Norwegian culture places a strong emphasis on emotional honesty and directness. Norwegians are known for expressing their emotions openly, but they also value personal space and privacy. It is common for Norwegians to discuss their feelings and emotions with close friends and family members, but they may be more reserved with acquaintances or strangers.

Norwegian Bokmål has a variety of idioms and expressions related to emotions. For example, "å være i godt humør" means "to be in a good mood," and "å være i dårlig humør" means "to be in a bad mood." Norwegians also use the phrase "å ha sommerfugler i magen" (literally, "to have butterflies in the stomach") to describe the feeling of being nervous or excited.

It's worth noting that Norwegian Bokmål has both formal and informal ways of expressing emotions. The formal expressions are used in more professional or formal settings, while the informal expressions are used among friends and family members.
