to have a bad feeling

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Norwegians value 'dugnad' (community work) and fairness. If someone avoids their social duties but still benefits from the group, it is said to give others a 'dårlig smak i munnen'. In Norwegian business, transparency is key. A 'hidden agenda' or lack of openness in negotiations is the most common trigger for this phrase in a professional setting. Norwegian journalists frequently use this phrase to describe public reaction to scandals involving the royal family or high-ranking politicians, signaling a breach of public trust. With the rise of 'green guilt' in Scandinavia, this phrase is often used when discussing the ethics of oil production versus climate goals.

⚠️

Don't use for food

If you say this at a restaurant, the waiter will think there is a fly in your soup. Use 'Det smaker ikke godt' for food.
