Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /θœhk/
- Rhymes: -œhk
Noun
þökk f (genitive singular þakkar, nominative plural þakkir)
Usage notes
- The term þökk is used as a noun, and rarely as an interjection by itself. The derived term þökk fyrir can be used as an interjection.
- The interjection takk (“thank you”) and its derivations are more common. Takk is borrowed from Danish tak, itself inhereted from Old Norse þǫkk, and is thus a cognate of þökk.
