意味
Asking for clarification.
文化的背景
In Denmark, asking 'Hvad mener du med det?' to your boss is not rude. It shows you are taking the work seriously and want to avoid mistakes. Danes value efficiency in communication. This phrase is a direct way to get to the point, which is preferred over long, polite preambles. During social gatherings, Danes often engage in 'diskussion'. Asking for clarification is a way to keep the intellectual 'hygge' going. If someone is bragging, a dry 'Hvad mener du med det?' can be a subtle way to ask them to justify their self-importance.
Softening the blow
Add 'helt præcist' (exactly) to make the question sound more professional and less confrontational.
The 'Betyder' Trap
Never say 'Hvad betyder du?'. It sounds like you are asking for the person's dictionary definition as an object.
