Adjectival Agreement in Norwegian grammar refers to how adjectives must agree with the noun they’re describing. This means that they must match the gender (feminine, masculine, or neuter), number (singular or plural), and definiteness (definite or indefinite) of the noun. The endings of the adjectives change mainly based on the gender of the noun. Understanding and applying this agreement correctly is an essential part of mastering Norwegian language and its grammatical structures.
