뜻
to build an opinion about something.
문화적 배경
Danes value 'førstehåndsindtryk' (first impressions) but are culturally prone to 'se folk an' (watching people for a while) before forming a final judgment. This phrase is a polite way to say you are still in that observation phase. In meetings, it is common to start with a 'rundvisning' (tour) specifically so guests can 'danne sig et indtryk' of the company. It is considered good hospitality. Political commentators often use this phrase to remain neutral. Instead of saying a politician is bad, they say 'Det indtryk, man danner sig, er...' (The impression one forms is...), which sounds more objective.
Use it to buy time
If someone asks for your opinion and you're not ready, say: 'Jeg skal lige bruge lidt tid på at danne mig et indtryk.' It sounds very professional.
Reflexive check
Always double-check your reflexive pronoun. 'Vi danner *os*' is the most common mistake for B2 learners.

2 질문Neither is 'better', but 'danne sig' sounds more active and intellectual. Use it in writing and formal speech.
Yes, but it sounds a bit formal. 'Jeg danner mig et indtryk af menuen' sounds like you are a food critic.
