Contrasts with snarere and framfor
Refine an interpretation or express a preference precisely.
Contrasts with snarere and framfor
Snarere means rather and refines an idea. Framfor expresses a preference: forklare behovene framfor å forsvare standpunktene. Use å before the infinitive here.
The rule, step by step
- Snarere can mean rather when refining an interpretation: not a money problem, but a time problem.
- Framfor can express preference over an alternative. Compare parallel nouns or infinitives.
- The functions differ: one reinterprets an idea, while the other expresses a choice between alternatives.
Sentence pattern
ikke A, men snarere B · A framfor B
| Bokmål | Meaning or use |
