Signification
Wishing someone a good time.
Contexte culturel
Danes use 'God fornøjelse' as a polite way to end a conversation when they know the other person has plans. It avoids the awkwardness of a long goodbye. In Danish offices, it's common to say 'God fornøjelse' to a colleague leaving for a seminar or even a lunch break. It shows a flat hierarchy where everyone's time is respected. It is almost mandatory for service staff (bus drivers, shopkeepers, waiters) to say this. Not saying it can sometimes be perceived as slightly cold or 'un-Danish'. On Instagram or Facebook, 'God fornøjelse' is a very common comment on photos of food, travel, or events.
The 'Med' Rule
Always use 'med' if you want to specify what they should enjoy. 'God fornøjelse med [ting]'.
Not for Funerals
Never use this for serious or sad events. It implies a level of fun that is inappropriate for somber occasions.
