Contexto cultural

Punctuality is vital. If you have an 'aftale', being late is seen as a sign of disrespect for the other person's time. In Greenlandic culture, 'aftaler' can be more flexible due to weather conditions (the 'piffissaq' concept). A verbal 'aftale' is legally binding in Denmark, reflecting the high level of trust in society. Danes often plan social 'aftaler' weeks in advance. Spontaneity is less common than in Southern Europe.
