Bedeutung
Believing in someone's honesty.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Tillitssamfunn' (Trust Society) is a core part of Norwegian identity. High trust in the state leads to high tax compliance and social stability. Norwegian workplaces are flat. Managers 'har tillit til' that employees do their jobs without micromanagement. This is called 'tillitsbasert ledelse'. It is common to see babies sleeping in strollers outside shops. This is a visual manifestation of 'tillit' to one's fellow citizens. A 'mistillitsforslag' (vote of no confidence) is a serious tool in the Storting (Parliament) to remove a minister or the government.
The Palindrome Trick
Remember that 'tillit' is a palindrome. Trust goes both ways!
Preposition Alert
Never say 'tillit i'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers.
