§ How to use 'lys' in a sentence
The word 'lys' is an adjective in Norwegian, and it means 'light' in English. Like many Norwegian adjectives, its form can change depending on the gender and number of the noun it describes, and whether it's in the definite or indefinite form. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward once you see some examples.
Here's a breakdown of how 'lys' behaves:
- Indefinite singular (masculine/feminine): Use 'lys'
- Indefinite singular (neuter): Use 'lyst'
- Indefinite plural: Use 'lyse'
- Definite singular and plural: Use 'lyse'
§ 'Lys' with common nouns
Let's look at how 'lys' changes with different nouns. Remember that Norwegian nouns have genders: masculine (en), feminine (ei), and neuter (et).
- Masculine/Feminine singular (indefinite)
- When describing a singular masculine or feminine noun, you use the basic form 'lys'.
En lys
Ei lys
- Neuter singular (indefinite)
- For singular neuter nouns, you add a 't' to 'lys', making it 'lyst'. This is a common pattern for many Norwegian adjectives with neuter nouns.
Et lyst
Et lyst
- Plural (indefinite)
- When describing multiple items, regardless of their gender, you add an 'e' to 'lys', making it 'lyse'.
Lyse
Jeg liker lyse
- Definite form (singular and plural)
- For definite nouns (when you're talking about 'the light shirt' or 'the light houses'), you also use 'lyse', along with the definite article (den, det, de) or a possessive pronoun.
Den lyse
Det lyse
De lyse
§ Comparative and Superlative Forms
Like many adjectives, 'lys' also has comparative and superlative forms to express 'lighter' and 'lightest'.
- Comparative
- To say 'lighter', you use 'lysere'.
Denne fargen er lysere. (This color is lighter.)
- Superlative
- To say 'lightest', you use 'lysest'.
Dette er den lyseste
§ Common expressions with 'lys'
'Lys' is also used in some common expressions, often to describe light-related concepts or even a person's complexion or hair color.
- Lys hud (Light skin)
- Used to describe someone with fair skin.
Hun har lys hud. (She has light skin.)
- Lyst hår (Light hair)
- Used to describe someone with blonde or light-colored hair. Note the 't' because 'hår' (hair) is a neuter noun.
Han har lyst hår. (He has light hair.)
- En lys idé (A bright idea)
- Here, 'lys' is used metaphorically to mean 'bright' or 'good'.
Det var en lys idé! (That was a bright idea!)
§ Prepositions with 'lys'
While 'lys' itself doesn't directly take prepositions, it's often used with them when describing location or context.
- I lys av (In light of)
- This is a common phrase meaning 'considering' or 'in view of'.
I lys av
Keep practicing these forms, and you'll get the hang of it. The key is to notice the gender of the noun you're describing and whether it's singular or plural, definite or indefinite.

When you refer to a physical light source, like a lamp or a candle, you use 'lys' as a noun.
语法模式
容易混淆
'Lett' also means 'light,' but it's used for weight or ease, not brightness. It's easy to mix them up because both translate to 'light' in English.
'Lett' refers to something that isn't heavy or something that is easy. 'Lys' refers to something that is bright, or the opposite of dark.
Vesken er lett. (The bag is light.) / Norsken er lett! (Norwegian is easy!)
The word 'lys' can be both an adjective (light, bright) and a noun (a light, a candle, illumination). This can be confusing when you see it in a sentence.
As an adjective, 'lys' describes something. As a noun, 'lys' is a thing itself.
Kan du tenne lyset? (Can you light the light/candle?) / Det er et sterkt lys her. (There is a strong light here.)
'Lettelse' means 'relief,' which comes from 'lett' (easy/light). The connection can make you think it relates to 'lys' (light/bright) due to similar sounds and the general concept of things being 'lightened'.
'Lettelse' is a feeling of relief. It has no direct connection to brightness.
Det var en stor lettelse. (It was a great relief.)
'Lyse' is the verb 'to shine' or 'to lighten,' directly related to the adjective 'lys.' However, its form can be mistaken for the adjective 'lys' if you're not paying attention to context.
'Lyse' is an action word. 'Lys' describes something.
Solen lyser. (The sun is shining.) / Hun lyser opp rommet. (She brightens up the room.)
'Lykke' means 'happiness' or 'luck.' It sounds similar to 'lys' and 'lyse,' and 'light' can be associated with happiness, leading to potential confusion.
'Lykke' refers to a state of being happy or good fortune. 'Lys' refers to brightness.
Jeg ønsker deg lykke til! (I wish you good luck!) / Hun stråler av lykke. (She beams with happiness.)
