뜻
Asking for a suggestion.
문화적 배경
Danes value honesty over salesmanship. If you ask a waiter for a recommendation, they will often tell you if a dish is 'just okay' or if another is much better. In Danish meetings, asking 'Hvad anbefaler du?' to a subordinate is common and encourages 'medarbejderindflydelse' (employee influence). It is polite to follow a recommendation if you asked for it, or at least acknowledge it warmly, as it is seen as a personal favor of knowledge. Recommendations are often sought to ensure the 'hygge' of an evening. A bad recommendation is seen as a minor social failure.
Use 'kan'
Adding 'kan' (Hvad kan du anbefale?) makes you sound much more like a native speaker in shops.
V2 Rule
Never say 'Hvad du anbefaler?'. It sounds very broken to a Danish ear.
