Significado
Scheduling a meeting.
Contexto cultural
Punctuality is sacred. If you 'lager en avtale' for 14:00, you are expected to be there at 13:59. Being late is seen as a sign of disrespect for the other person's time. In Norwegian business, 'avtaler' are often made far in advance. It is not uncommon to 'lage en avtale' for a meeting three or four weeks away. Spontaneous visits are rare in Norway. Most social interactions are 'avtalt' (agreed upon) beforehand. Even close friends will 'lage en avtale' before dropping by. The phrase 'En avtale er en avtale' (A deal is a deal) is a core cultural value, emphasizing that once a plan is made, it should not be changed.
Use it for seriousness
If you want to show a Norwegian you are serious about meeting, use this phrase instead of just saying 'vi ses'.
Don't 'lage' a table
Remember to use 'bestille' for restaurants, not 'lage en avtale'.
