Bedeutung
Cleaning after a meal.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Takk for maten' (Thanks for the food) ritual is often followed by guests offering to help with the 'oppvask'. It is a sign of good manners. Gender equality is very high; it is expected that men and women share the task of 'vaske opp' equally in the household. In 'kollektiv' (shared housing), 'oppvask' is the number one cause of arguments. Many use an 'oppvaskliste' (dishwashing list) to keep track. Norwegians are taught to be efficient with water. Many will fill the sink with soapy water rather than letting the tap run while 'vasking opp'.
The Zalo Rule
If you see a green bottle in a Norwegian kitchen, it's Zalo. You use it to 'vaske opp'.
Don't forget the 'opp'
Without 'opp', 'vaske' is too vague. Always include it for dishes.
