Strong verbs.\u00a0 Unfortunately, as I mentioned previously, you cannot tell by looking at a verb if it is sterk <\/strong>or svak.\u00a0 <\/strong>Additionally, there isn’t exactly\u00a0an easy way to learn the past tense of sterke verber<\/strong>; memorization is the only answer.\u00a0 Unlike svake verber, sterke verber <\/strong>do not follow any kind of pattern.\u00a0 Isn’t it interesting to think about how all of these words came to be?\u00a0 Did someone decide that there were going to be 2 different ”classes” of verbs and that one would follow a pattern and the other class wouldn’t?\u00a0 The history of the evolution of the Norwegian language probably has enough content for another dozen posts, so I’ll end my curiosity there for now.\u00a0 Back to sterke verber…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The following is a list of sterke verber <\/strong>in the infinitive and the past tenses (as with svake verber, sterke verber <\/strong>receive an ‘r’ after the stem in the present tense…more on this later).\u00a0 Notice the forskjeller <\/strong>(differences) between the infinitiv<\/strong> and the preteritum-<\/strong>lots of vowel changes in the stem.<\/p>\n

Again, there is no rhyme or rhythm to this sterk verb <\/strong>madness.\u00a0 The only thing you might have noticed that seems like a pattern is with the words st\u00e5r <\/strong>and forst\u00e5r, <\/strong>in which the vowels in the stems both changed to ‘o’ and there is a ‘d’ at the end in the preteritum.\u00a0 If the stem is the same (in this case, st\u00e5r<\/strong>), chances are the change will be the same from infinitiv<\/strong> to preteritum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
