muttern
Norwegian Nynorsk
Etymology
Borrowed from German Mutter with definite masculine ending, expected for Bokmål common gender nouns.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /mʉtːæɳ/ (some dialects)
- Homophone: mutteren (some dialects)
Noun
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 muttern is a redundant variant of muttern.
