意味
Being friendly or nice.
文化的背景
The 'Flink' Culture: Danes value being 'flink' as a way to maintain 'hygge'. It's about not being a burden and contributing to a positive social atmosphere. In Danish offices, being 'flink' is often valued as much as technical skill. Flat hierarchies mean you must be able to talk 'flinkt' to everyone from the CEO to the janitor. Danish service is often described as 'flink' rather than 'servile'. A waiter will be kind and helpful, but they treat you as an equal, not a master. In small Danish towns, there is a high expectation to be 'flink' to everyone you meet on the street (e.g., saying hello). In Copenhagen, it's more about being 'flink' by giving space.
The 'At' Rule
When asking for a favor, always use 'være flink at' + verb. It sounds much more natural.
German Speakers Beware
Forget the meaning 'fast'. In Denmark, you are 'flink' with your heart, not your feet!
