This is the 58th most frequent Norwegian word.
selv
"Selv" means "self" or "even" in English, depending on context.
In this sentence, the word 'selv' emphasizes that the subject, 'I', is perceiving or understanding something directly or firsthand without external influence.
Jeg ser selv at det er mulig.
I can see myself that it is possible.
Here, 'selv om' is a conjunction meaning 'even though' or 'although', introducing a circumstance that contrasts with the main clause.
Selv om det regner, skal vi gå tur.
Even though it is raining, we will go for a walk.
'Selv' in this case indicates that the subject, 'he', performed the action on his own, emphasizing independence or self-reliance.
