Cultural Insight
Michael: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Inger: When talking about your dislikes in Norwegian, you can add the words så godt at the end of the sentence. Together, they make the phrase "so much." Using this will help you sound less direct or like you are completely against something. For example Jeg liker ikke dette så godt. means "I don't like this very much."
