Significado
Agreeing with a suggestion.
Contexto cultural
Norwegians value consensus and 'flat' social structures. Agreeing with 'Det er en god idé' is a way to show you are a 'lagspiller' (team player). In Norwegian business, decisions are often made through long discussions where everyone's 'gode idéer' are heard before a conclusion is reached. Suggestions to go outside are almost always met with 'Det er en god idé,' reflecting the national obsession with nature. On Norwegian Instagram or Facebook, 'God idé!' is one of the most common comments on DIY or cooking posts.
Add Emphasis
Use 'kjempegod' instead of 'god' to sound more like a native speaker when you really like an idea.
Silent Letters
Remember that the 't' in 'det' and the 'd' in 'god' are usually silent. Don't over-pronounce them!
