Significado
To believe in the success of something.
Contexto cultural
The phrase reflects the 'Projectification' of Norwegian life, where even social movements and personal self-improvement are viewed as 'projects'. In Norwegian flat-hierarchy workplaces, saying you 'have faith in the project' is a way to show you are an active participant, not just a follower. Using 'trua' (the feminine form) is a sign of being 'folkelig' (of the people) and is very common in sports and pop music. Calling a relationship a 'prosjekt' is a common way to use irony to mask emotional vulnerability.
The 'Trua' Trick
Use 'trua' instead of 'tro' if you want to sound like a local in Oslo. It immediately makes you sound more fluent and less like a textbook.
Preposition Alert
Never say 'tro i'. It is the most common mistake for English speakers. Always 'på'!
