Bin neulich auf Twitter darauf gestoßen und habe dieses Sprichwort noch nie gehört, geschweige denn, wie es auf Norwegisch heißt oder wo im Land die Leute es verwenden. "wach und lache nicht"??

„oppe og ikke gråter“
Heard (and used) that expression for decades. Basically a term for „I’m doing good“
– Halla. Åssen går det med deg?
– joda, oppe og ikke gråter!
Edit: Eastern part of Norway. Fairly common. Maybe it’s a generational thing.
It’s an expression that some people use and some people don’t, apparently. I had never heard of it until social media started talking about it about a year ago and I’ve yet to actually hear anyone use it in real life.
Never heard of it until it was posted on the internet. Doesn’t roll well off the tongue.
Oppe og ikke gråter.
«Fairly common» is an exaggeration. Some have never heard about it. But people can have a dry humour answer to the basic «I’m good»
I can sometimes say:
How’s it going = hvordan går det?
Joda, jeg er oppe og går = Yes well, I’m up and walking/going
I have not heard this phrase before. Not once. Is this really that common?
Haven’t heard it here in the north-west. I believe it stems from the area west of Mjøsa, called Toten.
„Oppe å itte græt“ in Toten-dialect sounds a lot better in my ears than „Oppe og ikke gråter“ in standard East-Norwegian.
Never seen it before now, kind of funny though.
My mother says it fairly often, but I have rarely heard it from other people. From Akershus btw, so no idea how common it is in the rest of the country.
We use ialot here where I live. I live in Østfold
„Skjer’a Bagera?“
„Ingenting Tingeling!“
Its more common to answer «Kan ikke klage» / «Can’t complain» when asked «How are you?». Maybe something was lost in translation in OP’s post?
„Oppe og ikke griner?“ is something I’ll send to friends when asking them how they are.
It is quite common in the Oslo area. I use it sometimes and so does my friends and family. There are several ways to answer „hvordan går det“, this is just one of them. I usually answer with „joda, det går bra“
Tror «hodet opp og beina ned» er vanligere. «Head up and feet down» i more common i think.
