意味
Remarking on the speed of time
文化的背景
Norwegians often use this phrase to talk about the seasons. Because summer is so short, you will hear 'Tiden går fort' constantly in July. In Norwegian offices, saying this is a way to signal that you are productive without sounding like you are complaining. It is a polite way to end a visit. It implies that you enjoyed the company so much that you lost track of time. It is the standard comment made by elders to parents of young children, emphasizing the fleeting nature of childhood.
Use with 'sannelig'
Add 'sannelig' (certainly/indeed) to sound more like a native speaker: 'Tiden går sannelig fort!'
Don't use 'rask'
While 'rask' means fast, it's almost never used with 'tiden'. Stick to 'fort'.
