vinneren

Vinneren is the definite singular form of the Norwegian noun vinner, meaning “the winner.” It is used in Bokmål Norwegian to refer to a person or team that has won a competition, award, or contest. The form vinneren appears in sentences such as “Vinneren av konkurransen ble kåret i kveld” (The winner of the competition was announced tonight). The indefinite form is simply vinner, and the plural definite form is vinnerne (the winners).

Morphology and etymology are straightforward for Norwegian noun formation. The noun vinner is derived from the verb vinne, meaning to win. The definite singular is formed by adding the suffix -en, yielding vinneren. The singular plural forms follow the standard patterns of Norwegian masculine nouns: vinnerne refers to “the winners.”

Usage notes and context. Vinneren is common in sports reporting, award ceremonies, and general coverage of competitions. It can appear in news articles, summaries, or descriptive passages where the focus is on the person or team that achieved victory. In everyday speech, speakers may also say “han er vinneren” (he is the winner) or simply refer to the winner by name and the title.
