Bedeutung
To be evaluating options.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Tenkepause'. Norwegians value taking time to think before acting. Using this phrase shows you are respecting that cultural norm of not rushing into a decision. Flat hierarchy. Because decisions are often made collectively, this phrase is used to indicate that the 'process' is moving through the necessary levels of the organization. Transparency. Norwegian government agencies use this phrase in public statements to show they are being thorough and following legal procedures. Avoiding conflict. Sometimes this phrase is used as a 'soft no'. It's more polite to say you are 'evaluating' than to give an immediate rejection.
The 'Buying Time' Trick
Use this phrase in meetings when you don't have an answer. It sounds much more professional than 'I don't know' or 'I haven't looked at it yet.'
Don't forget the 'Å'
The most common B2 exam error is dropping the 'å' before 'vurdere'. Always keep 'med å' together.
