المعنى
to harm while trying to help
خلفية ثقافية
The term 'curlingforældre' (curling parents) is often used alongside 'bjørnetjeneste' to describe a generation of parents who over-help their children. There is a heated debate in Denmark about 'pendulord'. Many older Danes get genuinely upset when 'bjørnetjeneste' is used to mean a big favor. Danish schools focus on 'selvstændighed' (independence). A teacher doing too much for a student is seen as a failure of this pedagogical goal.
The Double Meaning
Be very careful with this word. If you use it to mean 'a big favor' with an older person, they will think you are uneducated. If you use it to mean 'harmful help' with a teenager, they might be confused.
Use it in Politics
This is a great word to use if you want to sound like a sophisticated political commentator in Danish.
