Norwegian-English

Please feel free to add words and examples to this small learning dictionary.

Here are some model entries:

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.
