Taking time off work.
文化背景
The 'Industriferie' (Industrial Holiday) is a cultural phenomenon where many businesses close during weeks 28-30. It's the most popular time to 'holde ferie'. Danes love their 'sommerhuse'. 'At holde ferie i sommerhus' is the ultimate way to relax, involving nature, simple living, and hygge. The concept of 'feriepenge' ensures that even low-income workers can afford to 'holde ferie'. It is a key part of the Danish social safety net. In all Scandinavian countries, summer vacation is long (usually 3-4 weeks consecutively), which is quite different from the US or Asia.

Silent 'd'
Remember that the 'd' in 'holde' is silent. Pronouncing it will make you sound very foreign.
