Most people call it that, but the fund’s formal name is the Government Pension Fund Global
olje = oil
fond = fund
-et is the definite article "the", which in Scandinavian can be appended
thus "the oil fund"
Guess that makes the slightly different Olfondet "the beer fund?"
i think someone stole your umlaut!
> -et is the definite article "the", which in Scandinavian can be appended
Ohh, I've seen this a lot. Huset, systembolaget, etc. That makes sense.
-en and -et for genders ... it's quite neat. confer hjaelm (helmet) with helmet in english, and you can see it seems to still show through in modern English, in random spots of course.
