Grammatikk:
In norwegian the possessive goes before the noun (in the definite form):
my holiday/vacation = ferien min
The possessive is sometimes put before the noun (in the indefinite form) for emphasis
my holiday/vacation = min ferie
In Norwegian, adjectives are always written in lower case
Moroccan = marokkansk
