You'll encounter 'rimelig' in all sorts of situations. From discussing prices to describing working conditions or even evaluating a suggestion, it's a go-to word for Danes. It's less formal than some other options and fits well into everyday conversation. Pay attention to the context, and you'll quickly get a feel for its subtle shades of meaning.
§ 'Rimelig' at work and school
In a professional setting, 'rimelig' is incredibly common. It's used when discussing expectations, agreements, and evaluations. Imagine you're at work, and you're talking about a deadline or a task. If it's manageable and doesn't seem overwhelming, you'd call it 'rimelig'.

§ 'Rimelig' in the news and public discourse

Mange synes, at den nye lov er rimelig.
Here, a lot of people find the new law fair or acceptable.
Priserne på boligmarkedet er ikke altid rimelige i hovedstaden.
This sentence highlights a common complaint: housing prices in the capital aren't always fair or reasonable.
- Remember:
- 'Rimelig' often implies a standard of basic acceptability rather than exceptional quality. It's a useful word for expressing moderation and balance.
By paying attention to these contexts, you'll start to recognize 'rimelig' naturally. It's a foundational word for expressing nuanced opinions in Danish, showing that you can assess a situation with a practical eye. So, next time you hear or read it, you'll know exactly what's being conveyed!
§ Understanding 'rimelig'
Alright, so you've learned that 'rimelig' means 'fair' or 'acceptable'. That's a good start. But as with many words, there are nuances and other words that can seem similar. This section is about helping you choose the right word at the right time. We'll look at 'rimelig' compared to a few other Danish words that might pop up in similar contexts.
The key idea behind 'rimelig' is a sense of something being reasonable, appropriate, or not excessive. It often implies a judgment that something meets a certain standard without being extraordinary. Think of it as hitting the sweet spot – not too much, not too little, just right.
§ rimelig vs. retfærdig
- rimelig
- Fair, acceptable, reasonable (often in a practical or moderate sense).
- retfærdig
- Just, righteous, fair (often in a moral or legal sense).
This is an important distinction. While both can be translated as 'fair' in English, their usage in Danish differs. 'Rimelig' leans towards practicality and moderation. Is the price fair? Is the request reasonable? 'Retfærdig', on the other hand, has a stronger connection to justice, ethics, and equality. Is the decision just? Is the punishment fair?
Prisen var rimelig.
The price was fair/reasonable.
Dommeren traf en retfærdig afgørelse.
The judge made a just/fair decision.
§ rimelig vs. passende
- rimelig
- Fair, acceptable, reasonable (implying a lack of excess or deficiency).
- passende
- Suitable, appropriate, fitting (implying adherence to a standard or expectation).
Both words deal with something being 'right' for a situation, but they come from slightly different angles. 'Rimelig' often focuses on the quantity, cost, or effort being within an acceptable range. 'Passende' focuses more on whether something is suitable or appropriate for a specific context, often relating to social norms, rules, or practical fit.
Det er et rimeligt tilbud.
It is a reasonable/fair offer.
Det var ikke passende opførsel.
That was not appropriate behavior.
§ Other words to consider
Here are a few more words that might cross your path and how they relate to 'rimelig':
- Acceptabel (acceptable): This is very close to 'rimelig' in some contexts, particularly when referring to whether something meets a minimum standard. However, 'rimelig' often carries a stronger sense of being fair or reasonable, not just barely acceptable.
- Fornuftig (sensible, reasonable): 'Fornuftig' emphasizes good judgment and common sense. A 'rimelig' price is often also a 'fornuftig' price, but 'fornuftig' can apply more broadly to ideas, decisions, or people, implying wisdom.
- Billig (cheap): While a 'rimelig' price might be 'billig', 'billig' simply means inexpensive. 'Rimelig' implies the price is fair for what you get, not just low. Something can be 'billig' but not 'rimelig' (e.g., poor quality for the price).
§ When to stick with 'rimelig'
You should use 'rimelig' when you want to express that something is:
- Fair in price or cost: You're not being overcharged.
- Reasonable in a request or expectation: It's not too much to ask.
- Acceptable in quality or quantity: It meets a good standard without being exceptional.
- Moderate or appropriate: It fits the situation without being extreme.
- Justifiable: There's a good reason for it.
En rimelig løsning ville være at dele regningen.
A reasonable/fair solution would be to split the bill.
Har du en rimelig grund til at være her?
Do you have a reasonable/valid reason to be here?
By understanding these distinctions, you'll be able to use 'rimelig' with more precision and confidence, making your Danish sound more natural and accurate. Keep practicing, and you'll get the hang of it!

Como usar
The Danish word rimelig is a versatile adjective that means 'fair,' 'reasonable,' or 'acceptable.' It can be used to describe prices, conditions, expectations, or even people's behavior. For example, if you say 'Det er en rimelig pris,' you mean 'That's a fair price.' It implies a balance or appropriateness in a situation. Rimelig can also function as an adverb, often translated as 'reasonably' or 'fairly.' For instance, 'Hun taler rimelig godt dansk' means 'She speaks reasonably good Danish.' In this context, it often moderates the intensity of an adjective or verb.
One common mistake is confusing rimelig with 'relatively' in all contexts. While it can sometimes mean 'reasonably,' it doesn't always carry the same meaning as 'relatively' in English. For instance, you wouldn't typically say 'Det er rimelig koldt' to mean 'It's relatively cold' in the sense of comparing it to something else; 'ret koldt' or 'forholdsvis koldt' would be more appropriate. Another error is using it where 'just' or 'equitable' might be more fitting in English, particularly when talking about abstract justice. While 'rimelig' touches on fairness, 'retfærdig' is a stronger word for 'just' in a moral or legal sense. For example, 'Det er en retfærdig dom' (It's a just verdict) rather than 'en rimelig dom'.

Rimelig means fair or reasonable. You'll hear it a lot in everyday Danish conversations.
Using rimelig in sentences
You can use rimelig to describe prices, conditions, or situations. For example, 'Det er en rimelig pris' means 'That's a fair price'.

When someone says 'Det lyder rimeligt', they mean 'That sounds reasonable' or 'That sounds fair'. It's a common way to express agreement.
