Contexte culturel
The 'Klarspråk' (Plain Language) initiative in Norway encourages everyone to write texts that are easy to understand, avoiding 'kansellistil' (bureaucratic style). Norwegians are among the most prolific users of digital communication. 'Å skrive en tekst' often implies using apps like Messenger or WhatsApp rather than traditional SMS. In Norwegian universities, there is a strong emphasis on 'kildehenvisning' (referencing sources) whenever you write a text. Norway has a high number of authors per capita. Writing is seen as a respected hobby and profession.
Use 'om' for topics
Always use the preposition 'om' when you want to say what the text is about.
Avoid 'tekste'
Remember that 'å tekste' is for movies, not for your friends!
