意味
To investigate every possibility thoroughly.
文化的背景
Norwegians value 'dugnad' (community work) and thoroughness. Using this phrase in a work setting signals that you are a reliable team player who doesn't take shortcuts. In the Nordic model, transparency is key. Politicians often use this phrase during public inquiries to reassure citizens that no corruption or mistakes will be hidden. Because so much of Norway is covered in mountains and scree (ur), the literal act of turning stones is something every Norwegian child has done while looking for insects or crabs. Norwegian business culture is relatively flat and egalitarian, but 'grundighet' (thoroughness) is a non-negotiable trait. This idiom is a staple in Norwegian boardrooms.

よくある質問
5 問Not at all! You can use it with friends if you're looking for something lost or trying to solve a puzzle. It just sounds a bit more determined than 'lete'.
You can, and people will understand you, but 'snu' is much more common in modern Norwegian.
Mostly, yes. It's either a search for a physical object, a search for information, or a search for a solution.
A good opposite is 'å ta lett på det' (to take it lightly) or 'å skrape i overflaten' (to scratch the surface).
Yes, 'en stein' is masculine, which is why we use 'hver' (and not 'hvert').
