Norwegian Nynorsk[edit]
Etymology[edit]
From Old Norse drekka. Due to apocope, the final vowel is shortened while writing.
Verb[edit]
drekk' (present tense drekk, past tense drakk, present participle drukke or drokke)
- (dialectal, Trøndelag, Northern Norway) alternative form of drikke (“to drink”) (In case of use of "kløyvd infinitiv" it is an e-infinitive verb, because it's got an apocope. The distinction between the two types of verbs in Nynorsk is not used officially after the 2005 spelling-reform)
- 2017, Beist (lyrics and music), “Ståle Støggsterk”:
- Hei det e på tide å drekk sæ foill no
- Oh, it's about time to get drunk now (literally "to drink yourself full now" )
