意思
Being excited about future
文化背景
In Danish business culture, 'se frem til' is the gold standard for politeness. It strikes a balance between being efficient and being friendly, which is highly valued in the flat hierarchy of Danish workplaces. In Greenlandic Danish, the phrase is used similarly, but anticipation is often linked to the seasons, especially the return of the sun after the polar night. Norwegians use 'se frem til' almost identically, but they also frequently use 'glede seg til'. The two languages are so close that this idiom is a perfect 'buy one get one free' for learners. Danes working in international environments often translate this literally into English. Because the English version is also standard, it makes Danes sound very natural and polite in international business.
The 'Til' Rule
Always remember 'til'. Without it, the sentence is incomplete and sounds strange to a Dane.
Positive Only
Only use this for things you like. Don't use it for exams, taxes, or dentist appointments!
