Significado
Feeling regret about an action.
Contexto cultural
The 'Sunday Hike' (Søndagstur) is a cultural institution. Many Norwegians feel 'dårlig samvittighet' if they stay inside on a sunny Sunday, even if they are tired. The concept of 'Dugnad' (community volunteer work). Not showing up for a neighborhood dugnad is a major source of 'dårlig samvittighet'. With the rise of remote work, many feel 'dårlig samvittighet' for taking small breaks at home, fearing they aren't being 'productive enough'. Norway is a leader in EVs, but also a major oil producer. This creates a 'national' bad conscience regarding climate change.
Use 'får' for the onset
Use 'får' (get) when the feeling starts: 'Jeg fikk dårlig samvittighet.' Use 'har' (have) for the ongoing state.
Don't say 'en'
Avoid saying 'en dårlig samvittighet'. It's a common mistake for English speakers. Keep it as 'ha dårlig samvittighet'.
