Stating city of residence.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Norwegians are very proud of their local cities. Mentioning your city is a key part of identity. Similar to Sweden and Denmark, the verb 'bo' is used across the region. Many students in Oslo use this phrase to find roommates. People in rural areas might say 'Jeg bor på landet' (I live in the countryside).
Preposition check
Always use 'i' for cities. It's the most common mistake.
Add context
Add 'nå' (now) if you want to emphasize your current situation.
