معنی
Feeling anger.
زمینه فرهنگی
Norwegians value 'indre ro' (inner peace). Being 'sint' in public is often seen as embarrassing. People might express anger through 'stivt blikk' (a stiff stare) rather than shouting. In the US, expressing anger can be seen as being 'assertive' or 'honest'. This can sometimes clash with the more reserved Norwegian style. In Japan, showing anger (especially to superiors) is a major taboo. The concept of 'Honne' (true feelings) vs 'Tatemae' (public face) means 'å være sint' is kept hidden. Anger is often seen as a passing, expressive emotion that doesn't necessarily ruin a relationship. It is 'varmt' (warm) rather than 'kaldt' (cold).
The 'Sur' vs 'Sint' Rule
If you are just 'sour' or grumpy, use 'sur'. Save 'sint' for when you are actually mad.
Preposition Alert
Never say 'sint med'. It's always 'sint på' for people!
