Bedeutung
Reaching a location.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The phrase 'å komme til dekket bord' reflects the value of hospitality but also a slight suspicion of those who don't work for their success. Punctuality is vital. If you say you 'kommer til' a place at 8:00, you are expected to be there at 8:00 sharp. Hiking culture: Reaching the 'postkasse' (mailbox) at the top of a trail is a common goal where people sign their names. Norwegian business culture is flat and consensus-oriented. 'Å komme til enighet' is the primary goal of most meetings.
Use for Progress

The 'Å' Trap
Never put 'å' before a noun destination. 'Komme til Oslo', NOT 'Komme til å Oslo'.
