Bedeutung
To observe the outcomes of efforts.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Danes often use 'at se resultater' in a modest way. Instead of saying 'I am the best', they say 'I am starting to see results'. It's a way to acknowledge success without sounding arrogant. In American English, 'seeing results' is often tied to 'The American Dream' and individual achievement. In Denmark, it's often tied to 'fællesskab' (community) and the success of a group project. While Danes 'see' results, Japanese culture often emphasizes the 'effort' (ganbaru) more than the result itself. 'Seeing results' is a relief, but the process is where the honor lies. Similar to Denmark, Germans value 'Effizienz'. 'Ergebnisse sehen' is a standard requirement in German 'Ordnung' (order). If you don't see results, the system is broken.
Use with 'begyndt at'
This phrase sounds most natural when you say you have 'begun to' see results. It shows you are humble and aware of the process.
Plural is Key
Always use 'resultater' (plural) unless you are talking about one specific test score. Singular 'resultat' sounds unnatural for general progress.

The 'Jante' factor
If you want to sound very Danish, add 'efterhånden' (gradually). 'Jeg ser efterhånden resultater.' It sounds less boastful.
Business Context
In a professional setting, pair it with 'målbare' (measurable). 'Vi ser målbare resultater.'
