Significado
Making others look forward to something.
Contexto cultural
Norwegians value 'beskjedenhet' (modesty). Creating high expectations for yourself is often seen as risky or boastful. It is common to 'underdrive' (understate) achievements. In Norwegian workplaces, 'forventningsavklaring' (clarification of expectations) is a key concept. It is better to create clear, realistic expectations than vague, positive ones. Norwegian media is known for 'å skru opp forventningene' before major national events like the Eurovision Song Contest (Melodi Grand Prix) or skiing championships. When inviting people to a party in Norway, being too specific about the 'luxury' can be seen as 'å skape forventninger' that make the host nervous. Many prefer a 'ta det som det kommer' (take it as it comes) attitude.
Use with Adjectives
Always pair this with an adjective like 'høye' (high) or 'lave' (low) to sound more like a native speaker.
Avoid 'Gjøre'
Never say 'gjøre forventninger'. It is the most common mistake for English speakers.
