Bedeutung
Proposing a location.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Norwegians are very punctual. If you agree to 'møtes her' at 10:00, you should be there at 09:59. Common meeting spots in Oslo include 'Tigeren' (The Tiger statue) at the Central Station or 'Freia-uret' at Karl Johan. In Bergen, 'Den blå steinen' (The Blue Stone) is the most famous place to 'møtes her'. Norway is highly digitized. 'Møtes her' is frequently used in Vipps (payment app) or Messenger when sharing locations.
The 'S' Rule
If you are meeting a person, use 'møte'. If you are meeting *with* a person, use 'møtes'.
Her vs. Hit
Don't use 'hit' unless you are telling someone to move toward you. For meeting at a spot, 'her' is king.
