Not knowing the answer.
زمینه فرهنگی
Danes often use 'i tvivl' to avoid appearing too arrogant or 'bedrevidende' (know-it-all). It's a social lubricant. In Danish meetings, saying 'Jeg er i tvivl' is an invitation for others to contribute, reflecting a flat hierarchy. Danish students are encouraged to express doubt. It is seen as a part of the critical thinking process. Using 'i tvivl' is a common way to 'soften' a refusal to an invitation without being rude.
The 'Om, Om' Rule
Don't be afraid to say 'om' twice. 'Jeg er i tvivl om (about), om (if) det virker.' It sounds very native!
Avoid 'Hvis'
Never use 'hvis' after 'i tvivl'. Even though English uses 'if', Danish requires 'om'.
