Jugsnorsk

Etymology

Inherited from Varhúsnorsk hava, from Old Norse hafa, from Proto-Germanic *habjaną

Pronunciation

  • (Jugsnorsk) IPA(key): /ˈxa.ʋɐ/; [x-, (h)-], [-ˈɑ.ʋɐ]
("hav-" without vowel) [-ˈɑu̯, -ˈɒu̯]
("hava-", younger) [-ˈɑː]

Verb

hava

  1. (transitive) to have
    k'vu (< ęk havu) fǿðu
    I have food
  2. (transitive, copulative, with temporary qualities) to be
    k'vu sélā!
    I'm happy!
Usage notes

When used with an adjective, vaja expresses permanent qualities, whereas hava expresses temporary qualities.

Both vaja and hava take a nominative object when used as a copula.

hava is rarely seen in its full form, especially after vowels, you will most often encounter it without the initial ha-, in this form, the -v- is pronounced as [u] before consonants, as in 'vt [ut].
