Bedeutung
Getting salary.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Talking about your specific salary is often considered a bit too personal for casual conversation, but the general act of 'tjene penger' is respected. In the US, 'making money' is often a sign of success and is discussed more openly than in Norway. There is a strong emphasis on the effort behind earning money, similar to the Norwegian respect for hard work. Germans, like Norwegians, value the 'service' aspect of earning and have a very similar linguistic structure.
The 'Sin' Rule
When saying you earn money for *your* family, use 'sin' (Jeg tjener penger til familien min).
Avoid 'Make'
Never say 'gjøre penger'. It's the most common giveaway that you are translating from English.
