A lending, on this reading, has a Lender, a Recipient, and a Theme. Bokmålsordboka’s sense 4 is la noen få bruke noe en viss tid. NAOB’s sense 2 is overlate til midlertidig bruk, and the entry adds også med partikkelen ut. The time wording is the definition’s. This page quotes it and does not turn it into an aspect claim. The thing is the object: en tier, sykkelen sin, penger, båtene sine, et sådant værk, en million kroner. Full noun phrases show no case ending. The other person, on the give reading, is a bare object pronoun or til plus a noun phrase: meg, henne, dem, mig, deg, til tyrken, til folk. Voice adds the lender as the subject. Low ApplHAVE introduces the Recipient inside that one verb domain and relates the Recipient to the Theme. The drawing is the same working claim as the Recipient of English give-geometry pay, and it is revisable. On betale a Recipient is unprinted. Which theta role is the object in this low ApplHAVE domain is the note Causative templates and argument selection. This page does not edit that note.
Where the frame sits against the English gloss. English lend does not mean borrow. The lender is the subject. The recipient is a bare object (lend Chris the car) or a to-phrase (lend the car to Chris). The borrower is the subject of another verb, and the source is from. låne keeps both directions on one lemma. Bokmålsordboka numbers the get reading as sense 1, få noe til bruk en viss tid, and the give reading as sense 4. NAOB numbers the get reading as sense 1, få seg overlatt til midlertidig bruk, and the give reading as sense 2. A bare object pronoun, or til, is the give frame. av is the person on the get frame. The lemma stays låne. Dutch lenen makes the same kind of cut, with aan or a bare indirect object against van. German leihen keeps both directions and adds a reflexive dative on the borrow frame. No borrow citation of the returnable thing read here is reflexive. fra is printed, and the complements in those lines are a word, a domain, a digit, or an institution. A person in fra is unprinted in Bokmålsordboka, in NAOB’s returnable-thing lines, and in Språkrådet’s pair.
The bare object pronoun is printed, and the dictionaries give it no colloquial label and no regional label. Bokmålsordboka’s sense 4 example is kan du låne meg en tier? NAOB’s editorial example under sense 2.3 is banken lånte henne en million kroner til boligkjøpet. The citations are Ibsen frøken West lånte mig et sådant værk, Michelet Hermann lånte dem en hel haug pesetas, Lunde la meg få låne deg morgenkåpen min, and Aubert kan du låne meg noen penger. The printed bare forms are pronouns. A bare full noun phrase in the meg slot is unprinted. The full noun phrase that is printed sits in til: til tyrken, til folk, and, for a name lent to an appeal, til et opprop.
ut and bort sit on låne, and the examples are give. They are particles of this lemma. Bokmålsordboka prints bankene låner ut penger and hun lånte bort sykkelen sin under sense 4. The adverb bort, sense 4, is fra én persons eie til en annen person, and låne bort noe is one example, beside leie bort. NAOB’s låne article, as read, prints ut and does not print bort. The finite order in the lines is verb, then the particle, then the object: låner ut penger, lånte bort sykkelen sin. Jacobsen has the negation between the verb and the particle: låner ikke ut båtene sine, and til folk names the person. Dutch uitlenen is a separate lemma and is lend-only. Norwegian ut does not open a second lemma. The get-side particle NAOB prints is inn, on låne inn.
Places · who wears which marking
Bokmålsordboka, NAOB, and Språkrådet do not put a lender, a recipient, a thing, and a source in one clause. Sense 4 and NAOB sense 2 are the lend frame. Sense 1 is the borrow frame of that lemma. ut and bort are the lend particles. Pat and Chris continue the named-participant series on selge. A name does not spell case. til Chris and av Chris are the prepositions. The time wording in the definitions is quoted and is not given an aspect label.

Marking map. One string til is the Recipient when the complement is the person or the appeal, and it is the rate or the purpose in other printed lines. Read the complement, then the preposition. av is the person-source. fra is the other source preposition, and its printed complements are not that person.
Subject. The subject of Bokmålsordboka sense 4, and of the ut and bort examples, hands the thing over. The subject of sense 1 takes it. A line of låne with only a theme does not spell the direction by itself. låne penger and låne bøker på biblioteket are the get sense. kan du låne meg en tier? is the give sense. The pronoun, til, av, or the particle, when the clause has one, is what the examples use to separate the frames.
Object of the Theme. Bokmålsordboka: en tier, sykkelen sin, penger, bøker, bilen, navnet sitt. NAOB: en bok, båtene sine, et sådant værk, morgenkåpen min, en million kroner, noen penger, noen kroner. The object is the thing whose use is transferred. A sum in that slot is one object. til boligkjøpet and til tilbaketuren are purpose phrases beside that object.
Bare object pronoun of the Recipient, and til. Bokmålsordboka: meg and til et opprop. NAOB: til tyrken, mig, henne, dem, deg, meg, and til folk on the particle line. meg, deg, henne, dem, and Ibsen’s mig are object-form pronouns. They do not spell a dative ending. The two cloths stay unranked. Pat låner boken til Chris and Kan du låne meg boken? are constructed on those two cloths. A bare Chris in the meg slot is unprinted and is not constructed.
av of the person-source, and hos, på, i. Bokmålsordboka: av moren sin, på biblioteket. NAOB: av Bernhard, på biblioteket, i banken, and Bernt Lie låne kokkepiken hos Foksens. Språkrådet: av/ hos broren min, with hos marked muntlig stil. hos is not ranked against av. på and i are places. Pat låner boken av Chris is constructed on the av frame.
fra. Bokmålsordboka sense 2: ordet er lånt fra engelsk, bandet låner elementer fra jazzen. Sense 3, subtraction: låne fra tallet foran. NAOB sense 3: ordet «universitet» er lånt fra latin, skikken er lånt fra keltisk kultur. The låne inn definition has fra annen (kultur)institusjon. Those complements are a language, a domain, a digit, and an institution. Språkrådet’s person pair is av and hos. A person after fra is unprinted here and is not constructed as a filled frame.
ut, bort, and inn. The give examples leave the person out or add til. bankene låner ut penger and hun lånte bort sykkelen sin name the thing and no person. Jacobsen and Ibsen name the person in til. NAOB’s money heading repeats også med partikkelen ut on sense 2.3, beside the bare-pronoun example banken lånte henne en million kroner. The particle is optional in that sense, and the entry does not rank the particle against the pronoun. låne inn is the get-side particle. The two examples are låne inn et maleri til en utstilling and låne inn en bok til biblioteket. That til is the place the work comes into. Rent stays on leie ut / leie bort. On that page a person in til is unprinted. On låne it is printed.
Interest. NAOB sense 1.1 prints låne penger til høy rente on the get frame. Ibsen, in sense 2.3, has modtage renter af en udlaant sum. The rate wording sits in til or in renter af. No line stacks a numeral rate with the Recipient and the Theme as a further sister. The sum in the object slot stays the Theme. The rate wording is not given a seat. til høy rente is not the Recipient’s til.
Off this frame. Bokmålsordboka’s fixed expression låne øre til is høre velvillig på. på lånt tid is the little time that remains. NAOB’s låne øre, låne min hånd til, and låne sig til are attention, help, and lending oneself. låne navnet sitt til et opprop and Ibsen’s dit navn are the supportive name. Sense 2.1 and 2.2 are a glance and a literary bestowal. Sense 3 is a word or a custom. Sense 3 of Bokmålsordboka is the subtraction digit. Those stay off the returnable theme. The reflexive låne sig til is availability. It is not the borrow frame. Rent stays on leie ut.

Examples
Argument difference. English lend X to Y does not mean borrow. Pat lent Chris the car and Pat borrowed the car from Chris are two verbs. The recipient of lend is a bare object or to. The source of borrow is from. låne is one lemma. The give frame has the lender as subject, the thing as object, and the other person as a bare object pronoun or as til. The get frame has the borrower as subject and the person as av. Språkrådet also prints hos and labels it muntlig stil. fra is the source of a word, a domain, a digit, or an institution in the lines read, and it is unprinted for that person. ut and bort are lend particles on the same lemma. Dutch lenen uses aan or a bare indirect object against van, and uitlenen is a separate lend-only lemma. German leihen uses a dative Recipient and a reflexive dative plus von or bei on the borrow frame. Norwegian prints no dative ending and no reflexive on the returnable-thing borrow lines. Rent is leie ut, unlike 貸す.

One lemma · a pronoun or til · av of the person · two lend particles
The preposition is an operation on a place the clause already has. A particle ut or bort is an operation on the verb. Neither one adds a second English verb by itself. The lemma stays låne.
A bare object pronoun and til. The recipient of the give frame is a bare object pronoun, or til plus a noun phrase. Bokmålsordboka prints meg. NAOB prints henne, meg, mig, dem, deg, and til tyrken. til Chris is the same til, constructed. English spells the same role as a bare object or as to. Full Norwegian noun phrases show no case ending. The pronoun has no dative ending. The two clothes stay unranked, as the two buyer clothes stay unranked on selge. The dictionaries print the pronoun with no colloquial label and no regional label.
av on the same låne. Sense 1 does not change the lemma. av moren sin, av Bernhard, and av broren min are the person. hos is Språkrådet’s spoken alternate and is not ranked against av. på biblioteket and i banken are places. Dutch leaves both directions on lenen and uses van. German adds a reflexive dative and von or bei. No borrow line of the returnable thing read here has seg. låne sig til is the availability reading.
The particles are ut and bort. Bokmålsordboka prints låner ut penger and lånte bort sykkelen sin. NAOB prints låner ikke ut båtene sine and Ibsen’s hus ud, and the sense heading says også med partikkelen ut. The short examples leave the person out. Jacobsen and Ibsen still name til folk. inn is the particle on låne inn. The inflection of the simple verb, in Bokmålsordboka’s table, is å låne, låner, lånte, har lånt, lån! NAOB’s moderat bokmål is preterite lånte, participle lånt. There is no ge-. V2 puts one phrase in front of the finite verb. The particle stays with the verb phrase: ikke separates låner from ut in the Jacobsen line. A perfect har lånt ut is unprinted in the lines read. Ibsen’s attributive udlaant sum is the entry’s older spelling of the participle.
A låne line with only a theme does not grow a direction out of the verb. The dictionaries file such lines under a numbered sense. låne penger is the get sense. låne ut penger is the give sense. fra does not take over the person-source that av has. That preposition split is the cut van makes with one preposition for the person, and it is the cut von or bei makes beside a reflexive.
Derivations · working sketches, revisable
Each sketch is a working drawing, not a locked analysis. The point of the drawing is one object Theme, a Recipient that is a bare object pronoun or til, a person-source on the same låne that is av, and ut or bort on the lend examples. Open one sketch at a time. The low ApplHAVE claim is the same working claim as on pay, and it stays revisable. On betale a Recipient is unprinted.

On the lend frame, the recipient comes to HAVE the thing, or the sum, for the stretch the definitions describe and this page does not label. On betale, the object can be the money and for is Consideration. On låne a money object is the Theme. On leie ut the lemma is another verb, and a person in til is unprinted there. On 貸す the paid reading stays on the lend verb.
Notes
Working paper · October 2026 · Norwegian micro-entry · Beyond Index 2
Temporary transfer in Bokmål. One lemma låne. Lender or borrower as subject. Theme the one object. Recipient a bare object pronoun or til. Person-source av. fra is a word, a domain, a digit, or an institution in the lines read. ut and bort are lend particles on the same lemma. Rent is leie ut.

Sense × language: lend · Norwegian (låne). The returnable-theme sense is the page. The ear, the hand, the supportive name, the subtraction digit, and the linguistic reading stay off that frame, except where fra of a word shows which source preposition is printed. Not given a page here: låne ut, låne bort, låne inn. No English lend hub. Geometry neighbors: lend · lenen · lend · leihen · rent · leie ut · sell · selge · payGIVE · betale. Index 2 Norwegian Transfer cites bytte; gi — not låne.
Working paper.
Norwegian micro-entry, Bokmål. The frames were read in Bokmålsordboka under låne and under the adverb bort, in NAOB under låne, and in Språkrådet’s preposition list. The Recipient is a low ApplHAVE argument, a working claim shared with English pay on this site, and it is revisable.
Constructed examples.
Dictionary lines are marked as printed. Pat låner boken til Chris, Kan du låne meg boken?, Pat låner boken av Chris, and Pat låner ut boken are marked constructed. No frame is starred.
Arity.
Index 2 does not list låne. Surface count can name a subject, a bare pronoun or a til-phrase or an av-phrase, and a theme. The lexicon does not list four co-arguments of one flat V. Voice adds the subject. On the lend frame, low ApplHAVE adds the Recipient. The root takes the Theme. av is the person-source of the get frame. ut and bort are particles, not further sisters. Rate wording is not a further sister in the lines read.
What this page does not do.
It does not open låne ut, låne bort, or låne inn as pages. It does not open an English page of lend. The ear, the hand, the supportive name, the subtraction digit, and the linguistic reading stop at the non-transfer senses, apart from the fra complements quoted with them. The rent frames stay on leie ut. The Dutch frames stay on lenen. The German frames stay on leihen.
Hierarchy
Not a flat grid of four sisters. A flat grid would give låne a Recipient, a Source, a Theme, and a rate in one clause. The entries read here do not print that clause. låne shows one object, the Theme, and one other party: a bare object pronoun or til when the subject lends, av when the subject borrows from a person.
en million kroner = one object. The sum sits in the theme slot. til boligkjøpet is the purpose in that NAOB example. til høy rente and renter af en udlaant sum are rate wordings. They are not a second object beside the sum, and til høy rente is not the Recipient.
What Norwegian shows, against the English gloss lend X to Y, is where the direction lives. English uses lend or borrow. Lend takes a bare recipient or to. Borrow takes from. låne uses one lemma. The give marker is a bare object pronoun or til. The person on the get frame is av. ut and bort are lend particles of that lemma. fra is printed for a word, a domain, a digit, and an institution. Dutch uses van for the person on lenen. German uses a reflexive and von or bei.
Geometry · låne beside the live roots
In [jeg] låner pengene til tyrken, the speaker hands over the money. In hun lånte bilen av moren sin, the subject takes the car from her mother. The definitions name a stretch of use. This page quotes that wording and does not add an aspect label.
English lend and borrow. Two verbs. Lend takes the lender as subject and a bare Recipient or to. Borrow takes the borrower as subject and from. No English page is opened. The Norwegian match of both verbs is låne. The match of the bare Recipient is an object pronoun. The match of to is til. The match of from a person, on the returnable thing, is av.
lenen. One lemma, and the other human’s marker selects the direction: aan or a bare indirect object, or van. uitlenen is a separate lemma and is lend-only. On ontlenen, aan marks the Source. låne is that kind of one-lemma verb. The Norwegian markers are a bare object pronoun or til, and av. til does not flip to the person-source of the get frame. ut stays on låne.
leihen. Both directions on one lemma. The lend frame is a dative Recipient and an accusative Theme. The borrow frame is a reflexive dative and von or bei. an + accusative is unprinted on leihen. Norwegian prints til for a full noun phrase and an object pronoun with no dative ending. The borrow lines of the returnable thing have no reflexive.
pożyczyć and kölcsönöz. Polish uses one lemma and a bare dative against od plus genitive. Hungarian kölcsönad is lender-side and separates kölcsön. kölcsönöz is one lemma: dative on the lend sense, ablative of a person or elative of a place on the borrow sense. Norwegian av does not split person and place the way those Hungarian cases do. på of a library and i of a bank are further printed phrases.
leie ut and 貸す. Japanese prints lend and the paid reading on one lemma. Norwegian prints lend on låne and rent on leie ut / leie. Both Norwegian verbs print ut and bort. On leie ut a person in til is unprinted. On lånetil folk and til tyrken are printed.
selge. The buyer is til or bare ham, as NAOB prints them, and the goods are the one object. låne as read here is the temporary transfer. The Recipient cloths are a bare pronoun and til, and this page does not rank them. The printed bare buyer of selge includes ham. The printed bare recipients of låne are the pronouns in the lines above.
betale. Bokmålsordboka and Nynorskordboka print no Recipient: the object is the debt or the amount, and for is what the money is paid for. On låne a money object is the Theme, and the Recipient is a bare object pronoun or til.
Open items
til høy rente. NAOB sense 1.1 prints it on låne penger. Ibsen’s renter af en udlaant sum is the interest on a sum already lent. Neither is seated as a further argument beside Recipient and Theme. A numeral rate beside til of a person is not a dictionary line and is not constructed.
Bare pronoun versus til. Both are printed. Full DPs in the pronoun slot are unprinted. They are not ranked. Kan du låne meg boken? and Pat låner boken til Chris are constructed. They are not cited sentences.
av versus hos, på, and i.av is the person-source in Bokmålsordboka, in NAOB’s av Bernhard, and in Språkrådet. Språkrådet marks hos as muntlig stil. NAOB prints hos Foksens in Bernt Lie with no register label in the lines read. på biblioteket and i banken are places. They are not ranked against av, and they are not stacked with it in one clause read here.
fra of a person. Unprinted in Bokmålsordboka’s person example, in NAOB’s returnable-thing citations, and in Språkrådet’s pair. fra engelsk, fra jazzen, fra latin, fra tallet foran, and fra annen (kultur)institusjon are the printed complements. No person-fra frame is constructed, and none is starred.
bort in NAOB. Bokmålsordboka prints lånte bort sykkelen sin and the adverb example låne bort noe. The NAOB låne article as read prints ut and does not print bort. The two particles are not ranked.
ut sesongen. NAOB sense 1 prints Tollnes har lånt Odd-spilleren ut sesongen. The sense is the get reading. The player is the theme. That ut sesongen is not filed with the particle of låner ut penger.
har lånt ut. Unprinted. The simple perfect in Bokmålsordboka’s table is har lånt. The particle examples are present and preterite. Ibsen’s udlaant sum is attributive.
Pat låner ut boken. Constructed. The attested order is låner ut penger and låner ikke ut båtene sine. The participle-plus-Recipient string is unprinted. Jacobsen’s person is til folk after the boats.
