Definition

The Norwegian exclamation for when something startles, surprises, or mildly terrifies you—best delivered at volume levels that concern your neighbors. While British "oi" is for getting someone's attention, Norwegian "oi" is what you yell when someone tells you shocking news or a spider appears. Think of it as Scandinavia's contribution to the universal language of alarm.

Example Usage

"Oi! You can't just tell me you're moving to Australia next week!"
