意思
Expressing a lack of knowledge.
文化背景
Norwegians value honesty over 'saving face.' Admitting you don't know something is seen as a sign of a reliable person. In the north, the dialect version 'Eg veit ikkje' or 'Æ veit ikkje' is used with a very distinct rising intonation. In a Norwegian workplace, 'Jeg vet ikke' is usually followed by '...men jeg skal finne det ut' to show initiative. On Norwegian forums like Kvinneguiden or Reddit, 'vet ikke' is often used to start a comment that offers a guess or a different perspective.
Add 'helt'
Saying 'Jeg vet ikke helt' (I don't quite know) makes you sound more like a native speaker and less like a robot.
The V2 Rule
Never say 'Jeg ikke vet.' The verb must always be the second thing in your sentence!
