Signification
Setting expectations for someone.
Contexte culturel
In Danish companies, 'at stille krav' is part of the 'flat hierarchy'. It is expected that both parties set expectations for each other. Danish pedagogy emphasizes 'ansvar for egen læring' (responsibility for own learning). Teachers 'stiller krav' to encourage independence. There is a high level of social trust. When someone 'stiller et krav', it is usually taken seriously and not seen as an insult. Danes value directness. It is common to 'stille krav' about communication styles early in a relationship to avoid 'drama'.
The Preposition Rule
Remember: Krav TIL (person) and krav OM (thing). This is the #1 way to sound like a native.
Don't say 'Sætte'
Even though English says 'set demands', saying 'sætte krav' is a dead giveaway that you are translating from English.
