Modale verb <\/strong>(modal verbs) are essential to understand, learn, and use norsk.<\/strong>\u00a0 There are 5 modale verb i norsk: kan, vil, skal, m\u00e5, b\u00f8r <\/strong>(can, want, will, must, and should).\u00a0 For eksempel:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeg kan kaste ballen mot veggen <\/strong>(I can throw the ball against the wall).<\/p>\n

Hun vil g\u00e5 p\u00e5 ski i dag <\/strong>(She wants to go skiing today).<\/p>\n

Vi skal lese avisen sammen <\/strong>(We are going to read the paper together).<\/p>\n

De m\u00e5 komme hjem klokka fire <\/strong>(They must come home at 4 o’clock.<\/p>\n

Du b\u00f8r ikke v\u00e6re slem <\/strong>(You should not be mean).<\/p>\n

Modal verbs, like all norske <\/strong>verbs, are not conjugated.\u00a0 There are essentially only two forms each of these 5 verbs come in: present and past.\u00a0 The past tense of these 5 verbs are as follows:<\/p>\n

kunne, ville, skulle, m\u00e5tte, burde. <\/strong><\/p>\n

For eksempel:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jeg kunne ha gjort det bedre <\/strong>(I could have done it better).<\/p>\n

Han ville h\u00f8re p\u00e5 musikk <\/strong>(He wanted to listen to music).<\/p>\n

Vi skulle ha g\u00e5tt p\u00e5 kino <\/strong>(We\u00a0should have\u00a0gone to the movies).<\/p>\n

De m\u00e5tte ta eksamener <\/strong>(They had to take exams).<\/p>\n

Du burde ha v\u00e6rt snill <\/strong>(You should have been nice).<\/p>\n

Modal verbs are important because they set up the tone of a sentence.\u00a0 Can, want, will, must, and should are very different words with very different meanings.\u00a0 These verbs also have the ability to pair up with any other verbs.\u00a0 A very important thing to remember about modal verbs is that the ‘holy a’ \u00e5 <\/strong>is not necessary.\u00a0 I will touch on this in another post, but for now, just remember that \u00e5 <\/strong>is not used in between verbs if the first verb is a modal verb.\u00a0<\/p>\n
