kursse

Kursse is a plural form found in several Germanic languages, used to refer to multiple courses, classes, or training programs. The exact meaning and spelling can vary by language and context, and kursse is not always the standard form in everyday usage.

In German, the noun Kurs has two common senses: a course or class offered by an institution, and the rate or price of something, such as an exchange rate. The standard plural for the educational sense is Kurse, and Kurse can also denote multiple exchange rates. The spelling kursse is generally considered nonstandard in formal German and is usually seen as a misspelling or dialectal variant rather than a separate entry.

The term etymologically traces back to the Latin cursus meaning course or running, with transmission through Germanic languages. Related forms appear in several languages with similar meanings, though the exact pluralization differs by language.

Usage and context vary. In educational contexts, kursse (or its language-specific equivalents) refers to sets of courses or training programs offered by schools, universities, or online platforms. In finance or commerce, the corresponding word for multiple rate quotes is often a cognate of Kurs/Kurse, depending on the language. When encountering the form kursse, it is advisable to confirm the intended language and sense from surrounding text, as the correct plural and meaning differ across languages.
