Significado
Indicating agreement or lack of objection.
Contexto cultural
Norwegians value 'konsensus' (consensus). Using this phrase helps you fit into the social fabric by not being 'vanskelig' (difficult). In Norwegian workplaces, hierarchies are flat. A boss might use 'Gjerne for meg' to show they are listening to an employee's idea. It is often used to avoid 'pinlig stillhet' (awkward silence) when a decision needs to be made. On a first date, it shows you are 'easy-going', a trait highly valued in Norwegian partners.
The 'Y' Sound
Remember that 'Gj' in Norwegian is almost always a 'Y' sound. Don't say 'G-jerne' with a hard G!
Don't be too cold
If you say it with a flat voice and no smile, it can sound like 'I don't care'. Add a little lift at the end to sound friendly.

You can use 'for meg' with other adjectives too: 'Greit for meg', 'Fint for meg', 'Ok for meg'.
Consensus is King
In Norway, being the person who agrees is often better than being the person with the 'best' idea.
