意味
Asking for hydration
文化的背景
Tap water is free in all restaurants by law if you are ordering food. It is high quality and perfectly safe. The 'Vannflaske' (water bottle) is a fashion accessory and a practical necessity. Most Norwegians carry one everywhere. In the winter, Norwegians might talk about 'snøsmelting' (melting snow) for water if they are at a primitive cabin ('hytte'). Asking for 'litt' (a little) is a way to be polite and not seem greedy, even if you actually want a whole liter.
Free Water
In Norway, never buy bottled still water in a store if you have access to a tap. It's the same quality!
Litt vs Lite
Be careful! Saying 'lite vann' might make people think you are finished drinking.
