Something is rotten in the state of Norwegian Prepositions. Check-check-check it out!
Examples:
'På fest', 'på byen', 'på bussen', 'på reisefot', 'på gang', 'på flaska', 'på tur', 'på shopping' etc
There are also many situations that can be described by several prepositions, but have small differences in semantic nuances.
Examples:
'I byen' vs. 'På byen'
'I fjellet' vs. 'På fjellet'
'På bussen' vs. 'I bussen'
while some have completely different meanings
Examples:
'På flaska' vs. 'I flaska'

Bevegelsesverb
English - Motion verbs
This category of verbs denote movement, and these movements can be divided into subcategories.
In order to denote movement, we can use either a movement verb or a verb with a preposition. The latter is another story, and you can read about it in the page called 'Preposisjoner'. The scope of the 'Bevegelsesverb' page is to describe verbs denoting -by themselves - some kind of movement.
The following paragraphs suggest how we can divide motion verbs into subcategories:
- The movement can be done voluntarily or nonvoluntarily by the subject of the Pn-S.
- Does the movement denoted have a goal, a path or both? Or is the movement taking place a a spot?
- Come up with more as you desire...
