🔗 Long and short vowels - writing rules 🎬
In Norwegian we distinguish between long and short vowels. The rule is that words with one consonant after the vowel have a long vowel sound, and words with two consonants after the vowel have a short vowel sound.
It is important to learn the difference because the words change their meaning if you pronounce the vowel sound incorrectly.
Short "æ" is almost often written with "e".
Listen and repeat the words below:
| Long æ sound | Short æ sound |
be r e | ve rr e |
dear | kje rr e |
he r | hey |
fæ r e | færr e |
