معنی
Holding a view on a subject.
زمینه فرهنگی
Norwegians value 'ytringsfrihet' (freedom of speech) and generally expect people to have an opinion on social issues. However, they also value 'saklighet' (being matter-of-fact). In Norwegian flat hierarchies, even junior employees are encouraged to 'ha en mening' in meetings. Silence can sometimes be interpreted as a lack of engagement. The phrase 'Hva er din mening?' is a ubiquitous call-to-action on Norwegian news sites, encouraging democratic participation. From a young age, Norwegian children are taught to 'ha egne meninger' (have their own opinions) rather than just memorizing facts.
The 'Om' Rule
Always use 'om' after 'mening' when you want to say what the opinion is about.
Mening vs Betydning
Don't use 'mening' for dictionary definitions. That's 'betydning'.
