To talk in depth.
Contexto cultural
Norwegian work culture is extremely egalitarian. A 'grundig diskusjon' often involves everyone from the intern to the CEO. Decisions are rarely made top-down without this process. The 'utredningsinstruksen' (the instruction for official studies) requires that all government decisions undergo a thorough process, often involving a 'grundig diskusjon' with various stakeholders (høringsrunder). There is a shared value of 'sindighet' (calmness/sobriety). A 'grundig diskusjon' is expected to be calm and fact-based, not emotional or loud. From a young age, Norwegian students are taught 'kritisk tenkning' (critical thinking). Group work often centers around taking a 'grundig diskusjon' to explore different sides of an argument.
Use it to sound professional
If you want to impress a Norwegian employer, use this phrase instead of 'snakke.' It shows you value thoroughness.
Don't over-use 'grundig'
If every talk is 'grundig,' nothing is. Save it for topics that actually have depth.

The 'Silence' Factor
During a 'grundig diskusjon,' Norwegians might be silent for a few seconds. This is not awkward; they are thinking. Don't rush to fill the silence.
