意思
To know the correct solution already
文化背景
The phrase is a staple in 'Debatten' on NRK, Norway's flagship political talk show. It is the ultimate 'get out of jail free' card for politicians under fire. The 'fasit' culture is strong in Scandinavia. Students are often encouraged to check their own work using the fasit, promoting independence but also making the 'fasit' a symbol of absolute truth. This phrase helps enforce the cultural norm that you shouldn't think you are better than others. By saying someone 'sits with the fasit', you are knocking them down a peg. In Norwegian 'post-mortem' meetings, using this phrase can help lower tension and prevent a blame culture.
Use it to win arguments
If someone is criticizing your past choices, this phrase is the most polite way to tell them to shut up because they didn't know better at the time.
Don't say 'hånden'
While 'hånden' is correct Norwegian, saying 'fasiten i hånden' makes you sound like a student literally holding a book, not a sophisticated speaker using an idiom.
