뜻
Moving quickly to be on time
문화적 배경
Punctuality is a sign of integrity. Being late is often interpreted as being unreliable or disorganized. Meetings in Norway start and end exactly on time. 'Vi må skynde oss' is often used to wrap up a topic to stay on schedule. Norwegian buses and trains are generally very punctual. The phrase is most commonly heard near stations. While punctuality is key for appointments, 'skynde seg' is avoided during 'fredagskos' (Friday coziness).
The Reflexive Rule
Always check your subject. If it's 'Jeg', use 'meg'. If it's 'Vi', use 'oss'. This is the #1 thing teachers look for.
The 'Sorry' Buffer
In Norway, saying 'Jeg må skynde meg' is a valid excuse to end a conversation politely if you are on the street.

셀프 테스트
Fill in the correct reflexive pronoun for 'Vi'.
Vi må skynde ___.
The subject is 'Vi' (We), so the reflexive pronoun must be 'oss' (us/ourselves).
Which sentence is correct?
You want to tell your friend to hurry up.
'Du' requires 'deg'. After 'må', we use the infinitive 'skynde', not the present tense 'skynder'.
Complete the dialogue.
A: Bussen drar om to minutter! B: Oi! ________!
Since 'A' says 'Bussen drar' (The bus is leaving), 'B' should respond with 'We must hurry'.
Match the phrase to the situation.
Situation: You are late for a job interview.
Since it is *your* interview, you use the first person singular 'jeg' and 'meg'.
