सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Danes often use this phrase to describe 'originaler' (eccentrics) in small towns. It's a way of showing acceptance of odd behavior without necessarily participating in it. In meetings, this phrase is a polite way to 'park' a difficult topic that would take too much time to discuss immediately. The phrase is deeply rooted in the 19th-century tradition of the 'Bildungsroman' (dannelsesroman), where life is seen as a series of chapters. On Danish Instagram or blogs, you'll see this used as a hashtag #etkapitelforsig to describe a particularly chaotic or amazing day.
Use it for Diplomacy
If you don't like someone's weird behavior but want to be polite, use this phrase. It sounds observant rather than mean.
Don't pluralize
Even if you talk about two people, keep it as 'et kapitel'. 'De er to kapitler for sig' sounds like you are literally talking about a book.
