Relaxing.
Contexto cultural
The phrase is a verbal anchor for 'Hygge'. It prioritizes emotional safety and comfort over productivity. The Swedish 'false friend' (rolig = funny) is a constant source of jokes between Danes and Swedes. Danish managers use this phrase to empower employees, showing that mistakes are okay as long as one stays calm. Telling someone to 'tage det roligt' can be a way of saying 'don't be so dramatic' in a polite, Danish way.
The 'Dummy Det'
Remember that 'det' is mandatory. You can't just say 'Jeg tager roligt'.
Swedish Trap
Don't say this to a Swede expecting them to calm down; they might think you're telling them to be funny!
