Significado
Responding to inquiries.
Contexto cultural
Danish students are taught to be critical. Answering a question often involves expressing a personal opinion rather than just reciting facts. In Greenlandic culture, silence can be a valid part of 'answering'. One might take a long pause before responding to show respect for the question. In Danish meetings, 'flat hierarchy' means anyone can answer questions, not just the boss. It is seen as efficient. It is considered polite to keep answers brief and to the point. Over-explaining can be seen as boasting or 'un-Danish'.
The 'På' Rule
If you use 'svare', you need 'på'. If you use 'besvare', you don't. Memorize this as: Svare-På vs. Be-Svare.
Don't be afraid to say 'I don't know'
In Denmark, saying 'Det ved jeg ikke' is better than giving a wrong answer.
