뜻
Describing light conditions.
문화적 배경
The 'Mørketid' (Polar Night) occurs north of the Arctic Circle. In places like Tromsø, the sun doesn't rise from late November to mid-January. This makes 'Det er mørkt' a literal, all-day reality. Because it is so dark for much of the year, Norwegian homes are designed with many light sources and large windows to maximize whatever light is available. Norwegians are very strict about using 'refleks' (reflectors) when it is dark. It is common for adults and children to wear reflective vests or tags. The phrase 'Det er mørkt' often sets the tone for Norwegian crime novels, where the long nights provide a perfect backdrop for mystery.

Small Talk
Complaining about how dark it is is a perfectly valid way to start a conversation with a Norwegian in November.
