German[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Etymology 1[edit]
Shortened from Pommes frites and provided with a German plural. The abbreviation may have been under the direct influence of French frites, since the more widespread short form (outside of western Germany) is Pommes.
Noun[edit]
Fritten f pl (plural only)
- fries, french fries, chips (UK)
- plural of Fritte (“a single fry”)
Usage notes[edit]
- In parts of western Germany, Fritten is the preferred word for “fries” alongside less frequent Pommes. In most other regions the situation is converse: Pommes is much more common, while Fritten is rare (but generally understood).[1]
