This is the 738th most frequent Norwegian word.
syk
"Ill" or "sick."
The word "syk" is used here to describe feeling unwell or ill, referring to a state of health.
Jeg føler meg syk i dag.
I feel sick today.
In this sentence, "syk" metaphorically describes a state of emotional distress, not physical illness.
Hun er syk av bekymring.
She is worried sick.
Here, "sykt" is used informally to mean 'incredible' or 'amazing', deviating from its literal meaning of 'sick'.
