This is the 19th most frequent Norwegian word.
fikk
"Fikk" means "got" or "received" in English.
Here, 'fikk' is the past tense of 'å få', meaning 'to receive'.
Jeg fikk en gave i går.
I received a gift yesterday.
In this sentence, 'fikk' is used to mean 'made' or 'caused' when paired with an infinitive verb.
Han fikk meg til å le.
He made me laugh.
'Fikk' once again takes the meaning of 'received', this time in the context of obtaining permission.
