Interrogative pronouns, or question words, are used to ask questions. They are essential tools in any language and Norwegian is no different. In Norwegian, you’ll come across interrogative pronouns such as “hva” (what), “hvem” (who), “hvor” (where), “hvorfor” (why), “hvilken” (which), and “hvordan” (how). Understanding and correctly using these words can open up your ability to interact more fully in Norwegian, allowing you to gather information and engage in more in-depth conversations.
