Template:no-noun-infl


This template predates the current practice of having separate sections for Bokmål and Nynorsk (see Wiktionary:About Norwegian), and should be updated or split into separate templates for Bokmål and Nynorsk. See e.g. {{nb-noun-n1}} and {{nn-noun-n1}} for alternative templates that are up-to-date.


This template makes a table with declensions of Norwegian nouns. It can produce up to four rows in the table, two Bokmål declensions and two Nynorsk declensions, or any combinations of these rows.

This template contains the necessary meta-data to allow users who are using accelerated editing to create any grammatical forms semi-automatically.

The possible declension classes are given in the tables below.

Parameters

For the parameters that are common to Bokmål and Nynorsk, the prefixes nb- and nn- should be added in front of the listed Bokmål and Nynorsk forms, respectively, if the verb is to be conjugated in both Bokmål and Nynorsk. E. g. {{{nb-ds}}}, {{{nn-ds}}}. Otherwise, they are optional. If a form is common, there is no need to use the prefix. For the alternative classes, such as {{{nb-class2}}}, use e.g. {{{nb-ds-2}}}

  • {{{ds}}}: The definite singular
  • {{{ds2}}}: Alternative definite singular
  • {{{ip}}}: The indefinite plural
  • {{{ip2}}}: Alternative indefinite plural
  • {{{dp}}}: Definite plural
  • {{{dp2}}}: Alternative definite plural
  • {{{g}}}: gender

Nynorsk only parameters

  • {{{ds-bracket}}}: Definite singular bracket form (klammeform)
  • {{{ip-bracket}}}: Indefinite plural bracket form
