Norwegian Personal Pronouns
Written by Peder B. Helland
We have learned some basic Norwegian vocabulary and grammar in the previous lessons, but we don't know how to make a sentence in Norwegian yet. Let's change that. Before we are able to make any sentences, it's important that we learn the Norwegian personal pronouns. In this lesson you will learn what a personal pronoun is and what the Norwegian personal pronouns are.
Norwegian personal pronouns
Easy explanation: personal pronouns are words we use to describe people instead of using their names. Examples of this in the English language are: I, you, he, she, me and so on. Below you can see two tables of the personal pronouns in Norwegian, both as subjects and objects.

Object
