意味
Admitting limited language proficiency.
文化的背景
Danes are very pragmatic. If you say you don't understand, they will switch to English to make the interaction efficient. This is not a slight on your skills, but a desire to be helpful. In Greenland, Danish is an official language but many prefer Greenlandic. Saying 'Jeg forstår ikke meget' might be met with a switch to Greenlandic or English depending on the speaker's preference. Faroese people speak Danish well, but it is their second language. They are often very patient with Danish learners because they understand the struggle of bilingualism. This region has a distinct dialect (Sønderjysk). Even native Danes from Copenhagen might say 'Jeg forstår ikke meget' when listening to a heavy Southern Jutland accent!
Add 'endnu'
Add 'endnu' (yet) to the end: 'Jeg forstår ikke meget endnu'. it sounds more positive and shows you are learning!
Don't over-apologize
Danes don't expect you to speak Danish perfectly. You don't need to say 'undskyld' every time you use this phrase.
