tysk

== Danish == === Alternative forms === tydsk (obsolete) ty. (abbreviation) === Etymology === Borrowed from Old Saxon thiudisc, from Proto-West Germanic *þiudisk, from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz (“of or relating to a people”), cognate with German deutsch, Dutch Duits, and English Dutch. The Old Icelandic form þýðverskr is remodelled from þýzkr after the old suffix for ethnonyms -verr (from Proto-Germanic *warjaz), compare also Icelandic Þjóðverji (“a German”). The adjective is derived form the noun Proto-Germanic *þeudō (“people, nation”), whence Old Norse þjóð and Danish tjod. Originally, the adjective was not an ethnonym, but designated the vernacular language in opposition to Latin. This is the meaning of theodiscus in eighth-century Latin texts. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /tysk/, [ˈtˢysɡ̊] === Adjective === tysk (plural and definite singular attributive tyske) German (relating to the country, people or language of Germany) ==== Hyponyms ==== ==== Related terms ==== Tyskland tysker === Noun === tysk n (definite (rare) tysken) German (the language) === Further reading === Tysk (sprog) on the Danish Wikipedia.Wikipedia da == Norwegian Bokmål == === Etymology === From Old Norse þýðverskr, þýzkr, from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz (“of or relating to a people”), from Proto-Germanic *þeudō (“people, nation”), from Proto-Indo-European *tewtéh₂ (“people”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /tʏsk/ Rhymes: -ʏsk === Adjective === tysk (neuter singular tysk, definite singular and plural tyske) German (relating to Germany and the German people) ==== Derived terms ==== Tyskebukta === Noun === tysk m (definite singular tysken, uncountable) German (the German language) ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== tysker Tyskland === References === “tysk” in The Bokmål Dictionary. == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Etymology === From Old Norse þýðverskr, þýzkr, from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz (“of or relating to a people”), from Proto-Germanic *þeudō (“people, nation”), from Proto-Indo-European *tewtéh₂ (“people”). === Adjective === tysk (neuter singular tysk, definite singular and plural tyske) German (relating to Germany and the German people) ==== Derived terms ==== Tyskebukta === Noun === tysk m (definite singular tysken, uncountable) German (the German language) ==== Derived terms ==== nedertysk plattysk ==== Related terms ==== tyskar Tyskland === References === “tysk” in The Nynorsk Dictionary. == Swedish == === Etymology === From Old Swedish thysker, þȳdisker, thȳdzkir, þȳþisker, thȳdisker, (Old Norse þýðverskr), from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz, from *þeudō (“folk”), from Proto-Indo-European *tewtéh₂ (“people”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈtʏsːk/, [ˈt̪ʰʏs̪ːk] === Adjective === tysk (not comparable) German (of or pertaining to Germany, Germans, or the German language) ==== Declension ==== === Noun === tysk c a German (person from Germany) ==== Declension ==== ==== Related terms ==== tyska ==== See also ==== Tyskland (“Germany”) === References === “tysk”, in Svensk ordbok [Dictionary of Swedish] (in Swedish) “tysk”, in Svenska Akademiens ordlista [Wordlist of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish) “tysk”, in Svenska Akademiens ordbok [Dictionary of the Swedish Academy] (in Swedish) === Anagrams === skyt
