뜻
Directing one's sight
문화적 배경
The 'Norwegian Stare' is a myth; Norwegians actually avoid eye contact with strangers to respect their 'boble' (bubble). Young Norwegians use 'se på' when talking about 'scrolling' through TikTok or Instagram. Asking a boss to 'se på' something is a polite way to ask for feedback without being demanding. Watching the Northern Lights (nordlys) is a spiritual experience where 'se på' is used with reverence.
The TV Rule
Always use 'på' with TV. 'Jeg ser TV' sounds like you are looking at the physical plastic box, not the show.
Staring
If you 'ser på' someone for too long in Norway without smiling, they might think you are angry or weird.
