The former ultimately derives from nb gem-pro *-ōdaz, and the latter from nb gem-pro *-uhtaz. Compare da -et and sv -ad; related formations include older Swedish sv -ot, de -icht and ang -eht adjective-forming suffix. Pronunciation nb /ətə/ nb ətə 2 nb -e te Suffix nb suffix Forming adjectives from nouns, indicating that something is provided or covered with, full of, characterized by, associated with, resembling, or belonging to what the noun denotes. nb bakke -ete hill provided with, characterized by → nb bakkete hilly nb prikk -ete dot, spot provided with, characterized by → nb prikkete dotted, spotted nb rot -ete mess, disorder characterized by → nb rotete messy, untidy nb hår -ete hair provided with, covered with → nb hårete hairy Forming adjectives from verbs, with meanings resembling a present participle or indicating a characteristic, repeated or habitual action or manner. nb fisle -ete to fizzle; act feebly characterized by the action → nb fislete feeble, puny nb knirke -ete to creak characterized by the action → nb knirkete creaky nb sutre -ete to whine, complain characterized by the action → nb sutrete whiny nb rare Forming adjectives from intensifying adverbs. Usage notes Adjectives formed with nb -ete are normally indeclinable. The same form is used in the masculine, feminine, neuter, definite and plural: en bakkete vei ei bakkete bygd et bakkete landskap den bakkete veien bakkete veier Comparison is normally periphrastic, using nb mer more and nb mest most, when the meaning permits comparison: mer rotete, mest rotete. nb -et is a standard variant in many formations: nb bakkete or nb bakket, nb sørpete or nb sørpet, and nb beinete or nb beinet. The permitted variants must be checked for the individual adjective. Where an adjective has a lemma form in nb -et, the form in -ete commonly also functions as its definite singular and plural: en rutet skjorte et rutet stoff den rutete skjorta rutete skjorter The suffix is attached to the stem of the base word. A final unstressed ⟨e⟩ is therefore not retained as a separate vowel: nb bakke hill → nb bakkete, nb fille rag → nb fillete. The noun-derived use is the broadest and most productive, but the meaning of an individual adjective may be lexicalized. For example, nb kantete can mean both “having many edges” and figuratively “awkward, angular”. Verb-derived adjectives do not necessarily retain a transparent present-participial meaning. nb fislete, for example, normally means “feeble” or “puny”, rather than simply “fizzling”. NAOB records a rare use after intensifying adverbs and refers to nb sørpete. This pattern is not productively transparent in present-day Bokmål. Not every word ending in ⟨ete⟩ contains this derivational suffix. Forms such as nb kastete may instead be definite or plural forms of a past participle or adjective in nb -et.
