意思
Asking for a word's translation.
文化背景
Norwegians value clarity. If you don't understand a word, it's better to ask than to pretend. It shows you are 'lærevillig' (willing to learn). In Norwegian culture, the 'du' form is used for everyone, including teachers. You don't need to be overly formal when asking this question. Because of the many dialects, even Norwegians use this phrase with each other when they hear a regional word they don't know. In Norwegian gaming or tech circles, English loanwords are common. People might ask this to see if there is a Norwegian equivalent.
Point and Ask
If you are in a shop, you can just point at an item and say 'Hva betyr det ordet?' while looking at the label. It's very effective!
Betyr vs Mener
Never say 'Hva mener det ordet?'. This is the most common mistake for English speakers. Words don't have opinions, so they don't 'mene'!
