Usage notes
edit- This word is considered dialectal. Standard Norwegian Nynorsk uses the possessive determiner oss instead. Most dialects use that, or at least some other variant thereof.
- Dialects which use this as their first-person objective case personal pronoun, usually also have okka (or a variant thereof), as the respective possessive determiner or pronoun.
