"Har han lommeboken sin?"

Translation: Does he have his wallet?

Some people (including me) call--in English--any larger sized wallet that includes a coin purse, a pocketbook, regardless of whether it is a man's or woman's. I don't know how widespread this is. It is not accepted as correct on this item.

It is now, thank you.

My grandmother always called her purse a pocketbook.

Very interesting that pocketbook is used in other places to refer to a purse or a wallet. I´ve always just thought of it as a paperback novel. Haha

I grew up (USA) using pocketbook more often than wallet for a wallet carried by women, which seemed funny to me as a kid since men were more likely to carry them in their pockets. I looked up lomme and it means pocket--so pocketbook is how I'm storing this one in my memory.
