뜻
to be an unexpected setback
문화적 배경
Danes often use this idiom with 'træls' (annoying/tedious) in Jutland. 'Det var en træls streg i regningen' is a very common regional variation. In Danish corporate culture, using this idiom is a way to acknowledge a problem without sounding overly emotional or placing blame on individuals. The idiom reflects the transition from a society of 'oral promises' to one of 'written accounts' in the 18th and 19th centuries. Danish news headlines frequently use this idiom to describe political setbacks, making it essential for anyone following Danish current events.
Use with 'alvorlig' or 'lille'
You can qualify the setback by adding adjectives like 'alvorlig' (serious) or 'lille' (small) before 'streg'.
Don't pluralize
Even if there are many setbacks, we don't usually say 'streger i regningerne'. Stick to the singular idiom.
