معنی
Feeling anticipation for something.
زمینه فرهنگی
Norwegians use 'spent' to avoid sounding 'too much'. It's a modest way to show you care without being loud. Americans often translate 'spent' as 'excited', but 'spent' is actually more 'cool' and 'collected' than the high-energy American 'excited'. In Norwegian meetings, saying 'Jeg er spent på resultatene' shows you are analytical and engaged, not just emotionally happy. On Norwegian Instagram, '#spent' is used for 'teasers' of new products or life changes.
The 'Wait' Test
If you are waiting for a result, use 'spent'. If you are just happy it's happening, use 'gleder meg'.
False Friend Alert
Never use 'spent' to mean you have no money or no energy. You will confuse people!
