Noun
kåpe f. 'woman's coat / cloak'
Use f., m. and nt. (rather than c. and nt.) so that it is clear which nouns are feminine for use in informal situations. Indicate feminine nouns which can only take -a rather than -en in the Definite form and neuter nouns which can only have -a in the plural Definite (rather than having the usual alternative in -ene):
geit f. (pl only -a) 'goat'
barn nt. (pl only -a) 'child'
Adjective
fæl 'horrid, nasty': den fæle heksa 'the nasty witch'
Verb
bestemme for å (bestemte, bestemt) 'decide to': jeg bestemmer meg for å spise henne 'I decide to eat her'
If words have more than one meaning (please see få!), use 1., 2. etc. Use : before an example of a particular meaning and ; to separate lists of examples.
Include:
- good examples, esp. of idioms
Possible improvements
- pronunciation of word
- tone 1 or 2?
