🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Norwegians value 'moderasjon'. Using 'i stor grad' instead of '100%' shows that you are a balanced and reliable person who doesn't exaggerate. In Norwegian universities, 'i stor grad' is a key phrase for 'hedging'—limiting your claims so they are scientifically defensible. In Norwegian corporate life, being 'saklig' (objective) is vital. This phrase helps maintain a professional distance from emotional claims. Norwegian journalists use this phrase to report on trends without sounding biased or sensationalist.

🎯

The 'Hedge' Master

Use this phrase in exams to avoid being 'too certain'. Examiners love it when you show nuance.

⚠️

Don't overdo it

If you use it in every sentence, you will sound like a legal document. Mix it with 'stort sett'.

Yes! 'I stor grad er vi enige.' Just remember to put the verb in the second position.

Only if you are being ironic or discussing something very serious. Otherwise, use 'stort sett'.
