Kultureller Hintergrund

The concept of 'Søndagstur' (Sunday trip) is a huge part of Norwegian free time. Almost everyone goes for a walk on Sundays. Norwegians often answer this question with 'Jeg drar på hytta' (I go to the cabin). Cabin culture is central to leisure. Volunteering (Dugnad) can also be a part of free time, though it's more of a social obligation. In winter, 'fritid' almost exclusively means 'skiing' for many Norwegians.

It is technically understood, but 'på fritiden' is the standard and correct preposition in Norwegian.

No, it's a very standard and polite way to get to know someone in Norway.

You can say 'Jeg slapper bare av' (I just relax) or 'Jeg har ikke så mye fritid' (I don't have much free time).

'Fritid' is 'free time' (indefinite), while 'fritiden' is 'the free time' (definite). We use the definite form in this question.
