Like everywhere, 'å kaste bort tiden på mobilen' is a major topic of discussion in Norwegian media regarding mental health.

⚠️

Don't be too rude

Telling someone 'Du kaster bort tiden min' is quite direct and can be seen as aggressive. Use it carefully!

Yes, but 'sløse bort tiden' is more common. 'Sløse' usually implies wasting resources like money or energy.

Both are correct. 'Tiden' is more formal/standard, 'tida' is more informal/dialect-based.

You say 'bortkastet tid'. For example: 'Filmen var bortkastet tid'.

Yes, very often. It's used to complain about inefficient meetings or processes.

No, you don't 'waste a person'. You waste time *on* a person ('kaste bort tid på noen').

The opposite is 'å bruke tiden godt' (to use time well) or 'å utnytte tiden'.

Yes, the meaning is identical, but the literal 'throw away' imagery is stronger in Norwegian.

Yes: 'Jeg kastet bort tiden'.

Only if you are describing a process, not if you are accusing the boss of wasting your time!
