Asking for contact details
Contexto cultural
Norwegians are very digital. Asking for a number is often just to 'Vipps' someone money. If you don't have Vipps, you are missing out on a huge part of Norwegian social life. In Norwegian business, hierarchy is flat. It is perfectly normal to ask a senior manager for their phone number directly if you are working on a project together. Despite being digital, Norwegians value privacy. Don't be offended if someone prefers to give you their email or LinkedIn instead of a phone number initially. When giving a number, Norwegians group the 8 digits. Usually: XX XX XX XX or XXX XX XXX. Listen for the rhythm!
The Vipps Shortcut
If you're at a party and want someone's number, just ask 'Er du på Vipps?'. It's the most natural way to exchange numbers today.
Gender Matters
Don't say 'din telefonnummer'. It's a common mistake that marks you as a beginner. 'Nummer' is always neuter.
