Word of the Day: Kjæreste
The Word of the Day is kjæreste, "sweetheart, boy/girlfriend" -- en person som man har et romantisk forhold til og fast følge med.
It is also a superlative of kjær, "dear", and can be used as an endearment -- Min kjæreste!, or more poetically, Kjæreste min!, although this might sound a little old-fashioned these days.
kjæreste = sweetheart
kjæresten = the sweetheart
kjærester = sweethearts
kjærestene = the sweethearts
Arne er lei seg fordi kjæresten slo opp med ham.
Arne is sad because his girlfriend broke up with him.
De har vært kjærester siden ungdommen.
They have been sweethearts since childhood.
