at gøre det klart

to make it clear

To explain something so it is understood.

🌍

문화적 배경

Danes value 'hygge', but in professional life, they value 'effektivitet'. Making things clear is seen as a way to avoid wasting time, which is highly respected. In Greenlandic Danish, communication can sometimes be more indirect than in Denmark. However, 'gøre det klart' is still used in official and legal contexts. Norwegians use 'gjøre det klart' similarly, but they also use 'gjør rede for' (account for) very frequently in formal settings. Swedes use 'klargöra'. While 'göra det klart' exists, 'klargöra' is the more standard single-word verb for this action.

The 'At' Connection

90% of the time, this phrase is followed by 'at'. Practice it as a single unit: 'gøre det klart at...'

⚠️

Don't overdo it

If you say 'Jeg vil gøre det klart' too much, you sound like a politician avoiding a question!

Directness is Kindness

In Denmark, making things clear is considered more polite than being vague and causing confusion later.
