Weight loss journey
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The concept of 'Slankekur' (slimming cure/diet) is very popular in January. You will see 'at tabe sig' in every magazine and newspaper during this time. It is generally acceptable to discuss weight loss goals with colleagues during lunch, as health is seen as a positive personal project. Doctors are very direct. If you are overweight, they will tell you 'Du skal tabe dig' without much sugar-coating, as they value efficiency and health facts. The hashtag #vægttab is huge on Danish Instagram, where people share their 'tabe sig' journeys with a focus on 'hverdagsmad' (everyday food).
Don't forget the pronoun!
Without 'mig/dig/sig', you are just dropping things on the floor.
Use with 'kilo'
Always put the number of kilos after the pronoun: 'Jeg har tabt mig 5 kilo.'
