Feeling romantic love.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Norwegians often use 'forelsket' to describe the 'honeymoon phase'. It is socially acceptable to be very open about this state, even if you are usually private. In the US, 'in love' is often a major milestone. In Norway, 'forelsket' is seen as the natural beginning, while 'elske' is the major milestone. The French 'coup de foudre' is more sudden than the Norwegian 'forelskelse', which can be a slow build-up. In Japan, confessing 'forelskelse' (kokuhaku) is a formal step to start dating. In Norway, it usually happens after dating has already begun.
The 'I' Rule
Always remember: Forelsket + I. Just like you are 'in' a room, you are 'in' love in Norwegian.
Family Faux Pas
Never tell your Norwegian host mother you are 'forelsket' in her cooking. Use 'elsker' or 'liker kjempegodt'.
