Bedeutung
Making progress towards a goal.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Danes use this phrase to avoid 'over-praising'. It is a form of 'jysk beskedenhed' (Jutlandic modesty) where you acknowledge progress without being boastful. In flat Danish hierarchies, a boss saying this is a strong sign of trust. It means they don't need to micromanage you. Danish teachers use this to encourage 'growth mindset' (vækst-tankegang), focusing on the process of learning. It is a 'cliché' in Danish politics. Every Prime Minister in the last 40 years has used it to describe the economy.
