kunnskapene

Kunnskapene is the definite plural form of the Norwegian noun kunnskap, meaning knowledge. The term translates roughly to "the knowledges" and is used when referring to multiple bodies of knowledge, domains, or pieces of information.

In Bokmål, the definite plural is formed with the suffix -ene. Kunnskapene is commonly used in formal or written Norwegian to indicate several distinct areas of knowledge, such as science, culture, and history, rather than a single overarching knowledge.

The plural form emphasizes plurality and specificity of what is known, rather than the act of knowing. In everyday speech, speakers may use kunnskap or phrases like kunnskapen to refer to knowledge more generally.
