Meaning of "pleier"? Dear all, What do these two sentences mean? - Pleier du å kjøpe mat der? - Vi pleier ikke å ha matpakke i Italia. I thought the word "pleie" or "pleier" refers to taking care, nursing. So I'm a bit confused because I can't find another translation or explanation. Can you please help me out? Thank you in advance :)

"pleie" can mean "nurse", but it can also mean "to do something as a habit". - Pleier du å kjøpe mat der? --> Do you usually buy food there? - Vi pleier ikke å ha matpakke i Italia --> We typically don't have packed lunch in Italy. Another word with the same meaning is "bruke" (which has this meaning in addition to "use") - Bruker du å kjøpe mat der? --> Do you usually buy food there? - Vi bruker ikke å ha matpakke i Italia --> We typically/usually don't have packed lunch in Italy
