Etymology

Borrowed from Swedish morsan.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key): /muʂːan/ (some dialects)

Noun

morsan ?

  1. (colloquial) the mother, mom
    Synonym: muttern

Usage notes

Although the noun is always used in definite form, it can be used together with pronoun ho (“she”), here working as a definite particle for feminine nouns already having definite ending. Of this reason, ho morsan is a redundant variant of morsan.
