뜻
Stating you need to leave immediately.
문화적 배경
Norwegians value directness. Saying 'Jeg må gå nå' is not considered rude; it's seen as being honest about your schedule. Meetings in Norway end strictly on time. Using this phrase at the scheduled end time is expected. Always pair this with 'Takk for nå' or 'Takk for i dag' when leaving a social gathering. In smaller communities, leaving might involve a longer chat about why you are leaving, but the phrase remains the same.
The 'Nesten' Trick
Add 'nesten' (almost) to sound 10x more like a native: 'Jeg må nesten gå nå'.
Don't forget 'å'
Actually, DO forget 'å'! Never say 'må å gå'. It's a common beginner trap.

The Smile
Since the phrase is direct, a small smile or a wave makes it much warmer.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문No, it is the standard polite way to leave. It is much ruder to leave without saying anything.
Yes, 'Jeg må dra nå' is perfectly fine and means the same thing.
It means the verb must be the second part of the sentence. So 'Nå må jeg gå' is correct, but 'Nå jeg må gå' is wrong.
Use the past tense of 'må', which is 'måtte': 'Jeg måtte gå'.
No, never use 'å' after 'må'.
Yes, 'Jeg må stikke' is very common slang among friends.
