Hei alle sammen,
Here is the next "verb of the week", probably the second most commonly

possess", and it is also used (with a participle) to form the perfect
tense. (e.g. He HAS gone home.)
å ha = to have (infinitive)
hun har = she has (present tense)
hun hadde = she had (simple past tense)
hun har hatt = she has had (past participle)
