뜻
To base something on a specific fact
문화적 배경
In Norwegian bureaucracy, 'å legge til grunn' is a shield. By stating what facts are being used, the bureaucrat shows they are following the law, not their own feelings. Norwegian universities emphasize 'gjennomsiktighet' (transparency). Students are taught to 'legge til grunn' their sources clearly to avoid plagiarism and bias. The Norwegian legal system is based on 'fri bevisførsel'. The judge must explicitly state which evidence they 'legger til grunn' in the written verdict. Flat hierarchy in Norway means that decisions are often made through consensus. 'Å legge til grunn' is used to find common ground before a decision is made.

Don't over-use
If you use this in every sentence, you will sound like a robot or a lawyer. Mix it with 'vi mener' or 'vi tror'.
