Bedeutung
To completely agree with someone
Kultureller Hintergrund
The phrase is a linguistic reflection of 'Konsensusdemokratiet' (Consensus Democracy), where the goal is broad agreement across party lines. In Norwegian workplaces, flat hierarchy means that being 'skjønt enige' is more valued than a top-down order. Journalists use this phrase to signal that a debate is effectively over because a consensus has been reached. Using this phrase can be a way to politely end a discussion by affirming that everyone is on the same page.
Use in Writing
This phrase is a 'score booster' in Bergenstesten or other C1 exams because it shows stylistic awareness.
Plurality
Always check that your subject is plural (vi, de, barna) before using 'enige'.
