    The document discusses the difference between the Norwegian words "synes" and "tror". It states that while both can be translated to "I think", synes is used when speaking from one's own experience of something tried, seen, or heard. Meanwhile, "tror" is used to believe something without direct experience, such as when someone has told you or you've heard it was good/bad/interesting. A few examples are provided to illustrate using synes for a statement about immediate cold weather, while tror would be used for a statement about the cold in a place never visited like Iceland.

    SYNES / TROR

    Jeg synes at...

    Jeg tror at...

    Both of these can be translated to I think that... but there is a difference:

    We use synes when we talk from our own experience(something we’ve tried, seen, heard…),

    and tror when we believe something, we don’t know it because we haven’t seen it or tried it, but maybe
    someone told us , or we’ve heard it was good/bad/interesting etc.

     Jeg synes at det er veldig kaldt i dag. (I think it’s very cold today) talking from my own experience

     Jeg tror at det er veldig kaldt på Island. (I think it’s really cold on Island) I’ve never been there, but I’ve
    heard it’s cold.
    - also when we talk about future, we use tror – Jeg tror at de kommer i morgen(I believe/think
    they are coming tomorrow)

    There are a couple more examples in the textbook, page 128.
