Significado
A very good day.
Contexto cultural
Danes have a 'solskins-mentalitet'. Because winter is dark, a 'fantastisk dag' usually implies a day where you can sit outside and have a 'fadøl' (draft beer). In Greenland (part of the Danish Realm), a 'fantastisk dag' might specifically refer to a day with perfect visibility for hunting or traveling by dog sled. Given the volatile weather, this phrase is used with genuine relief when the fog clears. Expats often use this phrase to signal they are embracing the local appreciation for the small amount of sun.
Use it for the sun
If you see the sun in Denmark, say this phrase. It's the easiest way to make a Danish friend.
Watch the 'g'
Don't pronounce the 'g' in 'dag'. It's silent. It sounds more like 'da'.
