Signification
To decide after much thought.
Contexte culturel
Norwegians value 'konsensus' (consensus). A 'veloverveid beslutning' often implies that you have listened to others before deciding. In Norwegian offices, deciding too fast is seen as a sign of weakness or lack of 'grundighet'. The term is used in the Norwegian Parliament (Stortinget) to show that a law has been properly debated. On Norwegian LinkedIn, this phrase is used to announce major life changes with a sense of gravitas.

10 questionsYes, but 'veloverveid beslutning' is a much stronger collocation. 'Avgjørelse' is often used for smaller, everyday choices.
It is always one word in Norwegian. Writing it as 'vel overveid' is a common spelling mistake.
It depends on the topic. If you are talking about buying a house, it's fine. If you are talking about what to have for dinner, it's too formal.
A 'hastverksbeslutning' (rushed decision) or an 'impulsiv handling' (impulsive act).
It's just the way the language evolved. Think of it as 'taking' a path after looking at all the options.
No, 'valg' is neuter (et valg), so it would have to be 'et veloverveid valg'. But 'beslutning' is more common with this adjective.
Not necessarily, but it implies that the *process* was correct. You can take a veloverveid beslutning that turns out to be wrong later.
In Nynorsk, you would more often say 'ei velovervegd avgjerd'.
It's a diphthong. Start with an 'e' sound and slide into an 'i' sound. Like 'eye' in English but more closed.
Only if you are being serious or slightly formal. In a casual text, just say 'Jeg har tenkt litt'.
