Bedeutung
Being mindful of others' needs.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Dugnad' spirit. During community work days, everyone must 'ta hensyn til' the group's goals over their own comfort. Public silence. It is considered very rude to talk loudly on phones in public transport; it's seen as a failure to 'ta hensyn'. Flat hierarchy. Managers are expected to 'ta hensyn til' the input of even the most junior staff. Norway's 'Friluftsliv' (outdoor life) is built on taking consideration for the land.
The 'Til' Anchor
If you are ever in doubt, just remember: Hensyn + Til. They are best friends and rarely go anywhere without each other when an object follows.
Don't 'Gjøre' it
English speakers often say 'make consideration'. In Norwegian, you always 'take' (ta) it. Using 'gjøre' will sound very unnatural.
