Three verbs may translate as know, but each expresses a different kind of knowledge or ability.
Vite for information
Use vite for information or an answer, often with an indirect question such as where or when. Knowing someone’s schedule differs from being personally acquainted with them.
Jeg vet når kurset begynner.
I know when the course starts.
Kjenne for familiarity
Use kjenne for acquaintance with people or familiarity with places. It can express feelings or sensations in other contexts. Knowing a person’s name does not necessarily mean you kjenner ham.
Jeg kjenner læreren, men jeg vet ikke hvor hun bor.
I know the teacher, but I do not know where she lives.
Kunne for skill or ability
Kunne expresses ability, with kan in the present. A following infinitive has no å in the modal construction. Kan can also express possibility or permission depending on context.
Jeg kan svømme, og jeg kan snakke litt norsk.
Ability to swim and speak, not just knowledge of a fact.
Try it yourself
Choose the appropriate verb for knowing a person, knowing an address and being able to drive. Write three personal examples.
