뜻
To be knowledgeable about a topic.
문화적 배경
Danes value 'faglighed' (professionalism). Saying someone 'har forstand på sit kram' (knows their stuff/craft) is one of the highest compliments you can give a worker. In Greenlandic Danish, this phrase is often used regarding nature and survival skills, such as 'forstand på isen' (knowledge of the ice), which is a matter of safety. There is a shared cultural emphasis on practical knowledge. In Sweden and Norway, similar structures exist, but the Danish 'på' is a distinct marker of the language. In meetings, it is common to defer to the person who 'har mest forstand på' the specific agenda item, regardless of their rank in the company hierarchy.
Use 'god' or 'stor'
To sound more native, add 'god' (good) or 'stor' (great) before 'forstand'. It makes the compliment sound more natural.
The 'På' Rule
Never use 'i' or 'om'. Even if your native language uses 'in' or 'about', Danish strictly uses 'på' here.
