If you thought thoroughly about the facts presented on the previous page, you
might have noticed that the object forms of the pronouns in English
don't appear only in the function of object, but also after
prepositions:
- to me (not "to I")
- from us (not "from we")
- between them (not "between they")
- for her (not "for she")
This is the case in Norwegian too. So we should learn the
prepositions now!
We have already seen several of them in this tutorial. Here is a more
complete (but definitely not entirely complete) list:
in |
i |
on/at |
på |
to |
til |
from |
fra |
over |
over |
under |
under |
between |
mellom |
with |
med |
without |
uten |
in front of |
foran |
behind |
bak |
|
As stated, the pronouns take their object form after any of these,
for instance:
- til meg (to me)
- fra oss (from us)
- mellom dem (between them)
- for henne (for her)
But a noun after a preposition stays the same:
- i huset (in the house)
- med den store ballen (with the big ball)
