Question 1 of 1
1. Question
WINDOWS. Although we frequently think of English impacting Norwegian language, the opposite is also true.The word “window” is a good example of a word that was derived from Norwegian. The Old Norse word “vindauga (meaning wind eye)” eventually developed into the English word “window” and the Norwegian word “vindu.”
