This is the 447th most frequent Norwegian word.
mente
"Meant" or "thought."
"Mente" here is the past tense of "å mene," meaning "to think" or "to mean." It expresses her belief or opinion about the weather.
Hun mente at været ville bli fint i morgen.
She meant that the weather would be nice tomorrow.
"Mente" in this context also stems from "å mene" but emphasizes the speaker articulating their opinion or agreement on the idea.
Jeg mente at det var en god idé.
I meant that it was a good idea.
Here, "mente" represents an intent or purpose, derived from "å mene," illustrating what they intended to do.
