Deciding on a place to eat
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Matpakke' is a national institution, but 'spise ute' is the primary social activity for young urban Norwegians. Asking this phrase often leads to a discussion about 'kos'. Oslo has a very strong 'Kebab culture'. If you ask this late at night, the answer is almost certainly a kebab shop in Torggata. Norwegians value consensus. When you ask 'Hvor skal vi spise?', expect a long discussion where everyone says 'Jeg vet ikke, hva vil du?' (I don't know, what do you want?). The decision-making process for this question often happens in a Facebook Messenger group named 'Gutta' or 'Jentene'.
The 'Skavi' shortcut
If you want to sound like a local, blend 'skal' and 'vi' together into 'skavi'.
Word Order
Never say 'Hvor vi skal spise?'. It's a classic beginner mistake. Keep the verb in second place!
