Græsset

Græsset is a Danish noun referring to the grass as a surface or area of ground covered with grass. It is the definite singular form of the common noun græs, meaning grass. In Danish, the definite form is used when speaking of specific grass in a known place, such as a lawn, field, or meadow.

Linguistic usage and form: Græsset functions as a neuter singular noun. It contrasts with the indefinite form græs, which denotes grass in general rather than a particular patch. The definite form allows speakers to indicate a known portion of grass, for example in descriptions of a park, garden, or pasture. The term can appear in both literal descriptions—such as describing the color or condition of the grass—and in idiomatic contexts related to mowing or maintaining grassy areas.

Common contexts and examples: Phrases might include statements like the grass in the garden (græsset i haven), the grass on the field (græsset på marken), or actions such as mowing the grass (at slå græsset). Græsset is frequently encountered in everyday Danish writing and speech, as well as in literature that describes landscapes or outdoor scenes. Related terms include græs (grass) and græsplæne (lawn), which denotes a cultivated, manicured grassy area.
