If you're in Denmark the first answer anyone will give you is:
A discount supermarket chain Other: on goods: the weight on the contents (brutto is weight of contents + weight of container/wrapping i.e. the same as the english word net Does this help? P.S. I do NOT know why you asked [ 05-08-2002, 03:58 PM: Message edited by: Ar-Cunin ]

Not in danish - value = værdi
And I'm almost certain this also applies for norwegian and swedish the only context I can think of is: Net worth/net value = netto wærdi - but again it's net corresponding to netto + value to værdi So concluding - I think your TV is lying to you.

One point I fell that I have to make:
There is no such thing as a scandinavian language There are danish, swedish and norwegian - three seperate languages ( + finnish, but thats of a totally diffirent origin and has nothing to do with the others)

Well Netto is a word from keeping books.
A supermarket chain. Not a scandinavian word. Value =värde in Swedish. It is used as a term though. As stated above, the english word is Net. Se bancruptcy0bankrut, banka rutta etc fro more financial words origins..
