The word "effektivitetsforbedring" (efficiency improvement) is a complex noun in Norwegian Nynorsk. It's a compound word built from several morphemes. Pronunciation follows Nynorsk standards, with a tendency towards a more conservative pronunciation of vowels compared to Bokmål.

3. Morphemic Analysis:

• effektiv-: Prefix/Root (Latin efficax - effective). Meaning: capable of producing desired results.
• itets-: Suffix (Norwegian). Derived from -itet (Latin -itas). Forms abstract nouns denoting a quality or state.
• for-: Prefix (Old Norse/Germanic). Meaning: for, in favor of, towards.

4. Stress Identification:
