Cultural Insight
Michael: Now it's time for a quick language tip.
Inger: While hyggelig å møte deg is slightly more formal than just hyggelig, you don't need to worry too much about which one you choose to use. If you use either one of these sentences with Norwegian people, they're definitely going to be impressed!
