意思
to hide one's disappointment
文化背景
In Denmark, directness is valued, but not at the expense of 'hygge'. If you are a guest, you are culturally obligated to 'holde gode miner' to ensure the host feels successful, even if the event is subpar. In Greenlandic culture, emotional restraint is often a sign of maturity. Showing too much anger or disappointment can be seen as childish, making this idiom very relatable in a Greenlandic-Danish context. Danish workplace hierarchy is flat, but professionalism is strictly maintained. 'At holde gode miner' is essential during mergers or restructuring to prevent panic among staff. Danish sportsmanship (fairplay) dictates that you congratulate your opponent warmly. Even if the referee made a mistake, a player is expected to 'holde gode miner'.
Use it in Job Interviews
If asked how you handle failure, saying you can 'holde gode miner til slet spil' shows you have high emotional intelligence and professionalism.
Don't over-pluralize
It is always 'slet spil' (singular), never 'slette spil', even though 'miner' is plural.
