In German schools, Mathematik is usually just shortened to Mathe (like math/maths in English). Do you do something similar in your language?
In czech an (informal) way to say it is "matika"
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.
Same in Irish, its matá.
