Signification
Polite closing.
Contexte culturel
Danes value 'ordentlighed' (decency). This phrase is a small but important way to show you are a decent person. Similar to Sweden and Norway, Danes prefer understated politeness over excessive flattery. In Danish business, being direct is good, but being polite is essential. This phrase bridges that gap. Danes don't use titles like 'Mr.' or 'Mrs.' often, so polite phrases like this are even more important.
Keep it simple
You don't need to add anything else. The phrase stands well on its own.
Body language
A slight nod or a firm handshake makes the phrase much more effective.
