Significado
Being physically fit or healthy.
Contexto cultural
The 'Birkebeinerrennet' is a famous ski race where thousands of Norwegians compete to prove they are 'i god form'. There is a social concept called 'Janteloven', but being 'i god form' is one of the few things you are allowed to be proud of. In many cultures, 'form' refers to the technique of an exercise, but in Norwegian, it almost always refers to the state of the body. Many Norwegian offices have 'bedriftsidrettslag' (company sports teams) to help employees stay 'i god form'.
Use with 'komme'
If you want to say you are 'getting' fit, use the verb 'å komme' (to come) instead of 'å bli'.
Silent 'd'
Remember that the 'd' in 'god' is silent. Pronouncing it makes you sound like a textbook from the 1800s!
