å såre = to wound, hurt
sår = a wound
sårt = slightly painful, tender, but I think mostly used for mental pain
"et sårt brudd" = a painful breakup (of a relationship)
"et sårt minne" = a painful/dear memory
There's also (don't know if it is from the same word):
særs = especially, can be used as "very"
særlig = especially, can be used as "very"
sært = strange, weird, unusual
"særs idiotisk", "veldig idiotisk" = especially/very idiotic
t.
