意思
Starting to speak in a meeting.
文化背景
In Danish weddings, it is common for many people to 'tage ordet.' There is often a 'toastmaster' who coordinates the order of speakers. In Greenlandic community meetings, 'taking the floor' often involves a long pause of silence beforehand to show respect for the previous speaker. Danish business culture is egalitarian. Even a junior employee is expected to 'tage ordet' if they have a valuable insight. In the Folketing (Danish Parliament), members must be granted 'ordet' by the speaker of the house.
The 'Pause' Technique
In Denmark, wait for a 1-second silence before taking the floor. It shows you were listening.
Don't say 'tage gulvet'
Even though you hear it in English movies, it sounds very wrong in Danish.
