trenge
Verb of the week: trenge
Hei alle sammen!
Another week, another verb. This time the verb is "å trenge", "to need,
to require". It can also mean "to push" or "to force", especially when
used with propositions like "inn", "ut", "opp", "ned", etc.
å trenge = to need (infinitive form)
den trenger = it needs (present tense)
den trengte = it needed (past tense)
den har trengt = it has needed (past participle)
"den" means "it [common gender]".
La oss prøve dette verbet:
