Asking for someone's place of residence.
Contexte culturel
Norwegians are generally private. Asking 'Hvor bor du?' is fine, but asking 'Hvor mye koster leiligheten din?' is considered rude. In all Scandinavian countries, this is a standard, polite question used to establish social context.
Silent H
Remember that the 'h' in 'hvor' is always silent in Norwegian.
V2 Rule
