Signification
Capturing an image with a camera.
Contexte culturel
Norwegians value 'personvern' (privacy). Always ask 'Er det greit at jeg tar et bilde?' before photographing individuals you don't know. The 'Instagram-vennlig' (Instagram-friendly) culture is huge in Norway, especially for hiking spots like Trolltunga. In Norwegian workplaces, taking photos of whiteboards after a meeting is a standard way to document 'referat' (minutes). According to Norwegian law, the person who 'tar bildet' owns the copyright, but the person *in* the photo has rights to their own image.
The 'Av' Rule
Always use 'av' to say what the picture is of. 'Bilde av [subject]'.
No 'Make'!
Never say 'gjøre et bilde'. It's the most common mistake for beginners.
