Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /ɪˈfjuːr/

Prepositional phrase

i fjor

1. (adverbially) last year

Usage notes

• This phrase is used adverbially. For a noun, see fjorår.
• Expect that the phrase may be directly followed by another term, to narrow even more. E.g. i fjor sommar ("in the summer of last year"). Most commonly, this is done to the four seasons vår, sommar (sumar), haust, and vinter. Albeit rare, other yearly occurrences (such as months) may be subject to this construction as well, e.g. i fjor mai ("(in) May last year"). Synonyms for this use would be førre and sist (“last”).

See also

• i år (“(during) this year”)
• i forfjor (“in the year before last year”)
