Norwegian Nynorsk edit
Pronunciation edit
Noun edit
peng m (definite singular pengen, indefinite plural pengar, definite plural pengane)
- Alternative form of penge
Swedish edit
Etymology edit
From Old Norse peningr and pengr.
Pronunciation edit

Usage notes edit
- The first sample sentence (Du ska få en peng) gives evidence of a rare exception where the singular of peng is used to mean money, and not a coin. Another example is veckopeng/månadspeng, meaning weekly/monthly allowance. However, compounds are formed with the ancient plural genitive penga-.
