Signification
Considering all perspectives.
Contexte culturel
Danish schools prioritize 'group work' and 'dialogue'. Students are often graded on their ability to 'se en sag fra flere sider' during oral exams. The 'Law of Jante' (Janteloven) discourages thinking you are better than others. Seeing things from others' sides is a way to maintain social equality. Danish workplace culture is very non-hierarchical. A boss will often ask employees to 'se sagen fra flere sider' before making a final decision. The Danish legal system is built on the principle of 'kontradiktion', meaning both sides must be heard. This phrase is the layperson's version of that legal principle.
Use it in exams
If you are taking the PD3 (Prøve i Dansk 3) exam, using this phrase during the oral part will instantly boost your grade for 'nuance' and 'vocabulary'.
Don't overdo it
If you say this about every single tiny thing, you might sound like you can't make up your mind.
