dadler
In Norwegian, the English word 'dates' (referring to the fruit) is translated as dadler.
The term refers to the sweet, edible fruit of the date palm tree.
Did you know?
- In Norwegian, the word for a romantic date is date, which is a direct loanword from English and sounds almost identical to the fruit's English name.
- In Norway, dadler are most commonly associated with the Christmas season, often appearing in traditional holiday baking and porridge.
- If you are talking about a 'date' in terms of a meeting or a calendar day, you must avoid the word dadler entirely, or you will sound like you are eating your appointments.
