2.17 More About Adverbs of Location and Motion
Sometimes, two adverbs of location or motion can be used at the same time.
Location: |
Jeg er her ute. Jeg bor der borte. Jeg blir der oppe. |
(I am out here.) (I am living over there.) (I will stay up there.) |
Motion: |
Jeg kommer hit ut. Jeg reiser dit bort. Jeg kjører dit opp. |
(I am coming out here.) (I am traveling over there.) (I am driving up there.) |
If motion is described with a helping verb like “må” or “skal,” and an adverb like “ut” or “opp”, the main verb can be omitted from the sentence.
| Jeg skal gå ut. → | Jeg skal ut. | (I am going outside.) |
| Jeg må reise hjem. → | Jeg må hjem. | (I must go home.) |
| Jeg skal kjøre dit. → | Jeg skal dit. | (I am going there.) |
