Signification
To continue after a difficult experience.
Contexte culturel
Norwegians often use this phrase to signal that they don't want to talk about a problem anymore. It's a polite way to close a difficult topic. In American culture, 'moving on' is often associated with 'closure', a concept that is less emphasized in Norway. The concept of 'Gaman' (endurance) often precedes 'moving on'. You endure the hardship before you stand up again. Moving on is often framed within the context of fate (Inshallah) and community support rather than just individual will.
The Reflexive Rule
If you forget 'seg', you sound like you are talking about a physical object coming further. Always include it for emotions!
Don't Rush It
Using this phrase too early in a conversation about grief can seem insensitive. Listen first, then use it.
