Ordbøkene.no (Bokmålsordboka & Nynorskordboka)

What it actually is

Run by Språkrådet and the University of Bergen, this is the authoritative free dictionary for Norwegian, carrying Bokmålsordboka and Nynorskordboka side by side so you can compare the two written standards on the same word. Every entry gives the sanctioned spelling and complete inflection, which is exactly what Norwegian learners get wrong most often. Free, fast and no account required. It is monolingual Norwegian, so absolute beginners will want Lexin alongside it.
