Relating to or characteristic of Norway, its people, or their language.
From Norwegian 'norsk' meaning 'Norwegian', derived from Old Norse 'norrænn' meaning 'northern'. The word literally means 'of the north' and reflects the geographical position of Norway in Scandinavia.
Norsk is both the Norwegian word for 'Norwegian' and the English adjective describing things from Norway. Interestingly, when Norwegians say they speak 'norsk', they're using the exact same word form that English speakers use as an adjective, making it a rare case of perfect linguistic overlap between languages.
