Significado
Relaxing.
Contexto cultural
The phrase is linked to 'Pyt'—the Danish word for 'never mind'. Both encourage a healthy distance from stress. Be careful! 'Roligt' in Swedish means 'funny'. If you say 'ta det roligt' to a Swede, they might think you're telling them to be funny. Norwegians use 'ta det med ro', which is almost identical and perfectly understood in Denmark. In Danish offices, telling a boss to 'tage det roligt' is actually acceptable if they are being unreasonable, reflecting the flat hierarchy.
The 'Det' Rule
Never forget the 'det'. Without it, the phrase sounds like you are physically picking up something quietly.
Swedish False Friend
Remember that 'roligt' means 'funny' in Swedish. Use 'lugnt' if you cross the bridge to Malmö!
