Betydning
We can identify someone or something by name or say what kind of person or thing it is. This can point to one particular person or thing, or place it in a group such as teachers or birds. Some languages connect the two parts with a verb, while others have no such verb or leave it out in some sentences. Unlike State and existence, this block names or classifies something rather than describing its condition, location, or existence.
Slik kjenner du det igjen
Look for a part that answers who or what someone or something is, rather than what they do or what condition they are in.
