Fun fact
‘Uffda’ is a good word to know when watching sports with Norwegians. It means a sometimes disappointed, sometimes goodhumoured, sometimes patronising and other times a comforting ‘whoops’. Use, for instance, when the opposite team scores; to say to a friend supporting the opposite team when your team scores; when your ski hero breaks his ski pole; or when you realise you won’t get into Fotballfest because it’s already too crowded.
