Bedeutung
to work well
Kultureller Hintergrund
Norwegians often use this phrase when discussing 'Friluftsliv' (outdoor life). It is a scientific-sounding way to justify their deep love for hiking. In flat-hierarchy Norwegian offices, managers use this phrase to give feedback without sounding too bossy or emotional. The Norwegian state (Statens vegvesen, Helsedirektoratet) uses this phrase in almost all public campaigns to show that taxes and rules are working. Norwegian schools focus on 'læringseffekt'. Teachers and parents discuss which methods have the 'best effekt' on children's development.
The 'På' Rule
Always follow this phrase with 'på'. It's the most common mistake for B1 learners.
Avoid 'Godt'
Never say 'en godt effekt'. Adverbs don't describe nouns!
