Du har også ei jente OR Du også har ei jente
Hallo!

I'm having a lot of trouble building sentences in Norwegian. I can understand most of the stuff (A1-A2) but I always mix up the word order. In a test I wrote "Du også har ei jente"; it was incorrect. Why is the correct answer "Du har også ei jente"?

Can someone explain the word order in Norwegian when building a sentence?

Ha det bra!

Answer

In Norwegian the subject and the verb are next to each other. That's why "you also have" becomes "you have also" in Norwegian. Hope this helps.
