O and I? In swedish we only have en and ett and norwegian has a third one but what the hell are o and i? Im not very good with swedish yet(im an immigrant) but could you explain what o and i do? I dont think swedish has this tho.
They are dialects, mostly. In parts of western norway, -o is used for singular feminine words, for example: “stuo” (instead of “stua” (“the living room”)). Similarly, -i is used in parts of central Norway, for example: “boki” (instead of “boka” (“the book”)). I’m not sure if these are accepted in “correct” written form of nynorsk, but it is commonly used in spoken and written dialects.
Huh, I was not aware that “stuga” is swedish for “cottage”. In norwegian, cottage would be:
Hytte, hytta/hytto/hytti, hytter, hyttene.
I could include genitive as well, but it’s just adding an -s to each form.
Norwegian: -en, -a, -et (suffixes)
But also -o, -i and probably other variations depending on location.

In Swedish, (apparently) Hytta is a house with a Furnace, like a forge.
