Asking about funds.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Danes use MobilePay for almost everything. Asking this phrase often leads to someone checking their phone app rather than a physical wallet. The 'Jante Law' makes it rude to ask about salary or total wealth. This phrase should only be used for immediate, practical needs. In contrast to Denmark, Americans are often more open about how much things cost or how much they have saved, though it still varies by region. Germans still use a lot of cash. Asking this in a German shop is more likely to involve physical coins and bills than in Denmark.
