Bedeutung
To have a series of successes.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Denmark, the 'stime' is often discussed in national media as a psychological state. When the national team is in a 'god stime', the whole country experiences a collective lift in mood. Using this phrase in a meeting is a way to show results without sounding arrogant. It attributes some of the success to 'momentum' rather than just individual ego. Many Danish idioms come from the sea. Understanding 'stime' helps you understand other phrases like 'at være på dybt vand' (to be in deep water/trouble). Students use this to describe 'exam season' success. Since Danish exams are often oral, a 'god stime' of grades builds the confidence needed for the next oral exam.
Use it in Sports
If you want to sound like a native Danish sports fan, use this phrase whenever a team wins 3+ games.
Preposition Alert
Never say 'på en stime'. It's a dead giveaway that you're translating from English.
