Cultural Notes

Norwegian Bokmål culture places a strong emphasis on the value of time and punctuality. In work and social settings, it is important to arrive on time and to complete tasks by the expected deadlines. Norwegians also value a healthy work-life balance and prioritize spending time with family and friends outside of work hours.

It is also common for Norwegians to participate in outdoor activities, such as hiking, skiing, and cycling, as a way to stay active and enjoy the natural beauty of their country. The Norwegian concept of "friluftsliv" (open-air living) emphasizes the importance of spending time in nature and connecting with the outdoors.
