Place prepositions

In Norwegian the prepositions that are most used are bak, foran, over, til, for, under og, ved siden av, which are typical prepositions in connection with place.

Til is the most frequent preposition denoting movement towards a place:
Ben går til kantina.
Skal du dra til Fjordvik i dag?

For and til can be confusing for learners; both have various ways they are used. Til is one of the most common prepositions in Norwegian and often refers to movement in time and space but has many other uses as well.

Hos is used in front of persons in the meaning at his/her place:
De tar en kaffe hos Cecilie.
Så fint det er hos deg, Dina!

We also use Hos when we talk about some occupational groups:
Jeg er hos legen
