This is the 10th most frequent Norwegian word.
å
"Å" in Norwegian means "to" (used before verbs in the infinitive).
Here, 'å' introduces the infinitive form of the verb 'lese'.
Jeg liker å lese.
I like to read.
In this case, 'å' is an interjection expressing emotion, similar to 'Oh' in English.
Å, det var en overraskelse!
Oh, that was a surprise!
Here, 'å' is used to indicate the infinitive form of the verb 'forstå', functioning as the subject of the sentence.
