To respect and attend scheduled commitments.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Punctuality is a sign of respect. Arriving 5 minutes early is considered 'on time', and arriving exactly on time is acceptable. Being late is a breach of 'å holde avtaler'. While punctuality is valued in business, social 'holding of agreements' can be more flexible. 'Sometime' often doesn't mean a specific agreement. Keeping agreements is tied to 'Giri' (social obligation). Breaking an agreement causes significant 'loss of face'. Time is often viewed more fluidly. An 'avtale' might be seen as a goal rather than a strict requirement in social settings.
The 'Sin' Rule
Always remember to use 'avtalen sin' if the subject is keeping *their own* agreement. Using 'hans' or 'hennes' implies they are keeping someone else's agreement!
Don't be late!
In Norway, if you don't 'holde avtalen' regarding time, people will stop inviting you to things. Punctuality is the social glue.

The 'Sometime' Trap
If a Norwegian says 'Vi må ta en kaffe', it's often just a greeting. It only becomes an 'avtale' once a specific time and place are mentioned.
