सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Norwegians value 'ro og fred' (peace and quiet). Speaking loudly in public, especially on public transport, is often seen as 'uoppdragent' (badly behaved). In contrast to Norway, American culture is often perceived by Norwegians as being very 'høylytt'. What is a normal speaking volume in the US might be considered 'å snakke høyt' in Norway. Similar to Norway, Japan has strict social codes against speaking loudly in public. The concept of 'omotenashi' and 'wa' (harmony) discourages disruptive volume. In these cultures, speaking loudly is often associated with passion and engagement rather than being rude. The 'neutral' volume is significantly higher than in Scandinavia.
The 'Høyere' Rule
If you want someone to increase their volume, always use 'høyere'. 'Snakk høyt' sounds like a general command, while 'Snakk høyere' is a specific request.
Avoid 'Høylytt' for Friends
Don't tell your friend they are 'høylytt' unless you are actually annoyed with them. It sounds like a criticism of their personality.
