Arguments

Payer, sum, bill, goods, payee, debt · Norwegian Bokmål cloth · working claim, revisable

The payer is the subject. betale has one bare-object slot that the sources fill with the sum, or with the bill, or with the debt, or with the person. NAOB’s schema of sense 1 prints two lines: noen betaler (noen) (noe) (for noe) and noen betaler (noe) (til noen) (for noe). The parentheses are the dictionary’s. One printed clause fills the bare payee, the sum, and for together: vi betalte rørleggeren 5000 kroner for reparasjonen. The bill is a bare object on a different line, betale en regning, and that line prints no sum and no person. A clause that puts the bill beside the sum, or the bill beside the payee, is unprinted on the entries read

Where this frame diverges from English pay a bill. English pay the bill makes the document the one object and brings the sum back as with or in. English pay someone can make the person a bare object. Norwegian betale en regning and betale regningen match the document, and those lines print no sum and no person. The sum is a bare object in other clauses: 5000 kroner, 500 kroner, altfor mye, Nynorskordboka 1000 kr. The goods are for. One clause stacks a bare payee, the sum, and for: vi betalte rørleggeren 5000 kroner for reparasjonen. Another puts the person under til: jeg betalte 500 kroner til henne. A clause that puts the bill beside the sum is unprinted. A for of the bill is unprinted. gjøre opp does not print the bill as an object. The person is med, and in han gjorde op med konen for logiet the particle sits immediately after the finite verb. nedbetale gjeld and avbetale gjeld make the debt the bare object. avbetale på et lån puts the loan under på.

Places · who wears which marking

The subject is the person who pays, when the clause has that subject. The bare object of betale is the sum, or the bill, or the debt, or the person, and the printed clauses do not fill the bill and the sum together. for is the goods. The payee of betale is that bare object or til plus a noun. gjøre opp takes med or for, and the particle sits next to the verb. nedbetale and avbetale take gjeld. på et lån is the other marking of avbetale.

Move English pay someone an amount for something can use two objects and for. The English bill page keeps the sum in with or in beside the document. This clause puts the sum in a bare object and does not contain the bill. The sister page payGIVE · betale records that Bokmålsordboka and Nynorskordboka print no recipient. NAOB prints this one. This page does not rewrite that page.

The particle stays next to the verb. betalte ham ud is a different expression: the pronoun sits between the verb and ut. A payment gjøre with the noun in that slot is unprinted. avbetale på et lån does not make the loan the bare object.

Examples

Argument difference. English pay the bill uses one bare object for the bill and keeps the sum in with or in. English pay someone can use one bare object for the person. Norwegian betale uses a bare object for the bill, and a bare object for the sum in a clause that does not contain the bill. The payee is that bare object or til. Goods are for. gjøre opp uses med or for, with the particle next to the verb. nedbetale and avbetale use a bare object for gjeld, and avbetale also uses på.

Printed dictionary lines come first. A constructed line reuses a printed marking. It is labelled constructed.
