Å sette is the Verb of the Week for Week 46, and it means "to set". Its usage is quite similar to the English word. It is a transitive verb, requiring an object, the thing which is being set.
Å sette should not be confused with å sitte, "to sit". Å sitte is in fact an intransitive verb, and does not require an object: while you "set" something somewhere, you yourself simply "sit".
Here are the conjugations of this irregular verb:
jeg setter = I set/am setting (present tense)
jeg har satt = I have set (present perfect tense)
jeg satte = I set (past tense)
jeg hadde satt = I had set (past perfect)
jeg vil sette = I will set (future)
jeg vil ha sat = I will have set (future perfect)
jeg ville sette = I would set (present conditional)
jeg ville ha satt = I would have set (perfect conditional)
And here are some nyttige uttrykk, some useful expressions:
sette på bordet = set the table
sette til side = set aside, disregard
sette skylden på = put the blame on
sette i gang = start, get started
sette seg ned = sit down
sette bort = subcontract, outsource
