Which dialects actually add -t to -ig ending adjectives? Like "vanskeligt", for example. I live in Rogaland and occasionally hear people say things like that, also like "et billigt hus".

I know this is a thing in Danish and Swedish, but curious about where exactly this occurs in Norwegian and how common it is.

Yeah I don't know how widespread it is outside of Rogaland but it's definitely a thing in Haugesund. Good catch.

You hear it in Trøndelag as well.
