意思
Doing what you promised to do.
文化背景
Trust is a major part of Norwegian culture. If you don't 'holde ord', it can take a very long time to regain someone's trust. In Norwegian business, a verbal agreement is often considered as binding as a written one. Norwegian voters are very sensitive to 'løftebrudd' (broken promises). Politicians who don't 'holde ord' are often punished in the next election. Being 'ordholden' is one of the highest compliments you can give a person in a small Norwegian town.
Keep it simple
Don't try to add 'mitt' or 'ditt'. Just say 'holde ord' for everyone.
The 'et' Trap
Remember that 'holde ordet' means you won't stop talking in a meeting!
