store

The Norwegian word "store" means "big" or "large" in English.

Here, 'store' modifies 'fjellene' (the mountains) to indicate that they are of a considerable size, referring to their physical magnitude.

Jeg ser på de store fjellene i det fjerne.

I observe the large mountains in the distance.

Here, 'store' modifies 'mengder' (quantities) to emphasize their largeness in quantity, related to measurement.

Store mengder regn falt i løpet av natten.

Large amounts of rain fell during the night.

In this usage, 'store' describes 'opplevelsene' (the experiences) to imply that they are noteworthy or significant, extending beyond physical size to metaphorical importance.

De store opplevelsene former oss som mennesker.

The significant experiences shape us as human beings.
