Choosing a course of action.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Decision-making in Norwegian workplaces is often consensus-based. It is common for a manager to ask for everyone's input before 'taking a decision'. Being 'handlekraftig' (able to take decisions) is a highly valued trait in Norwegian leadership, balancing the need for consensus. When friends are deciding on activities, they often use 'skal vi lande på noe?' as a more informal way to say 'shall we take a decision?'. In the Norwegian court system, the word 'beslutning' refers specifically to procedural rulings, while 'dom' refers to the final judgment.
The 'Make' Trap
Never say 'gjøre en beslutning'. It is the most common mistake for English speakers. Always use 'ta'.
Use 'om'
When you want to say what the decision is about, always use the preposition 'om'. E.g., 'beslutning om ferie'.
