المعنى
To have hidden motives.
خلفية ثقافية
In Norway, transparency (åpenhet) is a highly valued trait. Accusing someone of having 'sin egen agenda' is a significant criticism of their character and integrity. In international business contexts in Norway, this phrase is often used to describe 'silo thinking' where departments prioritize themselves over the whole company. Norwegian political commentators use this phrase constantly to analyze the 'spillet' (the game) behind closed doors in the Storting. On Norwegian social media, influencers are often accused of having an 'agenda' when they promote products without being clear about their sponsorship.
The 'Sin' Rule
Always remember that 'sin' points back to the subject. If you say 'Han har hans egen agenda', you are talking about someone else's secret plan!
Negative Connotation
Be careful using this about friends. It is a strong word that implies you don't trust them.
