Vite is a useful Norwegian verb that means 'to know' something, specifically facts or information. It's often used when you have knowledge about something specific. You'll use it to talk about knowing facts, understanding information, or having learned something.
For example, if you know a particular piece of information, you would use 'vite'. It's different from 'kunne', which implies knowing how to do something or having a skill, or 'kjenne', which is about knowing people, places, or being familiar with something.
