例文 メモとヒント bekymret 30秒で
解説 bekymret in your Level:
At the A1 level, you learn to express basic feelings. 'Bekymret' might be a bit advanced, but you can use it in simple sentences like 'Jeg er bekymret' (I am worried). You don't need to worry about complex prepositions yet. Just focus on the fact that it describes a feeling of being 'not happy' about a situation. At this stage, you might confuse it with 'trist' (sad) or 'redd' (scared), but 'bekymret' is specifically about thinking that something bad might happen. You can use it when you are waiting for someone who is late or when you have a small problem. It's a useful word to know because it helps you communicate your needs and feelings to others in a very direct way. Try to remember the sound: 'be-SHYM-ret'. The 'y' sound is like the 'ee' in 'see' but with rounded lips. Practice saying 'Jeg er bekymret' to your teacher or friends when you don't understand something—it shows you care about your learning!

At the A2 level, you start to connect your feelings to reasons. You can now use the preposition 'for' to say what you are worried about. For example: 'Jeg er bekymret for familien min' (I am worried about my family). You also begin to understand that 'bekymret' is an adjective that doesn't change much in the singular. You might encounter it in simple stories or news headlines. You should also learn the opposite: 'rolig' (calm). Being able to say 'Jeg er ikke bekymret' (I am not worried) is just as important as saying you are. You will notice that 'bekymret' is often used with the verb 'å være' (to be) or 'å se ut' (to look like). For example, 'Du ser bekymret ut' (You look worried). This is a great way to start a conversation and show empathy towards others in Norwegian. You are moving beyond yourself and starting to notice the emotions of those around you.

You should also be familiar with the reflexive verb 'å bekymre seg' (to worry oneself) and the noun 'en bekymring' (a worry).

This shows a significant jump in your ability to handle abstract topics and engage in more meaningful Norwegian conversations.

例文 メモとヒント

bekymret 30秒で

  • Bekymret means 'worried' or 'concerned' in Norwegian. It is a very common word for expressing anxiety about people, events, or general situations.
  • It is technically an adjective/participle. Use 'for' for people and specific things, and 'over' for more general situations or trends.
  • You will hear it in news, healthcare, and daily conversations. It is a key word for showing empathy and social responsibility.
  • Common mistakes include using the wrong preposition (like 'om' instead of 'for') or confusing the adjective with the noun 'bekymring'.

The Norwegian word bekymret is an essential adjective used to describe the emotional state of being worried, anxious, or concerned. While the user prompt identifies it as a noun, in Norwegian, bekymret is technically the past participle of the verb å bekymre (to worry), functioning as an adjective. If you are looking for the noun 'worry' or 'concern', that would be en bekymring. Understanding bekymret is a gateway to expressing complex emotions beyond basic happiness or sadness, making it a cornerstone of B1-level proficiency.

Emotional Depth
It signifies a state where the mind is preoccupied with potential negative outcomes or the well-being of others. It is less intense than 'angst' (dread) but more focused than 'urolig' (restless).
Social Context
Norwegians use this word frequently in both personal and professional settings. It is a polite way to show empathy or to signal that a situation requires attention. For example, a doctor might be 'bekymret' about a patient's symptoms.

Jeg er veldig bekymret for fremtiden til barna mine.

The word carries a weight of responsibility. Unlike 'redd' (scared), which often implies a physical reaction to immediate danger, bekymret is cognitive. It involves thinking about the future, evaluating risks, and feeling a sense of unease about things that have not yet happened or are currently unfolding. In Norwegian culture, which values stability and social welfare, being bekymret often relates to health, finances, or the environment.

Læreren virket bekymret da hun så på karakterene våre.

Degrees of Worry
You can modify the intensity with adverbs: 'litt bekymret' (a bit worried), 'ganske bekymret' (quite worried), or 'alvorlig bekymret' (seriously worried).

Vi bør alle være bekymret over klimaendringene.

Using bekymret correctly requires paying attention to the prepositions that follow it. The most common preposition is for, followed by over and occasionally om. Each changes the nuance of the concern slightly, though 'for' is the safest bet for most learners.

Bekymret for
Used when you are worried about a person, a specific object, or a future event. Example: 'Jeg er bekymret for deg' (I am worried about you).
Bekymret over
Typically used for abstract situations, developments, or trends. Example: 'Han er bekymret over utviklingen i økonomien' (He is worried about the development in the economy).

Moren var bekymret for at sønnen ikke hadde kommet hjem ennå.

When you want to say you are worried 'that' something will happen, you use the construction bekymret for at.... This introduces a subordinate clause. It is a very common structure in Norwegian news and daily speech.

Er du bekymret for eksamen i morgen?

Reflexive Use
While 'bekymret' is the adjective, you will often hear the verb 'å bekymre seg' (to worry oneself). 'Ikke bekymre deg!' means 'Don't worry!'.

Hun har ingen grunn til å være bekymret.

In Norway, bekymret is a high-frequency word across multiple domains. From the evening news (Dagsrevyen) to a coffee chat with a friend, you will encounter it constantly. It reflects a society that is deeply invested in planning, safety, and social cohesion.

The News & Politics
Politicians often say they are 'bekymret' about rising prices, unemployment, or international conflicts. It serves as a formal signal that the government is monitoring a situation closely.
Healthcare & Welfare
Health professionals use it to discuss patient outcomes. There is also a formal document called a 'bekymringsmelding' (notice of concern) sent to Child Welfare Services (Barnevernet) if someone is worried about a child's well-being.

Legene er bekymret for pasientens helsetilstand.

In daily life, you'll hear it in parenting ('Jeg er bekymret for at hun ikke spiser nok'), in relationships ('Hvorfor ser du så bekymret ut?'), and in the workplace ('Sjefen er bekymret for tidsfristen'). It is a word that bridges the gap between private feelings and public discourse.

Det er ingen vits i å være bekymret på forhånd.

Furthermore, in Norwegian literature and film, bekymret is often used to depict the 'Nordic Noir' atmosphere—characters who are internally troubled or worried about the dark secrets of their community.

Even though 'bekymret' translates easily to 'worried', English speakers often stumble on the grammar and the specific prepositions associated with it. Understanding these pitfalls will make your Norwegian sound much more natural.

Confusing Adjective and Noun
Avoid saying 'Jeg har en bekymret'. You must say 'Jeg er bekymret' (I am worried) or 'Jeg har en bekymring' (I have a worry).
Wrong Preposition
English speakers often try to use 'om' (about) because 'worried about' is the English standard. While 'om' is sometimes used, 'for' is the standard Norwegian preposition for being worried about someone or something specific.

Feil: Jeg er bekymret om deg. Riktig: Jeg er bekymret for deg.

Another mistake is the confusion between bekymret and nervøs. While they are related, 'nervøs' is usually about performance (giving a speech, taking a test), whereas 'bekymret' is about the outcome or safety. If you say you are 'bekymret' for a speech, it sounds like you think the speech might cause a disaster, rather than just feeling butterflies in your stomach.

Mange er bekymret for at de skal miste jobben.

Lastly, remember the plural form. If you are talking about a group, you should use bekymrede if it's used as an adjective before a noun (e.g., 'De bekymrede foreldrene'), though in the predicate ('De er bekymret'), the singular form is often used in modern spoken Norwegian, though 'bekymret' is technically the participle.

To truly master Norwegian, you need to know when to use bekymret and when to choose a synonym that fits the context more precisely. Norwegian has a rich vocabulary for expressing shades of anxiety and concern.

Engstelig
This word is closer to 'anxious'. It implies a more fearful or timid type of worry. If someone is 'engstelig', they might be prone to worrying in general.
Urolig
Literally 'un-quiet' or 'restless'. It is used when you have a physical sense of unease or can't sit still because of worry. 'Jeg er urolig for resultatet' implies a nervous pacing.
Redd
Means 'afraid' or 'scared'. Use this for more intense, immediate fear. 'Jeg er redd for hunder' (I'm afraid of dogs) vs 'Jeg er bekymret for hunden min' (I'm worried about my dog's health).

Han ble engstelig da han hørte lyden fra kjelleren.

When you want to sound more academic or formal, you might use betenkt (thoughtful/doubtful) or skeptisk (skeptical). If you are 'bekymret' about a plan, you might also be 'skeptisk' to its success.

Jeg er litt urolig i kveld, jeg vet ikke helt hvorfor.

In summary, while 'bekymret' is your workhorse word for worry, keep 'engstelig' for anxiety, 'urolig' for restlessness, and 'redd' for fear in your linguistic toolkit.

豆知識

The root 'kummer' in German still means grief or sorrow. In Norwegian, the word has shifted more towards the cognitive act of worrying about the future rather than just feeling grief.
