Although: selv om
Express an unexpected contrast with selv om.
Although: selv om
Selv om introduces a contrast and a subordinate clause, where ikke precedes the verb: Selv om hun ikke var rolig, svarte hun tydelig.
The rule, step by step
- Selv om links a situation to an unexpected outcome: rain, but we went out.
- The selv om clause is subordinate, so ikke comes before its finite verb.
- When it comes first, follow it with a comma and the main-clause verb before its subject.
Sentence pattern
Selv om + subject + … , verb + subject + …
| Bokmål | Meaning or use |
|---|---|
| Selv om det regner, går vi ut. | Although it is raining, we go out. |
| Vi går ut selv om det regner. | Main clause first |
| selv om hun ikke er ferdig | although she is not finished |
Everyday examples
Selv om det regner, går vi en tur.
Although it is raining, we go for a walk.
Hun kommer selv om hun ikke har tid.
She is coming although she does not have time.
Selv om jeg er trøtt, lager jeg middag.
Although I am tired, I make dinner.
A common error or a difference in meaning
Selv om det regner, vi går en tur.
Selv om det regner, går vi en tur.
The whole selv om clause is the first constituent, so går precedes vi in the main clause.
