Wikinger Explanation: Norsemen usually is a historical term that is applied as a group term to the Vikings. "Skandinavier" is a correct pluiral in Gerlman, however it is the modern term for people from the North (Demark, Sweden, Norway, but usually not including Finland). Norse actually comes from "Norge", which is the Norwegian name for Norway. HTH Oxford Duden |
