to the whining/complaining Explanation: There was no end to the whining and complaining of the people in the valley. "Syt og mas" is an expression that as a whole means whining/complaining, but "mas" on its own normally means "trouble, bother, difficulty, fuss, hassle" or "nagging, fussing, importunity" (word selections taken from Ordnett) |
