意思
To eat a nice meal
文化背景
The 'Middag' is the only warm meal of the day for many Norwegians. Breakfast and lunch are typically cold 'brødskiver' (slices of bread). This makes 'en god middag' the culinary highlight of the day. In the US, 'dinner' is often eaten much later (18:00-20:00) compared to Norway (16:00-17:00). Americans might find the Norwegian 'middag' time to be more like a 'late lunch'. French dining is often more course-based (starter, main, cheese, dessert). A Norwegian 'god middag' is usually one hearty main dish, perhaps followed by coffee. Japanese meals often focus on many small dishes (ichigyu sansai). The Norwegian 'god middag' is more likely to be a single 'tallerkenrett' (plate dish) like meatballs or salmon.
The 'Takk for maten' Rule
After you 'har en god middag' at someone's house, you MUST say 'Takk for maten' (Thanks for the food) before leaving the table. It is the most important social rule in Norway.
Don't say 'godt middag'
Even though 'mat' is masculine and 'måltid' is neuter, 'middag' is masculine. Stick to 'god middag'.

The Early Bird
If a Norwegian invites you for 'middag' without specifying a time, assume it's around 17:00. If you show up at 20:00, they will have already finished!
