意思
Working for income.
文化背景
The 'Skattelister' (tax lists) allow anyone to see how much money others 'tjener'. This promotes transparency but also a unique social pressure. The concept of 'Arbeidsglede' (joy of work) suggests that 'å tjene penger' shouldn't be the only motivation for working. Janteloven discourages people from showing off how much they 'tjener'. Humility is a highly valued trait. The 'Dugnad' tradition is work where you explicitly do NOT 'tjene penger', emphasizing community over profit.
Don't say 'lage penger'
In English you 'make money', but in Norwegian 'å lage penger' sounds like you are literally printing counterfeit bills in your basement!
Use 'på' for the source
Always use the preposition 'på' when explaining how you earn: 'tjene penger PÅ YouTube'.
