Grammar on one page: tables with coloured endings that you can print or save on your phone.
Norwegian verbs table (present, past and perfect)
All four groups of regular verbs and the 40 most common irregular verbs on one page. The coloured part is what you need to learn: the ending or the vowel that changes.

Norwegian pronouns table (personal, possessive and reflexive)
Every pronoun you need for everyday Norwegian in two tables. Watch the coloured «seg»: it is only used in the third person.

Norwegian possessives table (min, mi, mitt, mine)
The possessive changes with the noun it belongs to, and it normally comes after a noun in the definite form: bilen min. Here are all the forms, the word order and the difference between sin and hans.
A1-A2
Norwegian nouns table (en, ei, et, singular and plural)
Every noun has four forms: indefinite and definite, singular and plural. The word for «the» is an ending: bil, bilen. Ei words can also take the en endings: boka or boken.
A1-A2
Norwegian adjectives table (stor, stort, store and comparison)
