Signification
To be an inherent part or characteristic of a matter.
Contexte culturel
Danes value 'flad struktur' (flat structure), but they also value logic. Using this phrase allows someone to exert authority without sounding like a boss—the logic is the boss, not the person. In Nordic meetings, 'saglighed' is king. If you can prove something is 'i sagens natur', you win the argument because it's seen as an objective truth. Danish law is based on civil law traditions where the 'nature of the case' often dictates how gaps in legislation are filled. Danish universities emphasize 'problem-oriented' learning. Students are taught to look for the 'nature' of a problem before seeking a solution.
Use 'ligger' for extra points
While 'er' is correct, using 'ligger i sagens natur' makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
Don't overdo it
If you use this phrase in every second sentence, you will sound like a parody of a philosophy professor.
