Friendship.
خلفية ثقافية
Friendship is often tied to 'Hygge'. To be friends means to be invited into the private sphere of the home, which is a big deal for Danes. The 'Jantelov' (Law of Jante) influences friendship; friends are expected to be equals and not brag about their success. Danes are very active on Facebook, and 'at være venner' there is often the first step in a modern friendship. Danish work culture is flat, so it's common to 'være venner' with your boss, though professional boundaries still exist.
The Plural Trick
Always use 'venner' (plural) when saying 'I am friends with...'. It's the most natural way to say it in Danish.
Friend vs. Boyfriend
Don't call your platonic friend your 'kæreste' unless you want a very awkward conversation!
