====Participles==== [[Participle|Past participles]] of verbs, which are when the verb functions as an adjective, are inflected just like an adjective.<ref name="elevrom.sprakradet.no"/> This is very similar to the system of agreement in [[Swedish grammar|the Swedish language]], where all participles have an inflection for gender, number and definiteness. In contrast, participles in Bokmål are only in general inflected for number and definiteness and shares many of the inflections it got from the Danish language. The inflections of these participles are inferred from the verb conjugation class they pertain to, described in the verb section. In Nynorsk, the verb {{lang|nn|skrive}} (to write, strong verb) has the following forms:<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ordbok.uib.no/perl/ordbok.cgi?OPP=skrive&ant_bokmaal=5&ant_nynorsk=5&nynorsk=+&ordbok=nynorsk|title=Bokmålsordboka {{!}} Nynorskordboka|website=ordbok.uib.no|access-date=2018-07-14}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" |+Skrive (to write, strong verb) ! Masculine/feminine ! Neuter ! Plural and definite |- |{{lang|nn|skriv'''en'''}} |{{lang|nn|skriv'''e'''}} |{{lang|nn|skriv'''ne'''}} |}In fact, all strong verbs are conjugated in this pattern:<ref name="elevrom.sprakradet.no"/> {| class="wikitable" |+Strong verbs ! Masculine/feminine ! Neuter ! Plural and definite |- | '''{{lang|nn|-en}}''' | '''{{lang|nn|-e}}''' | '''{{lang|nn|-ne}}''' |} Strong verbs had an optional feminine form {{lang|nn|-i}} prior to the 2012 language revision that still are used among some users. {| class="wikitable" |+Examples, strong verbs ! Norwegian ! English |- | {{lang|nn|Protokollen er skriv'''en'''}} | The protocol (masculine) is written |- | {{lang|nn|Boka er skriv'''en'''}} | The book (feminine) is written |- | {{lang|nn|Brevet er skriv'''e'''}} | The letter (neuter) is written |- | {{lang|nn|Bøkene er skriv'''ne'''}} | The books are written |- | {{lang|nn|Ein skriv'''en''' protokoll}} | A written protocol (masculine) |- | {{lang|nn|Ei skriv'''en''' bok}} | A written book (feminine) |- | {{lang|nn|Eit skriv'''e''' brev}} | A written letter (neuter) |- | {{lang|nn|To skriv'''ne''' brev}} | Two written letters |} Some of the weak verbs have to agree in only number (just like in Bokmål), while many have to agree in both gender and number (like in Swedish). The weak verbs are inflected according to their conjugation class<ref name="elevrom.sprakradet.no"/> (see [[#Verb conjugation|Nynorsk verb conjugation]]). All {{lang|nn|a}}-verbs get the following inflections:<ref name="elevrom.sprakradet.no"/> {| class="wikitable" |+{{lang|nn|a}}-verbs ! Masculine/feminine ! Neuter !

In general, they are formed with the suffix {{lang|nn|-ande}} on the verb stem; {{lang|nn|Ein skrivande student}} (a writing student).
