Significado
To be very excited or busy.
Contexto cultural
In Norway, being 'i hundre' is the standard state for the national day, May 17th. It is one of the few days where loud, public displays of energy are encouraged. Norwegian sports commentators are famous for being 'i hundre.' When a Norwegian athlete wins, the commentary often becomes frantic and high-pitched. While Norwegians value work-life balance, being 'i hundre' at work is seen as a sign of dedication and 'effektivitet' (efficiency). Among young people, 'i hundre' is often replaced by 'gira' or 'hypa,' but 'i hundre' remains a classic that everyone understands.
Add 'helt'
Always add 'helt' (completely) before 'i hundre' to sound more like a native speaker. It adds that extra punch of emotion.
Not for anger
Remember that even though your heart is racing when you're angry, you aren't 'i hundre'—you're 'forbanna'.
