Cultural Insight[edit | edit source]
In Norwegian culture, numbers play a significant role in various customs and traditions. One interesting fact is that Norwegians have a unique way of expressing time. Instead of saying, for example, "quarter past three," they say "kvart over tre," which means "quarter over three." Similarly, instead of saying "quarter to four," they say "kvart på fire," which means "quarter on four." This quirky expression adds a charming touch to the Norwegian language.
Another cultural aspect to note is the importance of numbers in the Norwegian lottery. Every Saturday, Norwegians eagerly tune in to the televised lottery draw, known as "Lotto," where a series of numbers are randomly selected. Winning the lottery is a dream shared by many Norwegians, and the anticipation of hearing their chosen numbers being called out is an exciting experience.
