fjellet
Norwegian Bokmål[edit]
Pronunciation[edit]
Noun[edit]
fjellet n
Usage notes[edit]
Although the word is in it's 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.
