Innimellom

Innimellom is a Norwegian adverb meaning occasionally, sometimes, at times. It describes events or actions that occur with irregular frequency rather than on a regular schedule.

The word is a compound of inn and mellom (between) and is written as a single word. The sense of “between times” is metaphorical, referring to occurrences that happen now and then rather than on a fixed interval. It is used in everyday Norwegian and is understood across dialects.

Usage: It can modify verbs and clauses and tends to carry a neutral, conversational tone. It often appears after the subject or at the beginning of a sentence. Examples: Vi møttes innimellom. Det regner innimellom. Hun besøker oss innimellom.

Synonyms and nuances: Common equivalents are av og til and noen ganger. Innimellom emphasizes irregular gaps between events rather than a regular, predictable pattern, and it is widely understood in both formal and informal Norwegian.
