The dummy subject det
Use det when there is no specific subject.
The dummy subject det
Use det when talking about weather: Det regner. With an adjective: Det er kaldt.
The rule, step by step
- Norwegian usually requires an expressed subject. Weather statements use det.
- Use er with a weather adjective: Det er kaldt. A weather verb gives Det regner.
- After an initial time phrase, retain det after the verb: I dag er det kaldt.
Sentence pattern
Det + regner / er kaldt
| Bokmål | Meaning or use |
|---|---|
| Det regner. | It is raining. |
| Det er varmt. | It is warm. |
| I dag snør det. | It is snowing today. |
Everyday examples

A common error or a difference in meaning
Er kaldt i dag.
Det er kaldt i dag.
Er kaldt lacks the dummy subject. Use Det er kaldt.
