The system currently offers 32 types of feedback messages, where a 'type' includes instantiations for various genders, persons, genders, etc. The following list provides a sample message for each type, together with an example of a sentence that would prompt the message in question, and a sentence representing the 'correct' version. A link to a page describing the phenomenon in question is also provided.
The word "jeg" is marked with the wrong case, try using "meg" instead.
*“Du liker jeg” - - "Du liker meg." Personal pronouns in Norwegian
The word "og" is not the infinitival marker, try using "å" instead.
*“Jeg prøver og komme.” - - "Jeg prøver å komme." Sentence syntax - Norwegian , Infinitives in Norwegian
The word "å" is not a conjunction, try using "og" instead.
*“Ola å Per kommer.” - - “Ola og Per kommer.” Coordination marking in Norwegian, Sentence syntax - Norwegian
The reflexive pronoun "seg" does not match the number and gender of the word it refers back to. Try using "meg"
*”Jeg skammer seg.” - - ”Jeg skammer meg.” Reflexives - Norwegian, Verb Complementation - Norwegian
The sentence lacks subject-verb inversion.
*“Imorgen jeg kommer.” - - "Imorgen kommer jeg.” Subject-Verb Inversion in Norwegian
The sentence contains an incorrect subject-verb inversion.
*“Kommer jeg snart.” - - “Jeg kommer snart.” Subject-Verb Inversion in Norwegian
The word "like" is in infinitive, but should be put in past or present tense.
“Jeg like fisken.” - - “Jeg liker fisken.” Sentence syntax - Norwegian, Infinitives in Norwegian
The word "gikk" is in the past tense, but should be in infinitive.
*“Jeg prøvde å gikk.” - - Jeg prøvde å gå.” Sentence syntax - Norwegian, Infinitives in Norwegian
The word "hus" is of neuter gender, not masculine.
*“Husen er gult.” - - “Huset er gult.” Gender in Norwegian nouns
The adjective "gult" is conjugated as neuter gender, but modifies a masculine or feminine noun.
*“En gult bil stod her.” - - “En gul bil stod her.”
The adjective "gul" is conjugated as singular, but modifies a plural noun.
*“De gul bilene står her.” - - “De gule bilene står her.”
The adjective "gul" is conjugated as an indefinite, but modifies a definite noun.
*“Den gul bilen står her.” - - “Den gule bilen står her.”
The adjective "gul" should agree with the masculine or feminine noun it modifies.
*“En gult bil stod her.” - - “En gul bil stod her.”
The verb "prøvde" must be followed by the infinitive marker "å".
*“Jeg prøvde komme.” - - “Jeg prøvde å komme.”
The verb "så" should not be followed by the infinitive marker "å".
*”Gutten så meg å komme” - - ”Gutten så meg komme”
There should always be a verb in the sentence. Try using "er" or "var" before the phrase "snill".
*“Hun snill.” - - Hun er snill.”
Past perfective tense requires an auxiliary verb "å ha" in addition to the past participle "kommet".
*“Jeg kommet.” - - Jeg har kommet.”
Passive mode voice requires an auxiliary verb "å bli" in addition to the past participle "skutt".
*“Presidenten skutt.” - - “Presidenten ble skutt.”
In main clauses, sentential adverbs, such as "ikke", must generally be placed directly after the verb, before any objects.
*“Jeg spiste fisken ikke.” - - “Jeg spiste ikke fisken.”
The verb " fortærer " requires an object.
*“Jeg fortærer.” - - “Jeg fortærer biffen.”
The verb "traff" requires a subject, like all finite verbs in Norwegian.
*“Traff Peter.” - - “Vi traff Peter.”
The verb "skammer" requires a reflexive object.
*“Jeg skammer.” - - “Jeg skammer meg.”
A possessive "s" (without an apostrophe) is required after "Ola" to specify a possessive relation.
*“Ola hus er gult.” - - “Olas hus er gult.”
The noun following the verb "liker" should not be introduced by a preposition.
*“Jeg liker på Ola.” - - “Jeg liker Ola.”
The noun following the verb "stole" should always be introduced by a preposition.
*“Jeg stoler Ola.” - - “Jeg stoler på Ola.”
The word "sammen" should not be followed by "med" in this context.
*“Vi går sammen med.” - - “Vi går sammen.”
The verb "oppføre (seg)" requires that the object is not followed by "selv".
*“Ola oppfører seg selv pent.” - - “Ola oppfører seg pent.”
Countable indefinite nouns, such as "gutt", are normally preceded by a determiner.
*“Gutt sover.” - - “En gutt sover.”
A singular noun which is modified by an adjective, such as "snill", should have a determiner preceding the adjective.
*“Snill gutt sover.” - - “En snill gutt sover.”
A definite noun which is modified by an adjective, such as "snille", should have a determiner preceding the adjective.
*“Snille gutten sover.” - - "Den snille gutten sover.”
The determiner "et" must have the same gender, number and definiteness as the noun it modifies.
*“Et mann sover.” - - “En mann sover.”
The verb form "gået" is a wrongly conjugated form of a strong verb. Refer to a dictionary for the appropriate conjugation.
*”Gutten gået.” - - "Gutten gikk."
The verb form “ropet" is a wrongly conjugated form of a "te"-verb, following the same pattern as "spise”
*”Gutten ropet.” - - ”Gutten ropte.”
The form "sin" is a third person reflexive pronoun, and can only be used with an antecedent. Try using "hans", "hennes", "dens" or "dets" instead.
*”Gutten sin sover.” - - ”Gutten hans sover.”
