Bedeutung
To like or appreciate something.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Norway, 'å ha sansen for noe' is a way to express strong liking without being 'too much'. It fits the cultural value of sincerity and moderation. Across Scandinavia, having a 'sense' for design is a point of pride. This phrase is often used in home-decor shows and magazines. In Norwegian workplaces, flat hierarchy means you can use this phrase with your boss to show you appreciate their strategy. It is a very common 'safe' compliment on dating apps like Tinder in Norway. It sounds genuine but not desperate.
Use 'få' for change
Use 'få sansen for' to describe an acquired taste, like olives or jazz.
Avoid 'av'
Never say 'sansen av'. It's a dead giveaway that you're translating from English.
