Kultureller Hintergrund
Saying 'Jeg er ferdig' at the dinner table is the polite signal for 'Takk for maten'. Norwegians are very punctual. 'Jeg er ferdig klokken fire' means they will likely leave at exactly 4:00 PM. Young Norwegians use 'Ferdig snakka' in comments to show they have the final word on a topic. Being 'ferdig' with a degree is a major milestone celebrated with 'vitnemålsutdeling' (graduation).
