It's almost midnight.)
- 'Mørketid' (Polar Night)
- This is a specific phenomenon in polar regions where the sun does not rise for extended periods during winter. It's a more extreme and prolonged form of darkness than a regular 'natt'. Example: 'I Tromsø har de mørketid om vinteren.' (In Tromsø, they have polar night in the winter.)
'Natt' er mørkt, 'dag' er lyst.
How Formal Is It?
Curiosidade
The PIE root '*nokʷts' is so ancient that it's found in languages as diverse as Latin ('nox'), Greek ('nyx'), Sanskrit ('nakṣ'), and English ('night'). This shows how fundamental the concept of night has been throughout human history.
Guia de pronúncia
- Pronouncing the 'a' too much like the 'a' in 'cat' (too short and fronted).
- Softening the final 't' sound, making it sound more like 'nah' or 'nab'.
- Adding an extra vowel sound after the 't'.

The word 'natt' comes from Old Norse 'nátt', which in turn derives from Proto-Germanic '*nahts' and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European '*nokʷts'. This root is shared across many Indo-European languages, indicating its ancient origin.
Significado original: The original meaning was simply 'night' or 'darkness'.
Indo-European, GermanicContexto cultural
The word itself is neutral. However, discussions about 'natt' in the context of the polar night can evoke feelings of isolation or beauty depending on personal experience and perspective. It's also important to be aware that for some, nighttime can be associated with fear or difficulty due to personal experiences or safety concerns in certain areas.
While 'night' is the direct translation, the cultural nuances of darkness and light in Norway, especially concerning the extreme seasonal variations, add depth to the understanding of 'natt'.
