Not only … also
Add information with ikke bare … men også.
Not only … also
Use ikke bare … men også to add a second idea: Dugnad gir ikke bare et pent miljø, men også nye venner.
The rule, step by step
- The pattern means not only … but also. The second part adds a related point.
- Keep the parts parallel: two nouns, adjectives or verb phrases with the same role.
- Start with simple items such as norsk and engelsk, then expand to fuller ideas.

| Bokmål | Meaning or use |
|---|---|

| ikke bare billig, men også praktisk | Two adjectives |
| ikke bare leser, men også skriver | Two verbs |
