fjellet
Norwegian Bokmål
[edit]Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]fjellet n
Usage notes
[edit]Although the word is in its singular form, it may often be translated as a plural depending on context. Hence, a sentence like "på fjellet" can mean "on the mountain" or "in the mountains". The reason of it can be the fossilized case ending -e interpreted as -et (compare i live). Otherwise, it can be a result of influence from plural forms from Riksmål fjælde and Danish fjelde.
