In German schools, Mathematik is usually just shortened to Mathe (like math/maths in English). Do you do something similar in your language?

British English shortens it to Maths, I gather. American English calls it Math.

yeah, matte in Norwegian. Same as the word for a mat (ei matte).

Danish is usually very similar to Norwegian, but we never shorten it; it's always matematik.
