Bedeutung
Greeting someone you haven't seen for a while.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Saying 'Takk for sist' is considered a vital social duty. If you skip it, you might seem like you didn't enjoy the last time you were with that person. Sweden and Denmark have very similar phrases ('Tack för senast' and 'Tak for sidst'). It is a pan-Scandinavian social marker. English speakers often find this phrase strange because they feel they are thanking the person for something they already thanked them for at the end of the last meeting. In Norwegian business, this phrase is used to build 'trust' and 'continuity' before diving into technical or financial details.
The 'Ja' Rule
Add a 'ja' at the end ('Takk for sist, ja!') to sound 100% more like a native speaker.
Strangers
Never say this to someone you don't know. They will think they have forgotten you!
