B1 Collocation خنثی

å legge ned mye arbeid

to put in much work

معنی

To invest significant effort.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The phrase is deeply linked to the 'dugnad' culture, where collective hard work is expected and respected. In American culture, this is equivalent to 'hustle culture', but the Norwegian phrase sounds more humble and less about 'grinding' for money. In Japan, showing effort (ganbaru) is a core social value. The Norwegian phrase captures the 'ganbaru' spirit but in a more task-oriented way. German work culture values 'Gründlichkeit' (thoroughness). 'Legge ned mye arbeid' is the Norwegian way of expressing that thoroughness.
