Significado
To listen to and learn from feedback.
Contexto cultural
In Norwegian work culture, 'flat structure' means even leaders are expected to 'ta til seg' feedback from subordinates. It is a sign of a 'moderne leder' (modern leader). The concept of 'takhøyde' (room for feedback) is essential. If there is 'lav takhøyde', people are afraid to give feedback because others won't 'ta det til seg'. Norwegian schools focus on 'vurdering for læring' (assessment for learning). Students are graded on how well they 'tar til seg' feedback to improve their next draft.
The 'Sponge' Test
If you can replace the phrase with 'absorb' and it still makes sense, you are using it correctly!
Watch the Pronoun!
Never say 'Jeg tar til seg'. It's the #1 mistake. Always match the pronoun to the person.

Teste-se
Fill in the correct reflexive pronoun (meg, deg, seg, oss, dere).
Vi må prøve å ta til ____ kritikken vi fikk.
The subject is 'Vi' (We), so the reflexive pronoun must be 'oss'.
Which sentence uses the phrase correctly?
A: Jeg tar til meg den nye sofaen. B: Hun tok til seg tipsene fra læreren. C: Vi tar til oss hunden hver dag.
B is correct because tips/advice can be internalized. A sofa is a physical object, and 'taking to oneself' a dog sounds like biological absorption.
Complete the dialogue.
Sjef: 'Du må jobbe raskere.' Ansatt: 'Greit, jeg skal ____.'

Perguntas frequentes

Not exactly. 'Å lære' is the result. 'Å ta til seg' is the process of accepting the information so that you *can* learn.
Technically yes, but it sounds very scientific. Use 'å spise' or 'å drikke' for normal meals.
The opposite is 'å avvise' (to reject) or 'å overse' (to ignore) feedback.
It is neutral. You can use it with your friends, your boss, or in a newspaper article.
