A1 Collocation ニュートラル

Det er mye penger

That is a lot of money

意味

Observing high cost

🌍

文化的背景

Talking about money is generally okay if you are complaining about prices, but bragging about having 'mye penger' is seen as rude due to Janteloven. In Norwegian meetings, 'Det er mye penger' is often used as a polite way to start a negotiation or to suggest that a budget needs to be reviewed. Younger Norwegians might use the slang 'spenn' or 'flus' instead of 'penger', but 'mye penger' remains the standard for serious discussions. The phrase is frequently used in national discourse to describe the wealth of the nation, emphasizing the responsibility of managing such a sum.

💡

The 'Much' Rule

Always remember: Money is a mass in Norway. Use 'mye' just like you would for 'mye vann' (much water).

⚠️

Don't Brag

While you can say 'Det er mye penger' about a price, avoid saying 'Jeg har mye penger' (I have a lot of money) in casual conversation as it can seem arrogant.
