Pierre's verb of the week
spørre
Verb of the week: spoerre
Hei alle sammen,
Today's verb is "å spørre" (aa spoerre), "to ask, to inquire". It is
not used for "to request"; for that "å be [om]" is the right verb.
å spørre = to ask (infinitive form)
vi spør = we ask (present tense, irregular)
vi spurte = we asked (past tense)
vi har spurt = we have asked (past participle)
"vi" means "we"
La oss prøve dette verbet:
Let us try out this verb:

Was I ever happy! [lit.: Ask if I was happy!]

Jeg har aldri spurt om alderen din.
I have never asked about your age.
Ha det!
Pierre
