Norwegian Bokmål

Etymology

Onomatopoeic, originally an expressive sound associated with disgust or discomfort.

Compare the parallel expressive formations Danish fuj (“ugh, fie”), German pfui (“ugh, fie”), Dutch foei (“ugh, fie”), English fie, French fi (“fie”), Latin phui (“ugh, fie”) and Ancient Greek φεῦ (pheû, “alas”). Their exact historical relationships are uncertain because such interjections can arise independently through sound symbolism.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /fʉj/, [fʉj]
• Rhymes: -ʉj
• Hyphenation: fui

Interjection

fui

1. (rare) ugh, fie; an exclamation expressing discomfort, disgust or disapproval

   Synonyms: fy, huff
