fritis
Swedish
Alternative forms
- fritids
Etymology
Pronunciation spelling of fritids, caused by a presumed analogy with dagis, from a clipping of fritidshem. The presumed analogy comes from the misinterpretation that fritis has the -is suffix which is doesn't. One can however see it as it now in fact does have the suffix since the original spelling has become the unrecommended form by SAOL.
Pronunciation
- IPA(key): /¹friːtɪs/
Noun
fritis n
- part of an elementary school where children that are too small to get home by themselves are left after school where kids can do sports, play games etc. waiting for their parents to pick them up
