While searching for a translation for the English word "fire" I've come across more than a half dozen different Norwegian words and suspect that there are probably even more.
Here's the definition of the English noun "fire" that I'd like a translation for:
"combustion or burning, in which substances combine chemically with oxygen from the air and typically give out bright light, heat, and smoke."
If I wanted to write the following sentence på norsk, would brann be the best norsk ord to use for "fire"?
The house was destroyed by fire.
Huset ble ødelagt av brann.
På forhånd takk og godt nyttår!
