Norwegian Nynorsk

Pronunciation

Noun

peng m (definite singular pengen, indefinite plural pengar, definite plural pengane)

  1. Alternative form of penge

Swedish

Etymology

From Old Norse peningr and pengr.

Pronunciation

Noun

peng c

  1. a coin
  2. (mostly in plural) money

    You'll get money for your birthday
    Nyutbildade får inga pengar till semester
    Graduates get no money for vacation

Usage notes

  • The first sample sentence (Du ska få en peng) gives evidence of a rare exception where the singular of peng is used to mean money, and not a coin. Another example is veckopeng/månadspeng, meaning weekly/monthly allowance. However, compounds are formed with the ancient plural genitive penga-.
