Signification
Having confidence in someone or something.
Contexte culturel
The phrase is a key antidote to 'Janteloven'. It allows Norwegians to be supportive without being 'too much'. In Norwegian sports media, 'troen' is used almost like a physical resource that a team can have or lose. Managers use this phrase to empower employees, reflecting the flat hierarchy of Scandinavian work life. Teachers focus on 'mestring' (mastery), and 'ha troen på' is the verbal tool used to foster it.
Use 'Troa' for instant rapport
If you want to sound like a local in Oslo, say 'Jeg har troa!'. It sounds warmer and more casual.
Preposition Alert
Never say 'troen i'. It's a dead giveaway that you're translating from English.
