to smile at someone

Showing happiness through facial expression.

文化的背景

Smiling at strangers is less common than in the US, but a 'smile til' someone you make eye contact with is a vital social lubricant that maintains 'den danske hygge'. In the US, smiling is often a default social mask. In Denmark, 'at smile til nogen' is usually more genuine and tied to a specific interaction. A smile can sometimes hide embarrassment or anger in Japan. In Denmark, 'at smile til nogen' is almost always a sign of literal friendliness or politeness. There is a Russian proverb: 'Smiling without a reason is a sign of a fool.' Danes are in the middle; they smile 'til' people for a reason (acknowledgment), but not constantly.

You can, but it sounds very formal or poetic. 'Til' is much more natural.

It's both! 'At smile' is the verb, and 'et smil' is the noun.

'Smile' is silent and with the mouth mostly closed. 'Grine' is laughing with sound.

You say 'at smile tilbage'. For example: 'Hun smilede tilbage til mig'.

It is 'smilede'. 'Smilte' is used in Norwegian, but not in standard Danish.

Yes! 'Jeg smiler til min hund' is perfectly normal.

It's not 'rude', but it might be seen as a bit cold or 'træls' (annoying/sad).

You say 'et stort smil' or 'et bredt smil'.

It's an idiom for a very big, happy smile.

Not really. You would say 'Med venlig hilsen' instead of describing yourself smiling.
