The principal properties of geodesic normal coordinates are the vanishing of the connection components and first derivatives of the metric components at some point. It is well-known that these hold only at points where the connection has vanishing torsion and non-metricity. However, it is shown that normal frames, possessing the essential features of normal coordinates, can still be constructed when the connection is non-Riemannian.
