开始练习 例句

§ What 'omsorg' Means

The Norwegian word omsorg is a noun that translates directly to 'care' or 'concern' in English. However, like many words, its full meaning and usage are a bit broader than a simple one-word translation can convey. It encompasses a range of feelings and actions, from a deep emotional concern for someone's well-being to the practical act of providing for their needs.

DEFINITION
Care or concern. This can be emotional, practical, or both. It implies looking after someone or something.

Think of omsorg as the umbrella term for actively looking after someone or something with a sense of responsibility and warmth. It's not just about providing basic necessities, but also about the emotional investment in another's welfare.

§ When to Use 'omsorg'

People use omsorg in various contexts. It's common when talking about:

  • Parental care: The care parents give to their children.
  • Elderly care: The care provided to older people.
  • Animal care: Looking after pets or other animals.
  • Healthcare: The care patients receive from medical professionals.
  • General concern: Showing concern for someone's well-being, even without direct physical care.

Here are some examples to help you see how omsorg is used in sentences:

Barn trenger mye omsorg fra foreldrene sine. (Children need a lot of care from their parents.)

In this example, omsorg refers to the nurturing and attention children receive.

Hun viste stor omsorg for sine gamle foreldre. (She showed great concern for her elderly parents.)

Here, omsorg highlights her emotional and practical support for her parents.

Hjemmesykepleien gir god omsorg til pasientene. (Home healthcare provides good care to the patients.)

This example demonstrates omsorg in a professional, healthcare context.

Det er viktig å vise omsorg for miljøet. (It is important to show concern for the environment.)

You can even show omsorg for abstract concepts like the environment, meaning you care about its well-being and act to protect it.

Understanding when to use omsorg helps you express a deeper level of human connection and responsibility in Norwegian. It's a fundamental word for describing positive interactions and support within families, communities, and society at large.

需要掌握的语法

Nouns ending in -sorg are often feminine, though 'omsorg' can be used as a common gender noun in modern Norwegian. In older or very formal contexts, it might be strictly feminine.

Hun viste stor omsorg. (She showed great care.)

When 'omsorg' is used in the indefinite form as a direct object, it does not change its form.

Han trenger omsorg. (He needs care.)

In the definite singular, 'omsorgen' is used, regardless of whether it's treated as feminine or common gender.

Omsorgen for barna er viktig. (The care for the children is important.)

When expressing 'care for someone/something', the preposition 'for' is typically used after 'omsorg'.

De viste omsorg for hverandre. (They showed care for each other.)

'Omsorg' can be part of compound nouns, often indicating a specific type of care.

Hjemmesykepleien tilbyr eldreomsorg. (Home nursing care offers elder care.)

容易混淆

omsorg vs Omsorg

Many English speakers confuse 'omsorg' with direct translation of 'care' in all contexts. However, 'omsorg' specifically refers to the act of caring for someone or something, often with a sense of responsibility and nurturing. It's not typically used for 'I don't care' (jeg bryr meg ikke) or 'take care' (ha det) in the farewell sense.

'Omsorg' is about providing care, looking after, or showing solicitude. It implies a deeper, more active role than just 'concern.'

Hun viste stor omsorg for sine gamle foreldre. (She showed great care for her elderly parents.) Barn trenger omsorg. (Children need care.) De jobber med omsorg for eldre. (They work with care for the elderly.)

omsorg vs Å bry seg (om)

This verb phrase also translates to 'to care (about/for),' but its usage is broader and more common in expressions of emotional concern or indifference.

While 'omsorg' is a noun referring to the act of caring, 'å bry seg (om)' is a verb expressing the state of caring or being concerned. You can have 'omsorg' for someone, and you can 'bry deg om' someone.

Jeg bryr meg ikke om hva han sier. (I don't care what he says.) Bryr du deg om meg? (Do you care about me?) Han bryr seg mye om dyrene. (He cares a lot about the animals.)

omsorg vs Å ta vare på

This phrase directly means 'to take care of,' leading to overlap with 'omsorg.' However, 'å ta vare på' can be more general, referring to safeguarding or looking after something, not just people.

'Å ta vare på' is a verb phrase for the act of preserving, looking after, or safeguarding. While 'omsorg' is often about nurturing living beings, 'å ta vare på' can apply to objects or even memories.

Du må ta vare på passet ditt. (You must take care of your passport.) Hun tar vare på de gamle bøkene sine. (She takes care of her old books.) Kan du ta vare på blomstene mens jeg er borte? (Can you take care of the flowers while I'm away?)

omsorg vs Bekymring

This word means 'concern' or 'worry,' which can be similar to the emotional aspect of 'omsorg' but is distinct.

'Bekymring' is primarily about worry or anxiety regarding something, a feeling of unease. 'Omsorg' is the active provision of care or a deep, protective concern, not just a feeling of worry.

Jeg føler en stor bekymring for fremtiden. (I feel a great concern for the future.) Hans bekymring var tydelig. (His worry was evident.) Det er ingen grunn til bekymring. (There's no reason for concern.)

omsorg vs Pleie

This noun and verb ('å pleie') can also mean 'care,' particularly in a professional or medical context, overlapping with aspects of 'omsorg.'

'Pleie' often refers to nursing, caregiving, or tending, especially in a structured or professional setting (e.g., sykepleie - nursing care). While it is a form of 'omsorg,' 'omsorg' is a broader, more general term for caring.

Hun jobber med pleie av pasienter. (She works with the care of patients.) De gir god pleie til dyrene på gården. (They give good care to the animals on the farm.) Denne planten trenger spesiell pleie. (This plant needs special care.)
