意思
To define what is acceptable.
文化背景
In Norway, setting boundaries is closely linked to the concept of 'dugnad' and work-life balance. While you help the community, you are also expected to protect your own health to remain a productive member of society. In American culture, 'setting boundaries' is often associated with individualism and self-care movements. It is frequently used in 'therapy speak' on social media. In Japan, boundaries are often implicit rather than explicitly 'set'. The concept of 'Kuuki o yomu' (reading the air) means you should know the limits without being told. Brazilian culture tends to be more fluid and social. Setting boundaries can sometimes be perceived as being cold or 'unfriendly' (antipático) compared to the Nordic context.
Use 'overfor' for people
When you set boundaries with a person, use the preposition 'overfor' (e.g., overfor sjefen).
Don't say 'legge'
English speakers often say 'legge grenser' because of 'lay down the law', but in Norwegian, it's always 'sette'.
