Prepositions of Instrument, also known as instrumental prepositions, in Norwegian language are used to express “with” or “using” to indicate the instrument or means by which an action is performed. This is a fundamental aspect of Norwegian grammar that contributes to the formation of comprehensive and contextually accurate sentences. Often, “med” is the preposition used in these circumstances, but it’s also important to get familiar with how it can dynamically change depending on the sentence structure or context.
