Significado
Feeling bad about an action.
Contexto cultural
The 'Dugnad' culture is a major source of 'dårlig samvittighet'. If you don't show up to clean the shared garden, you are expected to feel bad. The 'Janteloven' (Law of Jante) suggests you shouldn't think you're special. Breaking this social norm often leads to a sense of 'dårlig samvittighet'. 'Flyskam' (flight shame) is a specific modern evolution of this idiom, where people feel guilty about their carbon footprint.
Use 'kjempe-'
To sound like a native, add 'kjempe' to the front: 'kjempedårlig samvittighet'. Norwegians love this intensifier.
Don't say 'Jeg er...'
Always use 'ha' (have). Saying 'Jeg er dårlig samvittighet' sounds like you are the concept of guilt itself.
