Because: fordi
Give a reason with fordi.
Because: fordi
Fordi connects an outcome to its reason. In its subordinate clause ikke precedes the verb: fordi han ikke har tid.
The rule, step by step
- Fordi answers why and introduces a reason with its own subject and verb.
- In a negative reason clause, put ikke before the finite verb: fordi jeg ikke har tid.
- The reason can come first; then invert the main clause. Fordi differs from the result word derfor.
Sentence pattern
fordi + subject + (ikke) + verb
| Bokmål | Meaning or use |
|---|---|
| fordi jeg er syk | because I am ill |
| fordi jeg ikke har tid | because I do not have time |
| Fordi jeg er syk, blir jeg hjemme. | Reason before result |
