voll

== German == === Etymology === From Middle High German vol, from Old High German foll, from Proto-West Germanic *full, from Proto-Germanic *fullaz, from Proto-Indo-European *pl̥h₁nós. Compare Low German vull, Dutch vol, English full, Danish fuld, Swedish full. The stem is spelt with v- before -o-, -ö- (as in voll, Völle, Völlerei), but with f- before -ü- (as in füllen, Fülle). Modern German does not allow v for /f/ before -u-, -ü- and the spelling of the other forms has never been adapted. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /fɔl/, [fɔl], [fɔ̟l] === Adjective === voll (strong nominative masculine singular voller, comparative voller, superlative am vollsten) full; filled Synonym: gefüllt F.

Erzählung aus den Zeiten der Hussitenkriege, Leipzig, p. 201: (colloquial) full (not hungry anymore) Synonym: satt (colloquial) drunk Synonyms: betrunken, breit ==== Usage notes ==== Voll was originally construed with the genitive case. When the noun has no other adjective, this use is now literary and dated: voll Geldes, des Geldes voll (“full of money”), voll Kummers, des Kummers voll (“full of sorrow”). Instead, an apposition is predominantly used: voll Geld, voll Kummer. In this construction, the adjective may alternatively take the form voller, which in turn is sometimes interpreted as a preposition: voller Geld, voller Kummer. Furthermore, the preposition mit can be used chiefly in the literal sense of a filled container, and von can be used chiefly in figurative senses: voll mit Geld, voll von Kummer. If the noun has an additional adjective, then in addition to the alternative constructions, the genitive is still used: ein Eimer voll heißen Wassers (“a bucket full of hot water”). If an apposition is used, the cases of both nouns usually match: ein Eimer voll heißes Wasser; mit einem Eimer voll heißem Wasser. ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Related terms ==== Fülle füllen === Adverb === voll fully (colloquial, chiefly among the younger) very; quite; really Synonyms: see Thesaurus:sehr Das war voll gut. ― That was really good. === Further reading === “voll”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[1] (in German) “voll” in Uni Leipzig: Wortschatz-Lexikon == Luxembourgish == === Etymology === From Middle High German vol, from Old High German foll, see also Old English full, Old Norse fullr. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /fol/ Rhymes: -ol === Adjective === voll (masculine vollen, neuter vollt, comparative méi voll, superlative am vollsten) full ==== Declension ==== ==== Antonyms ==== eidel ==== Related terms ==== fëllen == Norwegian Bokmål == === Alternative forms === vold (Riksmål) === Etymology 1 === From Old Norse vǫllr. ==== Noun ==== voll m (definite singular vollen, indefinite plural voller, definite plural vollene) meadow Synonym: eng ===== Derived terms ===== setervoll === Etymology 2 === From Middle Low German wal, from Latin vallum. ==== Noun ==== voll m (definite singular vollen, indefinite plural voller, definite plural vollene) rampart, wall === References === “voll” in The Bokmål Dictionary. == Norwegian Nynorsk == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /volː/ IPA(key): /vodl/, /vodː/ (differentiation) === Etymology 1 === From Old Norse vǫllr.
