뜻
Facing a tough choice.
문화적 배경
Danes value 'konsensus'. Making a 'svær beslutning' often involves a long process of talking with everyone involved to ensure everyone is heard. In Danish offices, a manager saying 'Det er en svær beslutning' is often a sign of respect for the employees, showing that their input was considered. Danes can be very indecisive about small things like where to eat, often using this phrase to avoid being the one who dictates the plan. Politicians use this phrase frequently to signal that they are taking 'ansvar' (responsibility) for unpopular but necessary actions.
