सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Danes love 'vinterbadning' (winter bathing). They jump into freezing water and then go into a sauna. It's considered very healthy. The phrase is a standard 'icebreaker' (pun intended). It's the most common way to start a conversation with a stranger. Danish parents leave babies to sleep outside in strollers, even when 'det er koldt', believing the fresh air is good for them. In the Danish-speaking parts of Greenland, 'koldt' has a much more extreme meaning than in Denmark.
