Pågående (present participle, used as an adjective) - Infinitive: Pågå (to proceed, to continue) - Meaning: "Ongoing" or "in progress." The form used here is the present participle of *pågå* to describe the noun *session*. 3. Session (common gender noun, singular) - Infinitive: N/A - Meaning: "Session," a formal meeting or gathering. 4. I (preposition) - Infinitive: N/A - Meaning: "In," used here to indicate location. 5. Parlamentet (definite form of the noun *parlament* - "parliament") - Infinitive: Parlament (parliament) - Meaning: "The parliament," referring to the legislative body. The definite form is used because the speaker is referring to a specific parliament. 6.

Viktiga (adjective, plural form) - Infinitive: N/A - Meaning: "Important." The adjective agrees in number with the noun *beslut* (decisions), which is plural. 8.

Fattas (passive form of the verb *fatta*) - Infinitive: Fatta (to make, to decide) - Meaning: "Are made" or "are decided." The verb is in the passive form because the focus is on the action, not on who is doing the action.
