Where it comes from
From Norwegia + -n or Old English Norweġ + -ian.
proper noun Nw. · Norwayan · Norvegian
- The language of Norway, which has two official forms (written standards): Bokmål and Nynorsk. People don’t tend to use sounds that aren’t in their native language. (citation) So if you’re an English speaker, you’re not going to bust out some Norwegian vowels. This rather lets the air out of the theory that individuals engaged in glossolalia are actually speaking another language.
noun Norwegians · Nw. · Norwayan · Norvegian
- A native or inhabitant of Norway. But despite the President’s offer, it’s unlikely that an influx of Norwegians will begin to settle in the US anytime soon.
- A kind of fishing boat on the Great Lakes of North America.
adjective more Norwegian · most Norwegian · Nw. · Norwayan · Norvegian
- Of or pertaining to Norway (the country). Between Kiruna and the Norwegian border, along the chain of lovely lakes, a number of holiday resorts offering every comfort for the visitor have been developed.
- Of or pertaining to the Norwegian people. The line ends at Narvik. Eight years ago the whole town was in ruins, but the industry of the Norwegian people has rebuilt it entirely.
- Of or pertaining to the Norwegian language.
