Exclamatory sentences in Norwegian grammar, like in many other languages, are used to express strong emotion or surprise. They can be easily recognized as they often end with an exclamation mark (!). Exclamatory sentences in Norwegian can be formed by placing the verb before the subject, though this is not a hard and fast rule and some exclamatory sentences do not follow this structure.
