Asking for the closest store location.
Contexte culturel
Grocery stores are often closed on Sundays. Look for 'Brustad-bua' (small Sunday-open sections) or gas stations. Plastic bags cost money in Norwegian stores to encourage recycling. Bring your own bag (nett)! Pant (recycling deposit) is a big deal. You can return bottles to the 'pantemaskin' in the butikk for money. Alcohol over 4.7% is only sold at Vinmonopolet, not in a regular butikk.
Use 'ligger' for locations
While 'er' is fine, using 'ligger' (lies) sounds more like a native speaker when asking about buildings.
Sunday Closures
Most stores close on Sundays. Look for 'Joker' or 'Bunnpris' as they often have Sunday-open sections.
