A2 Collocation ニュートラル

Tage en beslutning

To make a decision

意味

The act of choosing between different options.

🌍

文化的背景

Danes value 'medbestemmelse' (co-determination). Taking a decision often involves a 'høringsrunde' where everyone's opinion is sought. In Greenlandic Danish, decisions regarding nature and hunting are often discussed with deep respect for the community's elders before being 'taken'. Decisions are often made quickly once consensus is reached, but the 'taking' of the decision is rarely done by one person alone without prior email threads. Danish parents often encourage children to 'tage en beslutning' themselves from a young age to foster independence.

💡

The 'Take' Rule

Always remember: in Danish, you 'take' a decision. If you find yourself wanting to say 'make', stop and think of 'take'.

⚠️

Past Tense Trap

The past tense is 'tog'. Don't say 'tagede'. It's a very common beginner mistake.

Sound more native

Use 'beslutte sig' for personal feelings and 'tage en beslutning' for actions. It sounds more natural.

💬

Consensus

If you are in a group, say 'Skal vi tage en beslutning?' rather than 'Jeg tager en beslutning.' It fits the Danish culture better.

No, this is a direct translation from English and sounds incorrect in Danish. Always use 'tage'.

'Tage' is neutral and common. 'Træffe' is formal and used in professional or legal contexts.

Not really. In slang, people might say 'Jeg napper den' (I'll snatch it) or 'Jeg hopper på den' (I'll jump on it) instead.

You say 'Jeg har ombestemt mig'.

Yes! Norwegian uses 'ta en beslutning' and Swedish uses 'ta ett beslut'. They are very similar.

Yes, but 'vælge' (to choose) is often more common for very small choices.

It is 'beslutninger'.

Mostly, but it is used in many collocations like 'tage tøj på' (put clothes on) and 'tage bussen' (take the bus).

It is 'en beslutning' (common gender).

En svær beslutning.
