This is the 225th most frequent Norwegian word.
brukt
"Brukt" in Norwegian means "used" or "second-hand."
The word 'brukt' is the past participle of 'bruke', indicating the action of using something in the past.
Jeg har brukt mine gamle klær til å lage noe nytt.
I have used my old clothes to make something new.
Here, 'brukt' functions as an adjective describing the state of the car as second-hand or pre-owned.
Denne bilen er brukt, men den fungerer veldig bra.
This car is used, but it works very well.
'Brukt' in this context is again the past participle of 'bruke', associated with the auxiliary verb 'hadde', indicating a past-perfect action of utilizing or invoking courage.
