Signification
Really enjoying something.
Contexte culturel
Danes use 'vild med' to break through the typical Scandinavian reserve. It's a socially acceptable way to show high emotion. The TV show 'Vild med dans' (Dancing with the Stars) has made the phrase even more iconic in the last two decades. Younger generations often use 'vildt' as a general intensifier for everything, not just 'vild med'. In the flat hierarchy of Danish offices, saying you are 'vild med' an idea is a common way to give positive feedback to a boss.
Add 'helt' for native flair
Saying 'Jeg er helt vild med det' makes you sound much more natural and enthusiastic.
Watch the plural
Don't forget to say 'vilde' if you are talking about yourself and a friend (Vi er vilde med...).
