意味
Expressing satisfaction.
文化的背景
Norwegians use 'glad for' to express gratitude for 'the last time' they met. It's common to say 'Jeg er glad for sist' (I'm glad for last time) as a way to acknowledge a previous pleasant encounter. The concept of 'hverdagsglede' (everyday joy) often involves being 'glad for' small, mundane things like a good cup of coffee or a clear sky, reflecting a cultural focus on mindfulness. In Norwegian workplaces, 'glad for' is used to give 'soft' positive feedback. It's less hierarchical than 'I approve' and more about mutual appreciation. When invited to a dinner, it is polite to say you are 'glad for invitasjonen' (glad for the invitation) both when you accept and when you arrive.
The 'At' Rule
If you follow 'glad for' with a verb, you almost always need 'at'. 'Jeg er glad for at du kom.'
Silent D
Don't pronounce the 'd' in 'glad'. It makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
