Signification
Asking about future intentions.
Contexte culturel
Norwegians love 'struktur'. In work settings, meetings often end with a clear summary of 'veien videre' (the way forward). Asking this phrase shows you respect the group's time and goals. In the hiking culture, 'videre' is a literal term. You are always moving further along a trail. Planning is a matter of safety due to unpredictable weather. Norwegians can be reserved, but they are very logistical. Social events are often planned in 'stages' (vorspiel, byen, nachspiel). This phrase helps navigate those transitions. In international companies in Oslo, this phrase is often used as a direct translation of 'What's the roadmap?'. It bridges the gap between Norwegian and English corporate speak.
Sound like a local
Shorten it to 'Planen videre?' in very casual settings. The 'Hva er' is implied.
Don't over-plan
If you ask this too often in a social setting, you might seem 'stressa' (stressed). Let things flow sometimes!
