| Cultural Insight |
| Michael: Now it's time for a quick language tip. |
| Inger: Unlike English, nationalities are written with a lowercase letter in Norwegian. The rule for the plural is very simple, you just add -e at the end of the singular form. The same goes for other types of adjectives for example søt, "sweet," in the plural becomes søte. |
