Significado
To value or be grateful for something.
Contexto cultural
In Norway, expressing gratitude is often done through actions or this specific phrase rather than excessive verbal praise. It aligns with the value of 'nøkternhet' (being down-to-earth). In Norwegian flat-hierarchy workplaces, this phrase is used by both managers and subordinates to show mutual respect. It is less about 'thanks' and more about 'recognition'. When invited to a 'dugnad' (community volunteer work), using this phrase to thank the organizers is highly regarded. Norwegians often open gifts in front of the giver. Saying 'Jeg setter virkelig pris på denne' while looking at the gift is the expected social script.
Use 'Stor' for Impact
Always add 'stor' (Jeg setter stor pris på...) in professional emails to sound more sincere and fluent.
Don't forget 'PÅ'
The phrase is incomplete without 'på'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers.
