förra

== Swedish == === Etymology === From Old Swedish fyrre, from Old Norse fyrri, from Proto-Germanic *furizô, comparative of Proto-Germanic *furi, *furai. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [²fœ̞rːa] (nonstandard, nonetheless common) IPA(key): [²fɵrːa] === Adjective === förra (masculine förre) former, last, previous (the one in a sequence before the present) (archaic) first ==== Usage notes ==== Just like English last, this adjective can only be used in attributive, definite form (det förra året = the last year), not in indefinite (*ett förrt år = *a last year) or predicative form (*året var förrt = *the year was last). For such cases, either use föregående (“preceding”) or forn (“old”), or rewrite to definite form (e.g. året var det förra = the year was the last one). ==== Derived terms ==== förrförra ==== See also ==== föregående forn === References === === Further reading === “förra”, in Svensk ordbok [Dictionary of Swedish] (in Swedish) === Anagrams === förar
