意思
To completely change one's position or plan.
文化背景
Norwegians value 'stødighet' (steadfastness). A politician who takes too many 'u-svinger' is often labeled as 'vinglete' (wobbly/indecisive), which is a very negative term in Norwegian politics. The term was popularized globally by Margaret Thatcher. In Norway, this international political language is often adopted directly, showing the influence of English on Norwegian media. The 'Fjellvettreglene' (Mountain Code) makes 'turning around' a positive thing. This creates a unique cultural nuance where 'snu' is good for safety, but 'u-sving' is often bad for credibility.
Use it for impact
In a debate, calling someone's change of mind a 'u-sving' makes it sound more dramatic and potentially inconsistent.
Hyphen check
Always remember the hyphen in 'u-sving'. It's a common spelling error even for some natives!
