🌍

Contexto cultural

In Denmark, 'god kemi' is often more important than a long CV. Because of the flat hierarchy, being a 'team player' who fits in socially is crucial. Danes are known for being direct but also for avoiding awkwardness. Saying 'der var ingen kemi' is the standard, socially acceptable way to reject someone after a first date. Reality shows like 'Gift ved første blik' (Married at First Sight) have made 'kemi' a national obsession, with experts constantly analyzing the 'kemi' between couples. The use of 'kemi' reflects a society where you are expected to be able to talk to anyone. Having 'god kemi' with the CEO is just as important as having it with the intern.

💡

⚠️

Don't use it for things

Remember, you can't have 'god kemi' with your new shoes or a pizza. It's only for people!
