Casually mention that you have to get up early tomorrow.
You just say:kom dæ te hælvete ut di førrbainna sjarkhora/kukskaill.It depends on the gender of your visitor
“I’m sleepy” and then yawn.
Ah yes the Norwegian Good bye
“Well I should get going soon”
“Okay”
This happens three times over the course of two hours. The only difference is the amount of time some words take to come out usually the real goodbye is almost like talking in slow motion
I am a English guy who’s lived here ten years and this is how I’ve interpreted it
Spoken on a tired out breath “Neeei, får vel…” while standing up.
I usually say that me and my wife are planning to put on a slideshow from our Italy trip and they are welcome to stay, and it is about 1500 slides..
The same but “ja vel…”
I simply yawn while saying “hoo hoo hoo”, if this doesn’t work I yawn a little louder “while saying “ai ai ai”.
“Neeeeei…”
When my mum, who can keep a conversation whit herself, visits someone it might go something like this:
22:42: «Skal ikke du på jobb i morra tidlig?»/“don’t u have work tomorrow morning?”
Says yes and keep talking
23:34: «Du skulle opp tidlig i morra, ikke sant?»/“you where supposed to wake up early, right?”
U can imagine what happens
23:57: «nå må du komme deg hjem»/“get on ur way home already”
This step will be repeated at least three more times for about the last 20 minutes
With my grandma she will call her, and as polite as my granny is will let her talk to her to 1-2AM
I usually just say: “Im sorry, but I have to throw you out now.”
Everyone laughs polite and leave.
Depends on the setting. If it’s one of my usual dinner parties I don’t ask them to leave. I just tell them I’m going to bed, and ask that the last one out blows out the candles.
If it’s a friend stopping by we’re close enough it’s simply “vet du hva? Jeg må begynne å tenke på å legge meg.” “Hey, think I have to go to bed soon.” Then we spend next half hour or so concluding the chats of that day.
‘oh look at the clock ‘
Oh i say på tide og komme seg for helvete ut av huset
I usually say that I was thinking about calling it a night in 20/30 minutes. That gives time for the conversation to come to an end and no one has to hurry out the door.
Jeg sier egentlig «jeg tenkte å runde av om 20/30» og aldri fått noen negative reaksjoner til dette
Just breath heavy and look at the clock.
Big breath in, and then you say “off, nei, lang dag”
You rub your knees while saying «Nei, skun tenkt på det a tru…» (translates to something like «We should probably think about it»)
“Nei… ehm..!” While looking at your spouse with raised eye-brows. They will usually get the hint.
For spouses that don’t get the hint: “No.. then I guess its time to…..”
They usually leave the morning after. If not, I guess you’re married now.
After the visitor is done telling their story just say “ja, nei….” 😆
Turn off the lights, go to bed and casually say that your cat attacks people at night.
«Neeeeeei, vi skal vel ikke tenke på det?» slår aldri feil på Sørlandet
Just say that you need to get the children off to sleep or help them with their homework.
Your guest may think you strange if you don’t have any children.
I read this, and thought “They only do this in the midwest?”
This is universal for “Alright, it’s time to fuck off!”
Later som man ser på klokka på armen (selv om du aldri bruker klokke) og så sier, “ja nei”
What is this visitors you speak of?
I just pop out of the room and come back brushing my teeth.
We used to hang out at my friends basement in Sweden.
When it was time he would just stand up and say “You can leave now if you want to”. Then he would just go up the stairs and we could leave by the cellar door.
I just… tell them. People who visit me are friends, they know I don’t mean anything bad saying “So, I’m all talked out now” or “this will be your last cup of tea”. They appreciate the honesty, I appreciate them not overstaying their welcome.
You dont say anything,you just hope they have enough social skills to know their visiting time
In sweden they say “Well, no babies are being made here!” Then start to pack up
If it’s welcome guests they have to regulate themselves, and either take your going to bed, going to work, doing house chores, and such as a hint to get out *or* join in.
It it’s unwelcome guests, you just refrain from offering them coffee. They will not sit down then.
Honestly, I just kinda tell’em 😅 usually I’ll add some reason which may or may not be true.
“oh shit, sorry guys, I’m gonna have to ask you to skedaddle, I gotta do my workout routine and head to bed, got an early start tomorrow”
*watches hockey and plays video games the next 3-4 hrs, then head to bed*
starting to tidy up, also works
The best variant I ever encountered was at a small party, where the hostess politely started bringing out our coats. She asked things like “who does this belong to?” and thanked us profusely and genuinely for coming, as we took our coats and guided ourselves toward the door.

Exactly the same, actually.
Just say «Ja……»
Oh dear, we’ve run out of beer.
