To have confidence.
Contexto cultural
The phrase is a key part of 'Heia Norge' culture, used to build national spirit during the Olympics or Eurovision. In Norwegian flat-hierarchy workplaces, a boss saying 'Jeg har troen på deg' is a significant sign of empowerment and trust. The variant 'trua' is often used as a one-word response to mean 'I agree' or 'That sounds like a good plan'. Commentators use this phrase to create tension and hope during matches, even when the score is bad.
Use 'Trua' for extra points
Using the 'a' ending (trua) makes you sound much more like a local, especially in casual settings.
Watch the preposition
Never say 'troen i'. It's always 'troen på'.
