Bedeutung
Staying with someone else.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Værtindegave' (hostess gift) is essential. Never show up 'på besøg' for a meal empty-handed. The phrase 'Tak for sidst' is the mandatory follow-up to being 'på besøg'. In Greenlandic Danish contexts, 'på besøg' often involves 'kaffemik', a large open-house social gathering. Removing shoes when you are 'på besøg' is a universal rule in Danish homes.
The 'Hos' Rule
Always use 'hos' for people. It's the most common mistake for English speakers.
Don't say 'i besøg'
Even if your language uses 'in', Danish always uses 'på'.
