stolt 30秒で
- 'Stolt' means proud or satisfied.
- Used for personal or others' achievements.
- Combine with 'å være' (to be) or 'av' (of).
- Plural form is 'stolte'.
- Meaning
- The Norwegian adjective 'stolt' describes the feeling of being proud or having a sense of satisfaction. It's a positive emotion that arises when you achieve something, see someone you care about succeed, or feel good about a particular situation or accomplishment. It conveys a sense of self-worth and often a feeling of quiet joy or fulfillment.
- Usage
- You would use 'stolt' to express your own pride, such as when you complete a difficult task, receive an award, or achieve a personal goal. It's also commonly used when observing the achievements of others, like a parent feeling 'stolt' of their child's graduation or a friend being 'stolt' of another's promotion. The word can be applied to people, but also to things like a country being 'stolt' of its history or a company being 'stolt' of its products. It's a versatile word that captures a deep sense of positive self-regard or admiration for something worthy.
- Nuance
- While 'stolt' generally signifies positive pride, in some contexts, it can also imply a sense of dignity or even a touch of arrogance if the pride is excessive or unwarranted. However, in everyday A1 usage, it primarily denotes a wholesome feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. It's about recognizing and appreciating value, whether it's your own or that of something or someone else.
Jeg er veldig stolt av deg!
- Example Scenario
- Imagine a child has just learned to tie their shoelaces for the first time. They show their parent, beaming with accomplishment. The parent would likely say, 'Så flink du er! Jeg er så stolt!' (You are so good! I am so proud!). This is a classic A1 usage of the word, expressing genuine satisfaction in a small, personal victory.
Hun følte seg stolt over arbeidet sitt.
- Broader Application
- Beyond personal achievements, 'stolt' can also be used for collective pride. For instance, during national holidays or sporting events, a Norwegian might feel 'stolt' of their country or their national team. This collective pride is a common human emotion and 'stolt' is the perfect word to express it in Norwegian. It connects individuals to a larger group through shared positive sentiment and accomplishment. It emphasizes belonging and shared success, reinforcing community bonds.
Vi er stolte av resultatene.
- Basic Structure
- The most common way to use 'stolt' is with the verb 'å være' (to be). You'll often see sentences structured as 'Jeg er stolt' (I am proud), 'Du er stolt' (You are proud), 'Han/Hun/Den/Det er stolt' (He/She/It is proud), 'Vi er stolte' (We are proud), 'Dere er stolte' (You all are proud), and 'De er stolte' (They are proud). Notice the plural form 'stolte' when referring to more than one person. This is a fundamental pattern for expressing pride.
- With Prepositions
- To specify what someone is proud of, you often use the preposition 'av' (of). The structure becomes 'å være stolt av noe/noen' (to be proud of something/someone). For example, 'Jeg er stolt av arbeidet mitt' (I am proud of my work) or 'Foreldrene er stolte av barnet sitt' (The parents are proud of their child). This prepositional phrase is crucial for adding detail to your expression of pride.
- Attributive Use (Less Common at A1)
- While less common at the A1 level, 'stolt' can also be used attributively, meaning before the noun it describes. In this case, it would modify the noun directly, agreeing in gender and number. For instance, 'en stolt far' (a proud father) or 'et stolt øyeblikk' (a proud moment). However, for beginners, sticking to the 'å være stolt' construction is generally easier and more frequent.
- Adverbial Use
- You can also use 'stolt' to describe how an action is performed, often implying a certain demeanor. For example, 'Han gikk stolt inn i rommet' (He walked proudly into the room). This usage adds a layer of description to the verb, showing the manner in which someone carries themselves due to their pride.
Han er stolt av bilen sin.
- Example Sentences
- 1. Jeg er stolt av mine foreldre. (I am proud of my parents.)
2. De er stolte av resultatene sine. (They are proud of their results.)
3. Læreren var stolt av elevenes fremgang. (The teacher was proud of the students' progress.)
4. Hun følte seg stolt etter å ha fullført maratonet. (She felt proud after completing the marathon.)
5. Barnet presenterte tegningen sin, stolt. (The child presented their drawing, proudly.)
- Family Gatherings
- 'Stolt' is a very common word in family settings. Parents frequently express pride in their children's achievements, big or small. You'll hear it when a child gets good grades, wins a sports game, learns a new skill, or even just behaves well. For example, a grandparent might say to a grandchild, 'Jeg er så stolt av deg for at du hjalp til i dag!' (I am so proud of you for helping out today!). This is a heartwarming and frequent use of the word.
- School and Education
- In educational environments, teachers often use 'stolt' to acknowledge student effort and success. A teacher might tell the class, 'Vi er stolte av alt dere har lært denne uken.' (We are proud of all you have learned this week.). Students might also feel 'stolt' of their own accomplishments or their classmates' successes.
- Workplace
- In a professional context, 'stolt' can be used to express satisfaction with a project completed, a deal closed, or a team's performance. A manager might say to their team, 'Jeg er veldig stolt av innsatsen dere har lagt ned.' (I am very proud of the effort you have put in.). This fosters a positive work environment and acknowledges contributions.
- National and Cultural Events
- During national celebrations like Syttende Mai (Norway's Constitution Day), or when the national sports teams achieve success, you'll hear people expressing collective pride. Phrases like 'Vi er stolte nordmenn!' (We are proud Norwegians!) are common. This shows how 'stolt' can unite people through shared identity and achievement.
- Personal Milestones
- When individuals reach personal milestones, such as buying a house, getting married, or graduating, they often feel and express being 'stolt'. 'Jeg er stolt over å endelig ha fullført studiene mine!' (I am proud to have finally completed my studies!) is a sentiment you'd commonly encounter.
Gratulerer med dagen! Vi er stolte av Norge.
- Plural Agreement
- A common mistake for learners is forgetting to change 'stolt' to 'stolte' when referring to multiple people. For example, saying 'Vi er stolt' instead of the correct 'Vi er stolte'. Always remember to use the plural form when the subject is 'vi' (we), 'dere' (you all), or 'de' (they).
- Using 'Stolt' for 'Proudly' (Adverb)
- Sometimes learners might try to use 'stolt' as an adverb directly after a verb without proper conjugation or understanding. While 'stolt' can function adverbially (e.g., 'Han gikk stolt'), it's more common at the A1 level to use it predicatively with 'å være'. For instance, mistaking 'Han gikk stolt' for 'Han var stolt' (He was proud) when the intention was to say 'He walked proudly'. It's important to distinguish between the adjective describing a state and the adverb describing an action.
- Confusing with Similar Concepts
- Learners might confuse 'stolt' with words that express similar but distinct emotions. For example, mistaking it for 'glad' (happy) or 'lykkelig' (happy/blessed). While pride can be accompanied by happiness, 'stolt' specifically refers to the satisfaction derived from achievement or worthiness. It's not just general happiness; it's happiness tied to a reason for self-esteem or admiration.
- Overuse or Misapplication
- At the A1 level, it's important to use 'stolt' appropriately. Overusing it for minor things or applying it in situations where it doesn't fit can sound unnatural. For instance, saying you are 'stolt' of a very mundane task might be an overstatement. Focus on using it for genuine accomplishments or admirable qualities.
Incorrect: Vi er stolt av huset. Correct: Vi er stolte av huset.
- Glad (Happy)
- 'Glad' is a general term for happiness. You might be 'glad' to see someone, 'glad' it's Friday, or 'glad' about good news. While pride can involve happiness, 'glad' doesn't carry the same weight of accomplishment or self-worth. You can be 'glad' without feeling 'stolt'. Example: 'Jeg er glad for at du kom!' (I am happy you came!) vs. 'Jeg er stolt av din innsats.' (I am proud of your effort.)
- Fornøyd (Satisfied/Pleased)
- 'Fornøyd' means satisfied or pleased. It's often used when expectations have been met or when you are content with a situation or outcome. It's a milder feeling than 'stolt'. You can be 'fornøyd' with a meal, but you'd be 'stolt' of graduating. Example: 'Jeg er fornøyd med karakteren min.' (I am satisfied with my grade.) vs. 'Jeg er stolt over å ha fått den!' (I am proud to have gotten it!).
- Begeistret (Excited/Enthusiastic)
- 'Begeistret' describes a feeling of excitement and enthusiasm, often about something upcoming or a new experience. It's about anticipation and energy. 'Stolt' is about a feeling derived from past or present achievement. You might be 'begeistret' about a trip, but you'd be 'stolt' of your travel accomplishments. Example: 'Hun er begeistret for den nye jobben.' (She is excited about the new job.) vs. 'Hun er stolt over å ha fått den.' (She is proud to have gotten it.).
- Selvtillit (Self-confidence)
- 'Selvtillit' is a noun meaning self-confidence. While pride ('stolt') can stem from self-confidence, and self-confidence can be bolstered by proud moments, they are distinct. Self-confidence is a general belief in one's own abilities, while pride is a specific emotional response to achievement or recognition of worth. You can have 'selvtillit' without having a specific reason to feel 'stolt' at that moment.
How Formal Is It?
豆知識

間違えやすい

'Glad' (happy) is a general feeling of pleasure or contentment. 'Stolt' (proud) is a specific feeling of satisfaction derived from one's own or another's achievements, accomplishments, or qualities. You can be 'glad' to see a friend, but you'd be 'stolt' of their graduation.
Jeg er glad for å se deg, og jeg er stolt av jobben du har gjort.
Both convey a sense of positive feeling towards an outcome.
'Fornøyd' (satisfied/pleased) implies that expectations have been met or that a situation is acceptable. It's a state of contentment. 'Stolt' (proud) implies a higher level of self-esteem or admiration, usually linked to a significant achievement or quality that is deemed worthy of admiration.

Both relate to honor and positive regard.
'Ærefull' (honorable/glorious) is often used to describe situations, deeds, or positions that bring honor and respect, often on a grand scale.

語源
The Norwegian word 'stolt' has ancient roots, tracing back to Old Norse 'stǫltr'. This, in turn, is believed to derive from Proto-Germanic '*stultaz', meaning 'proud' or 'stiff'. The concept of pride being linked to a 'stiff' or unyielding bearing is common in many Indo-European languages.
元の意味： Proud, stiff, erect.
Indo-European > Germanic > North Germanic > Old Norse文化的な背景
Generally, 'stolt' is a positive word. However, excessive or unwarranted pride can be perceived negatively, bordering on arrogance ('hovmodig'). The context and tone are important.
While English has 'proud', the Norwegian usage of 'stolt' can sometimes feel more understated in its expression, even when the feeling is strong. Norwegians might express pride more subtly than in some other cultures, but the word itself is central to conveying this emotion.

You use 'stolte' when referring to more than one person (we, you plural, they) or when 'stolt' modifies a plural noun (though this is less common at A1). For example: 'Jeg er stolt' (I am proud), but 'Vi er stolte' (We are proud).
While 'stolt' primarily describes a feeling in people, it can be used metaphorically or figuratively for things that represent significant achievements or embody great qualities. For example, a nation might be 'stolt' of its history or a company might be 'stolt' of its product. However, for beginners, it's best to focus on using it for people.
'Stolt av' means 'proud of'. It's the most common way to specify what someone or something is proud of. For instance, 'Jeg er stolt av deg' means 'I am proud of you'.
Generally, 'stolt' is a positive emotion. However, like pride in any language, it can become negative if it's excessive or unwarranted, leading to arrogance ('hovmodig'). But in its common usage, especially at the A1 level, it signifies positive pride.
While 'stolt' is an adjective, it can sometimes function adverbially, meaning 'proudly'. For example, 'Han gikk stolt inn i rommet' (He walked proudly into the room). However, for learners, focusing on the adjectival use with 'være' is more common.
The noun form of 'stolt' is 'stolthet', which means 'pride'.
No, the correct preposition to use with 'stolt' when indicating the object of pride is 'av'. So, you should say 'Jeg er stolt av deg' (I am proud of you).
A common mistake is forgetting to use the plural form 'stolte' when the subject is plural (e.g., 'vi', 'de'). Another is confusing it with general happiness ('glad') or mere satisfaction ('fornøyd').
Norwegians tend to express pride with a degree of humility. While 'stolt' is used for significant achievements, personal milestones, and national events, it's usually not done in an overly boastful manner. It's a shared positive emotion that can foster community and self-respect.
