Communicating.
Contexto cultural
In Norwegian offices, 'å snakke sammen' is the basis of the flat hierarchy. Even a junior employee is expected to 'snakke sammen' with the CEO. The concept of 'fredagspils' (Friday beer) is a dedicated time for colleagues to 'snakke sammen' outside of work tasks. Norwegians generally avoid direct confrontation. Using 'vi må snakke sammen' is a gentle way to signal that something is wrong without being aggressive. Even while hiking ('på tur'), 'å snakke sammen' is a key part of the experience, though silence is also highly valued.
The 'Vi snakkes' trick
If you want to sound like a native, end your conversations with 'Vi snakkes!' instead of 'Ha det bra!'
Don't over-formalize
Avoid using 'å tale sammen' unless you are at a wedding or a funeral; it sounds very stiff.
