意思
Stating that you need to leave.
文化背景
Norwegians are very direct. Saying 'Jeg må dra nå' isn't considered rude; it's considered honest and efficient. In the US, people often 'soften' the exit with more small talk before actually leaving, whereas Norwegians might leave immediately after saying the phrase. In Japan, leaving can be a long process of multiple bows and apologies. The Norwegian phrase is much more abrupt by comparison. The British might use 'I'd better be off' which is similar in tone to the Norwegian 'Jeg må nesten dra nå'.
The 'Nesten' Trick
Add 'nesten' (almost) to sound 50% more Norwegian. 'Jeg må nesten dra nå' is the ultimate polite exit.
Don't forget the 'Takk'
In Norway, leaving without saying 'Takk for nå' or 'Takk for meg' is considered very cold.

常见问题
10 个问题Yes, but 'gå' specifically means walking. If you are taking a car, bus, or train, 'dra' is more accurate.
No, it's neutral. As long as you say it with a smile and follow up with a 'Ha det bra', it's perfectly polite.
Because 'må' is a modal verb. Modal verbs in Norwegian never take the 'å' marker before the following infinitive.
The past tense is 'Jeg måtte dra nå' (though 'nå' would usually change to 'da' - 'Jeg måtte dra da').
It's a bit spoken-style. In an email, you'd more likely say 'Jeg må avslutte nå' (I must finish now).
It literally means 'to pull' or 'to drag'.
Yes, but it's very informal. Use it with friends, not your boss.
That's different! You say 'Jeg må på do'. You don't use 'dra' there.
Usually, but you can say 'Nå må jeg dra' for emphasis.
Yes, it can mean to go on a trip, e.g., 'Jeg skal dra til Spania'.
