Conditional clauses
Link a condition to its result with hvis or dersom.
Conditional clauses
Hvis or dersom introduces a condition. When the condition comes first, the main verb precedes its subject: Hvis det regner, blir vi hjemme. Dersom is common in formal writing; ikke precedes the verb inside the condition.
The rule, step by step
- Hvis and dersom introduce a condition. Dersom is also common in formal writing.
- The condition has subordinate order: Hvis du ikke kommer … . The result is a main clause.
- After an initial condition, invert the main clause. Hypothetical conditions can use past forms and ville.
Sentence pattern
Hvis / Dersom + subject + … , verb + subject
| Bokmål | Meaning or use |
|---|---|
| Hvis det regner, blir vi inne. | Possible condition |
| Vi blir inne hvis det regner. | Result first |
| Hvis jeg hadde tid, ville jeg komme. | Hypothetical condition |
Everyday examples
Hvis det regner, blir vi hjemme.
If it rains, we will stay home.
Dersom du ikke har billett, må du kjøpe en.
If you do not have a ticket, you must buy one.
Hvis du ikke finner nøkkelen, kan du ringe meg.
If you cannot find the key, you can call me.
A common error or a difference in meaning
Hvis det regner, vi blir hjemme.
Hvis det regner, blir vi hjemme.
The initial hvis clause is the first constituent, so blir precedes vi in the main clause.
