Signification
To receive something offered.
Contexte culturel
When receiving a gift, it is a strong cultural norm to open it immediately and show your reaction to the giver. This is the physical manifestation of 'at tage godt imod'. Flat hierarchy means that 'taking against' criticism is expected from everyone. Being defensive is seen as a lack of 'social intelligence'. In Greenlandic-Danish contexts, 'taking against' guests often involves 'kaffemik', a social gathering where the act of receiving is communal and extended over many hours. Denmark is becoming a cashless society. You will frequently see signs saying 'Vi tager ikke imod kontanter' (We don't accept cash).
The 'Godt' Trick
Always add 'godt' (well) when talking about people. 'Vi tog godt imod dem' makes you sound like a native speaker.
Don't forget the 'i'
Saying 'tage mod' sounds like you are missing a tooth. Always include the 'i'!
