frokostblanding (f/m)

noun cereal, breakfast cereal

(sing. indef) ei frokostblanding, en frokostblanding

(sing. def) frokostblandinga, frokostblandingen

Du putter vel ikke vann i frokostblandinga di? / I suppose you don't put water in your cereal?

fun fact: in my family, we've accidently made our own word for "frokostblanding", "flex". It happened when my sister and I were kids, and it probably came from "cornflakes". It took many years before I found out that it wasn't an actual word. I still use it to this day!
