Hallo alle sammen! I'm moving the first steps into learning Norwegain language.
I have a couple of questions:
-is it correct to say " Å være flink i noe " ?
-is "i" the Norwegian preposition to be used to say that somebody is good "at" something (is "i" the Norwegian version of "at") ?

Answer

If "noe" is an activity it is correct to say "flink i noe", yes.
For instance "Han er flink(/god) i fotball". But you can also say "Han er flink(/god) til å spille fotball"
 But we don't have an equivalent of "at" in Norwegian, so sometimes it is "i" and sometimes it is "på", which can be quite difficult at times for foreign speakers.
