Bedeutung
Asking for an opinion.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Norwegians value consensus. Asking for an opinion is a way to ensure everyone is on the same page. The 'Jante Law' culture means people might be modest, so asking for their opinion is a way to draw them out. Directness is valued. This phrase is seen as a polite but direct way to engage. In a flat hierarchy, this phrase is essential for team building.
The 'Om' rule
Always remember 'om' when you mention the topic. 'Hva synes du om boken?'
Be specific
If you want a better answer, be specific. Instead of 'Hva synes du?', try 'Hva synes du om denne ideen?'
