Interesting how you can find an answer to everything. I went to watch a movie at the cinema last week with my friend who is Norwegian. He asked me to dice rate the movie afterwards which I didn’t really get, dice rate?? now I get it aha! Tusen Takk

Great one Dave. I wonder how many more stones still left in your excellent exploration of NO culture. This is a fascinating one. Keep it going. Glad you’re still being surprised.

Interesting! I have a few Norwegian crime novels. Now I understand the dice that always appear on the cover or on the back with the review. Tusen Takk 😎

On the old days we had 6 levels of grades in Norwegian schools:
Stryk (flunk)
Lite Godt (not much good)
Noe Godt (some good)
Godt (good)
Meget Godt (very good)
Særdeles godt (superb)

As you can see, there are 6 grades. So they juat changed it to numbers instead

As for school grades, 6-1 is very similar to the A-F scale used in some English-speaking countries. I’m a teacher, and it never struck me as odd.

My granddaughter told me she was graded six and with my mind on the UK 1 as the highest I was confused but glad to be advised this was very good.

Nice article, David, very interesting.
What to say, as every other country, all of them have something unique. At least, there is logic behind out of six grading. Assume a bit awkward for newcomers in NO, especially for kids in school :).

cheers mate, and keep posting.
