Norwegian is my second language. The word order thing trips some folks up here as well (including myself sometimes, sometimes it is like english and sometimes not) - but others not so much. You are indeed lucky.

I've considered learning a bit of Norwegian, just to get a feel for the differences, but I haven't had any practical reason to, yet.

I'd say "Alle Verben sind am Ende? Das muss nicht sein". Well, it's not that simple.

In your second example, you should have highlighted muss, which is the inflected verb here, which is always in the second position in an in a declarative sentence (as opposed to a question or a relative clause or whatever).
Same as in English: "All verbs are at the end? That doesn't have to be".

Quite complex, actually :(. Ich hätte ihn fragen können.
After all these years, I've forgotten the genders of most nouns, and I'm very shaky on my declensions.
