뜻
to buy a round of drinks.
문화적 배경
In traditional Danish 'bodegas', there is often a bell. If you ring it, you are signaling that you 'er en omgang' for the entire bar. Be careful—this can be very expensive! On the first Friday of November, Tuborg releases its Christmas beer. This is the ultimate night for 'omgange' in Denmark. Danes love playing 'Snyd' in bars. The loser of the game is almost always 'en omgang'. If you accept a drink from someone who 'var en omgang', it is considered very rude not to buy one back later. This is the 'social debt' of Danish drinking.
The 'Snyd' Strategy
If you play the dice game 'Snyd', always agree on who 'er en omgang' BEFORE the game starts to avoid arguments.
Don't be a 'Gratist'
A 'gratist' is someone who drinks the rounds others buy but never 'er en omgang' themselves. This is a quick way to lose Danish friends!

You can use this for coffee too! 'Jeg er en omgang kaffe' is a very nice gesture in an office.
