I'm going to sit here very quietly and not offer all the things that pop

Then she would or could say:
Takk, jeg har det bra. I'm fine, thank you.

Thanks to all for the help -- especially Polly ;-).

My friend is Danish though, not Norwegian. Seems the phrase for "How are
you?" is the same in both languages, but "I'm fine thank you" is
different (?) An off line response offered me "Godt, mange tak." for
"Fine, thank you."

Having grown up speaking Danish with my grandparents from Juteland..........
Hvordan har du det? How are you? If it was a formal greeting or to
somebody you don't know the 'du' would be 'de'

Jeg har det fint, tak I'm fine thanks


Godt, mange tak. would translate to Good, thank you very much.

As lots of people have already said, it means "How are you?" However, I
(as a native Danish speaker no less) would argue that the "standard"
reply (when you don't really want to spill all your hassles) is
regional. In some places "Ikke daarligt" (not bad) is much more likely :-)

"How are you?"

but in norge, they pronounce the words; in danmark, they swallow the
endings or talk with a hot potato in their mouth

or some swedes say and norge have a language; danes have a throat
disease :-)
to me dansk sounds like swedish spoken through one on those garlers they
use on tv interviews to mask the voice :-)
