🎯

Master the Reflexive

If you want to sound like a native, make sure your reflexive pronoun is lightning fast. Practice 'Jeg-mig', 'Du-dig', 'Vi-os' until it's automatic.

⚠️

Don't Overuse

Because it's a formal phrase, using it for small things like 'ignoring a text message' can sound sarcastic or overly dramatic.
